In 2009, ABC aired "Eastwick," a television series adapting the premise of the 1987 film "The Witches of Eastwick." This supernatural dramedy drew inspiration from John Updike's novel, following three contemporary women who find themselves with extraordinary powers after a shared wish and the arrival of a mysterious wealthy individual named Darryl Van Horne.
The series featured Rebecca Romijn as Roxie Torcoletti, a widowed single mother and artist. Her character, the television counterpart to Cher's role in the film, developed clairvoyant abilities, enabling her to see prophetic visions and communicate with spirits. Roxie was also locally ostracized due to suspicions surrounding her late ex-husband's demise.
