Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Eastwick was a Dramedy premiering on ABC for their 2009 fall line-up. The show is inspired both by the John Updike novel, The Witches of Eastwick, and the previous film version of the same name.Roxie, Joanna, and Kat are all residents of Eastwick, but have never really interacted. Roxie lost her husband and now has a reputation of a man-eater, mostly because she is seeing a younger man. Joanna is a wannabe Lois Lane, a budding journalist with a hopeless crush on her co-worker, Will. Rounding out the group, Kat is a mother and a wife in a nearly-loveless marriage to her high school sweetheart. The three are drawn together during a harvest festival, when they all make a wish at the local fountain.Afterward, strange things beginning happening in Eastwick. A mysterious millionare, Darryl Van Horne, arrives in a cloud of scandal and begins buying up the town. And the three women, soon becoming fast friends, discover they each possess powerful new gifts. Roxie is able to see the future, Joanna can hypnotize men with a look, and Kat has power over the elements.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The show has been compared to both Desperate Housewives and Sex and the City with magic. The series was canceled due to poor ratings, leaving several episodes unaired on the network (although in Britain the entire series was run by the Hallmark Channel... and again when they became the Universal Channel).

Adaptation Name Change: The three leads are loosely based on the originals in the 1987 movie and the 1984 book that inspired it, but Alexandra became Roxie, Sukie became Joanna, and Jane became Kat.

Absentee Actor: Like Charmed and Heroes, Eastwick only lists the cast members actually appearing in that particular episode instead of having a standard cast list, and like Heroes (and Ashley Benson'snote she plays Rebecca Romijn's daughter next series Pretty Little Liars), they're listed in alphabetical order - with the exception of Paul Gross (Darryl) who due to his "and" billing is always listed last.
