“Eastwick” is a new series on ABC - all about the ladies of Eastwick, and their supernatural powers. Created by Maggie Friedman, it is based on John Updikes novel “The Witches of Eastwick”, and the 1987 film adaptation (truly great movie starring Jack Nicholson as a very believable devil!, and Cher, Susan Sarandon, and Michelle Pfeiffer as the three women).

The TV show follows the lives of three current day women who meet at a wishing fountain and become friends. They are normal (if unhappy) women, with normal (if unhappy) lives and normal powers. That is, until they meet a stranger in town – Darryl Van Horn – who befriends them, opens their hearts and unleashes their true powers. We might guess that Darryl has an agenda – and he does! But does even he know what door he has opened by giving their powers full reign?

The show airs Wednesday nights on ABC.
