The bewitching ladies of Eastwick are coming back to the alphabet network but fans shouldn’t get their hopes up. The ABC TV show’s still cancelled.
Eastwick revolves around three women (Rebecca Romijn, Lindsay Price, and Jaime Ray Newman) who meet at a wishing fountain and become friends. Soon after, mysterious Darryl Van Horne (Paul Gross) moves to town and unleashes powers within them. The cast also includes Ashley Benson, Johann Urb, Jon Bernthal, Sara Rue, and Veronica Cartwright.
The series got off to a poor start in the ratings and the numbers got worse and worse. The network essentially decided to cancel the show by deciding not to order any episodes beyond the initial 13.
ABC aired 11 episodes of Eastwick between September and December 2009. They had originally planned to air all 13 but opted to cut the run short and move Ugly Betty into the timeslot instead.
As you may recall, episode 10 of Eastwick ended with several cliffhangers. For some reason, ABC then ran episode 12, the last one before the series was pulled. The cliffhangers weren’t even mentioned in episode 12 and this left most viewers very confused and upset.
We were able to track down the episodes and in February published extended synopses of the two missing episodes; “Red Bath and Beyond” and the series finale, “Pampered and Tampered.” Not as good as watching them on TV but better than nothing.
Now, six months after Eastwick left the network, ABC has decided to finally air episodes 11 and 13. They’ll air on Saturday July 10th, beginning at 9pm. Unfortunately, most people won’t remember what was going on and episode 12 won’t be rerun between them. What’s more, the series finale doesn’t wrap up the show’s storylines.
What do you think? Are you glad that the last two episodes of Eastwick are finally airing or is it just too late to care?

This show was awesome! But what show don’t start out shaky? I say to many haters and to many hands in the pot stirring up…
I would rather see this show come back and wow the viewers for a 2nd time then these other shows they are bringing back. They did the same thing to a TV show called popular was netball tine favorite A lot of folks do watch TV shows.
If you are going to cancel an amazing show at least wrap it up with a good ending! Not where everything hasn’t fully set out, like Jamie is back what happens? And what happens between the girls and Daryl what happens with Roxie’s husband and how did he come back like seriously you left us with loose ends!
I want witch of east end back best show ever please someone pick it up
ABC u did wrong . u canceled the good show i love eastwick pls come back season 2
bring witches of eastwick back….ugly betty is so lame like most of the teenybopper shows out there along with reality shows that suck
the t.v. serries were just wonderful..i don’t know why the show was cut off..i’m still waiting for season 2…that show revealed a whole new world..i think cutting it off was a mistake
You would thank that ABC would put this on dvd so those of us who enjoyed the show would be able to watch all 13 episodes. Why not put the show on during the off season, take one of the realty shows off
In Australia it was one of the earlier episodes that they didn’t air .. 5 or 6 I think … still not all that were produced were aired … and then to find they are not going to make any more when they left the story hanging at the end of episode 13!! How insane are the producers anyway … when drivel like “Desperate Housewives” continues to be made which I would rather claw my eyes out with toothpicks than watch!!
sure.. eastwick is good, but if you think desperate housewives is drivel you are horribly mistaken. the name of the show doesn’t do it justice. before you judge something watch it first.
