Sneak Peek: “Eastwick”, What Do You Wish For?

This week is the premiere of the ABC series Eastwick, starring Rebecca Romijn, Lindsay Price, Jamie Ray Newman and Paul Gross. Here is the official synopsis:

Have you ever discovered a wealth of inner power that you never knew you had, and it could change the world as you knew it if unleashed? Yeah, neither have we. Eastwick, based on John Updike’s best-selling novel and the popular movie, offers that ultimate wish-fulfillment fantasy.

Joanna (Lindsay Price)—the overly shy local reporter, Kat (Jamie Ray Newman)—the swamped wife and mom, and Roxie (Rebecca Romijn)—the eccentric artist are three very different women living in the New England hamlet of Eastwick. Because of catty gossip and preconceived judgments, they didn’t really like each other that much. But after a bizarre encounter at the local park and one too many martinis, this trio not only become BFFs but begin discovering some bewitching talents they never knew they had.

But these three fast friends aren’t just drawing each other closer…

Something wicked is coming their way, and his name is Daryl Van Horne (Paul Gross)—an irresistible combination of wealth, charisma and bad boy sex appeal that turns the town upside-down. The closer these ladies are drawn into Daryl’s wicked web, the more of their unique powers he unleashes—which we can only imagine will spell trouble with a capital T.

As these enchanting women grow into their newfound talents, Eastwick will never be the same. And while that might be ill-fated for a few locals, it’s still the best thing to happen to this small seaside community in centuries.

As I mentioned back in August, this show was well received by the audience at Comic Con, and I feel sure that it will be a hit with you as well. Tune in this Wednesday night, Sept. 23rd, at 10/9 central, for the premiere of this delightful new ABC series. What do I wish for? Paul Gross on a silver platter, thank you very much.
