Starting Wednesday, September 23rd at 10:00pm est, ABC is adding witches to the mix of supernatural popularity with Eastwick. Based on Updike’s classic, and the film, the theory of the show is to mash small-town New England life with a fun, wild trip through entethered wish-fulfillment. As the residents of a truly tiny speck on the map (which looks a hell of a lot like Stars Hollow) go about their fairly mundane existence, and all the seething drama that apparently entails, three women begin to discover strange things are going on, which are perhaps connected to the town’s new resident.
Roxanne, Kat, and Joanna not only aren’t friends as the show opens, they specifically dislike each other. After a strange event brings them together, they find they connect, and that there is more going on than the easy stereotypes they have used to label each other.
