Comedy inspired by classic sitcom Bewitched in development at NBC

NBC is developing Something Wicked, a comedy starring June Diane Raphael.
Something Wicked is described as a comedy with a Bewitched-esque premise and an homage to television comedy classics. It explores the plight of the modern adult woman and how even with witchcraft it is impossible to keep everything in balance.

The series is written and produced by Raphael (pictured left) and Dickinson creator Alena Smith (pictured right). Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, is the studio.

This is the latest high-profile comedy project at NBC. The network also has a pilot in development for a sitcom starring Reba McEntire.

Originally airing on ABC from 1964-72, Bewitched starred Elizabeth Montgomery as Samantha Stevens, a witch who marries an ordinary mortal man, played by Dick York and later Dick Sargent, and promises to live the life of a typical housewife from a suburb.

There have been several attempts to reboot the classic sitcom over the past decade, most recently by Judalina Neira, who is currently developing a new version at Sony TV.

Raphael is probably best known for her work in Netflix's Grace and Frankie, but she has also appeared in the likes of Abbott Elementary and The Morning Show, Freeform's Everything's Trash, Showtime's Black Monday and Netflix's Big Mouth

Smith was the creator, showrunner and executive producer of the Peabody Award-winning series Dickinson, which ran for three seasons on Apple TV+. Previously, she was a writer and producer for Showtime's The Affair and HBO's The Newsroom.
