ABC isn’t exactly burning them at the stake -- still it’s curtains for the witches of Eastwick. The network has announced it’s cancelling the Wednesday night series, based on the popular John Updike 1984 novel The Witches Of Eastwick, which was turned into a film the following year.

The TV show, which stars Rebecca Romijn, Lindsay Price and Sara Rue, will continue filming, to finish out the network's order for 13 episodes, only ten of which have been taped, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Despite the cancellation, the network will air the remaining episodes in the near future.

However, the earliest date a new episode of Eastwick could air would be on November 25 because the show has already been bumped for the next two weeks. The CMA Awards airs Wednesday, November 11 on ABC, followed by an exclusive interview with Janet Jackson on November 18.



Promoting Defying gravity was like the biggest joke in the latest tv shows' history
It certainly didn't look like Grey's anatomy in space and surely was a brilliant show.
It definately deserves that time slot!!!

ATTENTION ABC, SyFy, or any TV people: Please save DEFYING GRAVITY. It is a great show! Please put DEFYING GRAVITY in Eastwick's old slot! I love that show (Defying Gravity) and I do not think it got a fair shot during the summer! Thanks!

there is no need to take that many episodes to get to the part where they do something.

i was under the impression that the show would have more witchery. like, they'd do things to people that wronged them or that they hated or something. i get that they're witches but do something with it!
