TV classic 'Bewitched' up for remake

TV classic Bewitched is set to enchant audiences once again, as it is headed for a remake.

The original 1960s series, starring Elizabeth Montgomery as the nose-wrinkling housewife witch, ran for eight seasons and was a huge hit, Contactmusic reported.

The show was reinvigorated in 2005 when Nicole Kidman stepped into Montgomery's shoes to play Samantha in a big-screen adaptation.

And now network executives at CBS want to weave their magic on the sitcom, and bosses have ordered a script from Sony Pictures Television.
