"Bewitched" Is Getting A Reboot

Has your nose been twitching for a little TV magic?

If you’ve been twitching your nose in the hopes of adding a little magic back to television, good news: Bewitched is getting a reboot. 

The beloved 1960s television series starred Elizabeth Montgomery as Samantha, a beautiful witch married to Darrin, an average ad man. It ran for eight seasons, enchanting fans from 1964 to 1972. Now, writer-producer Judalina Neira is teaming up with Sony Pictures Television to bring the show back to television.

While the original series was a comedy, showcasing Samantha’s efforts to be an average housewife, who just happened to be able to make magic with an adorable nose twitch, the reboot is rumored to be a drama, according to Deadline. It makes sense, as most of Neira’s career has been spent on dramas, including Apple TV+’s The Morning Show, the CW’s The Flash, and Prime Video’s Daisy Jones & The Six and The Boys. Now, she’s running the show and promises “character-forward shows that dish up delight with bite,” per a statement in Deadline. While it’s hard to imagine a non-comedic version of Samantha’s Aunt Clara providing disappearing clothing for Darrin or when Samantha became a Southern belle, we will definitely be tuning in to see Neira’s take.

This isn’t the first time someone has tried to revive the magic of Bewitched for television. (There was, of course, a movie in 2005 starring Nicole Kidman and Will Ferrell.) Deadline reports at least three other attempts, including one by black-ish creator Kenya Barris but none of those took flight. Hopefully, this one will and fans can be bewitched by Samantha and Darrin (and Aunt Clara) all over again.
