The original 1964 Bewitched television series was created by Sol Saks and starred Elizabeth Montgomery as Samantha, a suburban housewife married to Dick York (later Dick Sargent) in the role of Darrin Stephens.

The TV adaptation of 12 Monkeys ended up being very different from the Bruce Willis/Brad Pitt time-travel movie it was based on — but it was still just as great. Released in 1995, Terry Gilliam’s initial film version of 12 Monkeys takes place in a post-apocalyptic future ravaged by a deadly disease. Willis plays a convict who’s sent back in time to gather information about the creation of the virus that ended up decimating the human population. When the time travel experiment goes awry, he ends up in the wrong year.

In 2015, 12 Monkeys was reimagined as an underrated TV show for Syfy. The series was created by Terry Matalas and Travis Fickett, and in its first season, it was run by Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles’ Natalie Chaidez. The movie is a loose remake of the classic 1962 French short La Jetée, about a time traveler who gets caught in a stable time loop.

The classic sitcom Bewitched ran for eight seasons and a total of 254 episodes, premiering on September 17, 1964 and wrapping up on March 25, 1972. A spin-off called Tabitha came and went in 1977, then Bewitched received a big screen reboot back in 2005… and in recent years, Sony has shown that they’re very eager to reboot the property again. Back in 2018, it was announced that Black-ish creator Kenya Barris and writer Yamara Taylor were working on a TV series reboot that would give the concept “an interracial twist”. That didn’t go anywhere. In 2021, it was reported that Terry Matalas (MacGyver) and Travis Fickett (12 Monkeys) had been hired to write the screenplay for a new Bewitched movie. That never made it into production… and apparently the idea has been abandoned, because now Deadline has learned that writer/producer Judalina Neira has signed an overall deal with Sony Pictures Television that’s focused on developing...

12 Monkeys offers a unique and fascinating take on time travel, incorporating predestination paradoxes and intersecting timelines. Fans of Star Trek will recognize familiar faces in 12 Monkeys, including Todd Stashwick and Aaron Stanford. The show is filled with shocking twists and satisfying pay-offs, with a strong internal logic that ties up loose ends and completes character arcs.

Star Trek: Picard season 3 showrunner Terry Matalas has another incredible science fiction show that should appeal to Star Trek fans. Picard season 3 reunited the core crew of the USS Enterprise-d on one last adventure to save the galaxy, and has received praise from critics and fans alike. With beloved familiar faces, classic villains, and compelling new characters, Picard season 3 had a lot to love, and much of that is thanks to Terry Matalas. Now that no new Star Trek shows are currently airing, fans may be looking for something else to watch,...

Fans of the Terminator franchise lament new entries in the franchise because T2 was a perfect ending. Thanks to time travel, there are many ways to interpret events so that The Terminator and T2 are both the beginning and end of the saga. This requires a little suspension of disbelief and imagination, but it can allow fans to enjoy new installments without judging them against T2.

Some will always be disgruntled with how modern films, television series and other media evolve a fictional universe they loved as a child. When this happens, they'll often declare one of the past entries as when the story "really ended." In the case of the Terminator film series, many fans believe the first sequel, James Cameron's T2, is the perfect end to the series. The good news is, even with all the successive films, comics and games, it still can be, while not...

When SyFy announced the reboot series 12 Monkeys, fans of the classic movie rolled their eyes and asked, "Why?" However, with the show's narrative complexity and unforgettable characters, it more than justified its existence. Jennifer Goines, the character inspired by Brad Pitt in the film, is easily 12 Monkeys' best character, but she almost wasn't in the show at all. At least not in its earliest stages.

Sci-fi fans best know Terry Matalas as Star Trek: Picard Season 3's mastermind and the only storyteller who can give fans Star Trek: Legacy. However, before he reunited the crew of the USS Enterprise-d, he and his former college roommate Travis Fickett decided to take on time and space. Emily Hampshire, also known for playing Stevie on Schitt's Creek, was cast in a gender-swapped version of Jeffrey Goines, a breakout role for Pitt. Only, the story Fickett and Matalas came up with wasn't originally based on 12 Monkeys,...

The final season of Star Trek: Picard delivered to fans and Paramount+ what they'd been waiting for since the show was first announced. Picard was a series that earned its arc into nostalgia by simply being a good, well story. While fans are mostly content that cast members from the series think Star Trek: Legacy is a great idea, the biggest threat to the proposed spinoff would be losing its architect: Terry Matalas.

From LeVar Burton's appearance on The View to the cast's long-form interviews on fan shows like The Ready Room or The Shuttlepod Show, they all sing the praises of Picard's showrunner. The idea for the final outing to be a reunion of The Next Generation cast was his. Fans of the behind-the-scenes history of Star Trek know legacy actors can be difficult to wrangle; however, Matalas took an approach that made them feel invested in the storytelling.

