A "BEWITCHED" Series Reboot Is In The Works From The Writer Of 'THE BOYS'

Just when you thought you couldn’t get more witchy content, it seems that a “BEWITCHED” reboot is happening from “The Boys” scribe and “Gen V” co-executive producer Judalina Neira. Deadline reports that the series reboot is the first project under Neira’s new deal with Sony Pictures TV.

Written by Neira, the “Bewitched” reboot is described as an hour-long reimagining of the classic TV series that premiered in 1964 and ran for 254 episodes. It followed a witch named Samantha, who married a mortal man and attempts to lead the life of a stereotypical suburban housewife.

“Bewitched” is part of Neira’s newly signed deal with Sony Pictures Television focused on developing drama series for cable and streaming through her newly launched production company, Famous Last Words Productions.

“Judalina joined the Sony family with her work on The Boys, and we are incredibly proud of her contributions to supporting creator Eric Kripke’s vision,” said Lauren Stein, Head of Creative, Sony Pictures Television. “She brings passion and authenticity and has been such a champion for the representation and growth of Latinx writers — we knew we had to make a deal with her! We are so excited to have her call Sony home and can’t wait for what is to come as we deepen our relationship.”

“It’s been such a pleasure telling wicked stories with the team at Sony TV these past few years,” Neira told Deadline. “I couldn’t be more amped to join forces with them for this next big step in my career. And under our newly launched Famous Last Words Productions, I’m excited to both write and produce a full slate of hooky character-forward shows that dish up delight with bite.”
