An animated reboot of 'Bewitched' is in the works.
Good news for fans of classic and camp television: Bewitched is coming back to life. That's right, everyone's favorite witchy family is returning to television, this time as an animated series. The news comes from an exclusive Hollywood Reporter story, which details several of Sony Pictures Television's upcoming projects, most of which center on reinventing or reinvigorating classic IPs held by the company.
For those not yet enchanted by Bewitched, the series has long stood as a staple of 1960s and 1970s television. The original series originally debuted in 1964 and centered on the marriage between a witch named Samantha and her woefully human husband Darrin. Most episodes saw Darrin falling victim to one magic spell or another, usually cast by one of Samantha's disapproving witch and warlock relatives.

In the new series, Tabitha will have to juggle life as a regular middle school student with her after-school training to be a witch. The series is being billed as a blend of Hannah Montana and Harry Potter.
The new Bewitched reboot is in early development, and no writers were attached to the project prior to the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike.