Since its launch in 2019, a pillar of Disney+ has been revisiting and building upon stories from across the Walt Disney Company's brands. Whether that's traveling deeper into a galaxy far, far away with new "Star Wars" shows, uncovering uncharted corners of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, or catching up with fan-favorite characters from beloved shows and movies like "The Santa Clause," "Night at the Museum," or "Enchanted," the House of Mouse's streaming platform continues to offer interesting and exciting ways to revitalize their biggest franchises. Although, the service also creates an avenue to revitalize lesser-known or forgotten properties from Disney's past. With their 100th anniversary just around the corner, that's likely to happen a lot more in 2023. But even before the new year is upon us, the company has announced that they're taking another trip back to Witch Mountain.

The new show will follow two teens that develop strange abilities and discover their sleepy suburb may not be as idyllic as it seems. Which is a take on the film, adapted itself from a 1968 novel. It has seen various stages of the Disney process, including a couple of sequels, a 1995 TV remake and a movie reboot called Race To Witch Mountain that starred Dwayne Johnson.

Star Trek: Picard Season 2 Episode 1

As season premieres go, Star Trek: Picard’s Season 2 debut — “The Star Gazer” — is a banger. If anyone had any doubts if this new season was going to be exciting and different than what was expected, it feels like this episode will easily silence the haters. With an utterly familiar Star Trek-y feeling and a fantastic and complex new plot, Picard Season 2 feels like the Star Trek: The Next Generation sequel everyone was waiting for.

And, that means, there are a lot of Easter eggs and references to the entire Star Trek franchise. In some ways, “The Star Gazer” plays out like a short Trek feature film, which means that there is a lot packed into this episode that you might have missed.

Following the success of WandaVision at Disney+, a Bewitched movie reboot is in development at Sony Pictures. Based on the original comedy series that starred Elizabeth Montgomery, the new movie adaptation will apparently ignore the 2005 movie that was widely panned upon its release. Terry Matalas and Travis Fickett, the team behind the TV series MacGyver and 12 Monkeys, will write the screenplay for the new remake with John Davis and John Fox producing via David Entertainment.

The original Bewitched television series followed the married life of a witch named Samantha (Elizabeth Montgomery) and her mortal husband, an advertising executive named Darrin Stephens (first played by Dick York and later by Dick Sargent). At the time, the series was a tremendous hit, scoring very high ratings as one of the most popular shows of the era. Ultimately, 254 episodes were produced over the course of eight seasons, with the switch from black-and-white...

Sony Pictures is in early development on a new adaptation of the classic sitcom “Bewitched,” starring Elizabeth Montgomery.

Montgomery starred for eight seasons as Samantha Stephens, a witch married to an ordinary man named Darrin (Dick York and later Dick Sargent) and whose magical powers often cause — yet, sometimes solve — a few wrinkles in her life as a typical suburban housewife.

Created by Sol Saks, under executive producer Harry Ackerman, “Bewitched” ran from 1964 to 1972 on ABC and was a defining example of the genre. Its spinoff, “Tabitha” (focused on Samantha and Darren’s daughter), ran for one season.

The new film comes from producers John Davis and John Fox with a script written by Terry Matalas and Travis Fickett. Matalas has an overall deal at CBS and is currently co-running “Star Trek: Picard.” The quartet is also developing the “Witch Mountain” remake for Disney Plus.

Sony Pictures is in early development on a new movie take on the ’60s sitcom “Bewitched” that starred Elizabeth Montgomery.

The new “Bewitched” movie will be written by Terry Matalas and Travis Fickett, who are the creators behind the series “MacGyver” and “12 Monkeys.”

John Davis and John Fox are developing the film that’s based on the original sitcom series.

“Bewitched” ran for eight seasons and 254 episodes beginning in 1964 and was the story of a witch married to an ordinary man, whom she does not inform of her special powers until after their wedding. She agrees to attempt to hide her magic from extended family and the outside world but struggles to hide her instincts with hilarious results.

Exclusive: Sony Pictures has set a movie based on Bewitched, the classic TV series that starred Elizabeth Montgomery. Terry Matalas and Travis Fickett, who ran the MacGyver and 12 Monkeys series, will write the script. John Davis and John Fox are producing through Davis Entertainment.

Sony tried a romantic comedy movie version in 2005, which Nora Ephron directed and which starred Nicole Kidman as the witch and Will Ferrell as her hapless husband Darrin. This one will be different, I’m told. Its jumping-off point is the series, in which a witch marries an advertising exec and then tries to hide her powers and her crazy relatives who drop in often.

Around this time last year, Syfy debuted its new series 12 Monkeys, based on the hit 1995 movie of the same name, which became a hit with fans and critics alike. Unfortunately, fans will have to wait a bit longer for Season 2 to roll around, with the network announcing earlier this month that the second season will debut Monday, April 18 at 9 Pm Et. Earlier today, the network released the first trailer for 12 Monkeys Season 2, which reveals that the show is shifting back in time to World War II.

In the Season 1 finale, Cassie Railly (Amanda Schull) was sent forward into time, to the year 2043, but this season, she'll be reuniting with James Cole (Aaron Stanford) in the past.

