ABC has handed out a pilot production commitment to a reboot of Bewitched from Black-ish creator Kenya Barris and Yamara Taylor, according to Deadline.
The project was in the works prior to Barris’ recent departure from ABC studios to embark on a new huge deal at Netflix.
In the all-new Bewitched, Samantha, a black single mother who happens to be a witch, marries Darren, a mortal white man who is a bit of a slacker. The couple struggles to navigate their difference and Samantha discovers that even though she has magic, she’s still not as powerful as a white man in America, Deadline reports.
The original Bewitched was aired on ABC from 1964 to 1972. It starred Elizabeth Montgomery as Samantha, Dick York as Darren no. 1 and Dick Sargent as Darren no. 2. It was created by Sol Saks and produced b Harry Ackerman.
