When “Eastwick” hits the small screen this fall on ABC, it will be with a wink and a nod to both the John Updike book and the movie version of ‘The Witches of Eastwick,’ which starred Cher, Susan Sarandon and Michelle Pfeiffer.
Now Rebecca Romijn, Lindsay Price and Jamie Ray Newman, respectively, take on the roles of three women who are discovering who they are as they come into their magical powers — and they talk to Kevin Frazier about this new magical mystery tour.
“I feel like I can brag when I get to say I’m playing a witch, but I get to brag even more when I get to say I’m playing Cher,” Romijn tells ET.
The first season is also about temptation with Darryl (Paul Gross), the role played by Jack Nicholson in the film, coming into town and seducing the women. So will the series be as sexy as the big-screen version?
“I certainly hope so,” Romijn says. “Yeah, we’re going to push it.”
Luckily, the series is on in a 10 p.m. timeslot, so it will get to be a bit more PG-13 than if it were on earlier, but it still needs to keep within broadcast standards.
That said, Newman reveals, “In episode two, I am in the pool naked!”
Magic powers are something these women wouldn’t mind possessing in real life, as well, and, funnily enough, all three women say they would like to have the same power: teleportation.
But when Frazier asks Romjin what would she make the man in her life [Jerry O'Connell] do if she really had power, she says, “Close drawers behind him.”
