Bewitched reboot to get a modern, inter-racial twist

The new reboot will follow the life of a black single mum who discovers she has less power than her white, mortal husband despite being a witch.

From 'The X-Files' to 'Will & Grace,' television these days is all about reboots and revivals, so it shouldn't be much of a surprise to know the long-running ’60s sitcom 'Bewitched,' about a witch and her mortal husband, will soon be coming to ABC. 

Deadline reports that before 'Black-ish' creator Kenya Barris departed ABC Studios to embark on a rich overall deal at Netflix, he sold one last high-profile project to ABC. Barris and Black-ish writer/ producer Yamara Taylor will be giving the classic storyline a modern-day makeover, and turn it into "a single camera, interracial blended family comedy."
