DESCRIPTION:
(from Lifetime's press release, January 2013) Lifetime has picked up the drama Witches of East End, starring Julia Ormond (Mad Men), Jenna Dewan-Tatum (American Horror Story), Rachel Boston (In Plain Sight) and Mädchen Amick (Twin Peaks), it was announced today by Rob Sharenow, Executive Vice President, Programming, of Lifetime Networks. Lifetime ordered 10 episodes of the series to launch this year. Based on Melissa de la Cruz's best-selling novel, Witches of East End centers on the adventures of Joanna Beauchamp (Ormond) and her two adult daughters Freya (Dewan-Tatum) and Ingrid (Boston) -- both of whom unknowingly are their family's next generation of witches -- who lead seemingly quiet, uneventful modern day lives in Long Island's secluded seaside town of East Haven. When Freya becomes engaged to a young, wealthy newcomer, a series of events forces Joanna to admit to her daughters they are, in fact, powerful and immortal witches. Amick stars as Joanna's mischievous witch sister Wendy. Maggie Friedman (Dawson's Creek, Jack and Bobby and Eastwick) wrote the pilot, which was directed by Mark Waters (Mean Girls), and will executive produce Witches of East End with Erwin Stoff (The Matrix) of 3 Arts Entertainment. The series hails from Fox 21 (Homeland, Sons of Anarchy). |
