Black-ish creator Kenya Barris is rebooting Bewitched
With Charmed coming back, the Suspiria remake on the way, and “Witchy Woman” helping the Eagles to a baffling milestone, it’s clear that witches are having a moment. Now, Deadline is reporting that Black-ish creator Kenya Barris sold one more show to ABC before he left for the greener pastures of Netflix: A reboot of classic witch sitcom Bewitched that he created with Black-ish writer Yamara Taylor. Deadline’s report says that this new Bewitched is about a “hardworking, black single mom” named Samantha who marries a white slacker named Darren. Of course, even though Samantha is also a witch with real magic powers, “she’s still not as powerful as a decently tall white man with a full head of hair in America.”
