ABC is making a deal with the devil. Well, sort of. Or not really. Either way.

The network has ordered a pilot for a new series based on the John Updike novel “The Witches of Eastwick”. You may also remember that as a 1987 film starring Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer, Susan Sarandon, and Cher.

The pilot is being directed by David Nutter – who’s last 14 pilots have been picked up as series. So there’s a good chance this one could make it to air.

The story revolves around 3 women who are seduced by Satan.

Sounds like a lovely family programming that I’m sure has an infinite number of ideas to keep the concept fresh.

right.
