| Joanna, the overly shy local reporter, Kat, the swamped wife and mom, and Roxie, 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 friends 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 Darryl Van Horne, 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. As these enchanting women grow into their newfound talents, Eastwick will never be the same. | ||||||

Ratings [edit]
United States [edit]
Eastwick continuously achieved #2 in its timeslot until the show's cancellation. ABC had confirmed they didn't promote the show as well as their other hits on the channel, and then stopped advertising the show completely after the eighth episode of the show. Ugly Betty replaced Eastwick in its Wednesday 10/9c time slot in January 2010, with ABC shelving episodes 11 and 13 for seven months. Ugly Betty didn't do any better in the timeslot, and was soon canceled. Happy Town then filled the timeslot for the rest of the 2009–10 season, but was also canceled.
