Maggie Friedman (‘Dawson’s Creek’) is apparently penning a pilot for a potential ‘The Witches of Eastwick’ series for ABC. The series, unlike it’s previous incarnations on the small screen, will be based on the ‘the real book’. ‘The Witches of Eastwick’ was made into a 1987 movie starring Jack Nicholson, Cher, Susan Sarandon and Michelle Pfeiffer. The movie was based on a novel by John Updike.
In 1992, Carlton Cuse and Jeffrey Boam were behind a “Witches of Eastwick” pilot for NBC. That version starred Catherine Mary Stewart, Julia Campbell, Ally Walker and Michael Siberri. FOX also did an “Eastwick” pilot. That one would’ve focused on the teenage sons of the original witches. Lori Loughlin, Marcia Cross and Kelly Rutherford starred. Neither pilot was picked up.