12 Monkeys has been one of this years great surprises. It's a clever, unique take on time-travel packed with action, excellent performances and keen storytelling. Building on the bare-bones premise of the cult film, the series follows James Cole (Aaron Stanford) as he travels through time on a mission to prevent the apocalyptic pandemic set off by the Army of the 12 Monkeys. As he jumps from year to year, Cole encounters Dr. Cassandra Reilly (Amanda Schull), a virologist caught up in Cole’s Mission, and Jennifer Goines (Emily Hampshire) a mental patient harboring the secrets that could save the world, both of whom play a critical role in the future of the human race. I recently had the opportunity to interview the season-one showrunner Natalie Chaidez. We talked about what showrunner's job entails, successfully running the first season, and what series creators Terry Matalas and Travis Fickett get right about time travel.

The monkey business will continue on Syfy. The cable channel has picked up “12 Monkeys” for a second season, set to air in 2016, with co-executive producers Terry Matalas and Travis Fickett moving up to take over showrunner duties from Natalie Chaidez, who is stepping away to develop another Syfy series, “Hunters.” Using the 1995 theatrical film …

Jason Voorhees, the living dead of George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead, the librarian phantom from Ghostbusters, the reanimated dead of Cemetery Man—these memorable horror movie characters and many more came to life onscreen due in large part to the talented hands and crafty eyes of FX legends Tom Savini, Steve Johnson, and Sergio Stivaletti.

Tate Steinsiek, an FX artist who also has an impressive résumé, teaches Ill Willed FX Workshops around the world, and on his international tour this summer, he's bringing in the aforementioned talented trio to offer their priceless advice in select sessions, with Savini joining the Amsterdam series, Johnson coming in for the Dublin series, and Stivaletti set for the Rome series. Also included in our latest round-up are details for Dark Horse's Plants vs. Zombies: Bully for You #1, the first issue in a new comic miniseries debuting in June, as well as...

SyFy has renewed its Terry Gilliam adaptation 12 Monkeys for a second season. Currently midway through its rookie outing, the network will further the adventures of the time-traveling Cole for another string of episodes due to bow in 2016.

Behind the scenes responsibilities will undergo a slight change before production rolls out, though. Showrunner Nathalie Chaidez is exiting to concentrate her efforts on another Syfy property called Hunters. Taking her place are Terry Matalas and Travis Fickett, the co-executive producers and writers of the pilot, who will step up their duties.

Strong support from audiences has given the show an edge on ratings since it debuted. As it stands now, the series has reached 15 million viewers overall, and is increasing its viewership on a weekly basis. Its season finale will land on April 10 – the same day as Netflix drops all 13 episodes of Marvel’s Daredevil – so we will have to wait to...

Get ready for "12 Monkeys" X 2. Does that mean 24 monkeys? We can only hope. Syfy announced on Thursday (March 12) that "12 Monkeys" will be back for a second season in 2016.  While the renewal announcement doesn't include an episode count, it does include an interesting tidbit: With current showrunner Natalie Chaidez developing Syfy's "Hunters," Terry Matalas and Travis Fickett, who wrote the pilot, will be stepping up as showrunners. This is especially fun for those of us who remember Fickett from his days as a TV reporter for IGN. "We are absolutely committed to '12 Monkeys,' and have been incredibly impressed by the outstanding critical and audience praise the series has earned," blurbs Dave Howe, Syfy President. "The talent both on and off-screen have delivered a series that has us all on the edge of our seats, providing exactly the smart, exciting storytelling Syfy is known for." In its most recent airing,...

Syfy announced today that the widely praised adventure thriller 12 Monkeys has been greenlit for a second season, expected to air in 2016. With Natalie Chaidez prepping her next Syfy series (Ucp and Valhalla Productions' Hunters), Terry Matalas and Travis Fickett (Nikita), co-executive producers and writers of the pilot, will be stepping up to serve as Ep/Showrunners. Atlas Entertainment's Richard Suckle (Suicide Squad, American Hustle, The International) and Charles Roven (Suicide Squad, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, American Hustle) will continue to executive produce with Atlas' Jake Kurily producing. Roven served as producer on the original 12 Monkeys film.

Currently in its first season, 12 Monkeys has reached 15 million viewers to date, and is experiencing record L3 lifts for the network (average L3 lift is 104%). The renewal also comes as the series continues to gain momentum, with its most recent episode (Friday, March 6) seeing an increase of 6% over the prior four weeks,...

Syfy has renewed its TV series adaptation of "12 Monkeys" for a second season to air next year. The time travel drama scored not only solid reviews, but has been seeing its numbers increase over its thirteen episode first season so far. The first season's finale airs April 10th.

One change for the second season though is that Natalie Chaidez will step down as show runner to prepare the new series "Hunters" for the network. In her place, co-executive producers and the pilot's co-scribes Terry Matalas and Travis Fickett will take over as show runners.

This isn't the only renewal news today as CBS has reportedly given early renewals to its sitcoms "Mom" and "Mike and Molly" for a third and sixth season respectively.
