Will Smith Producing ‘Hitch’ TV Series For Fox

By Angie Han/Oct. 23, 2014 8:00 am EST

As far as movies based on TV shows go, a Hitch TV series doesn’t seem like a bad idea. The premise lends itself easily to small-screen storytelling. Hitch’s business could sustain anything from an episodic, case-of-the-week format to a serialized long-form storyline — or even both at the same time.

Hitch is one of several movie-based shows brewing right now. Just at Fox, there are new takes on Big and Monster-in-Law in development. It should also go well with all the other romcom series currently airing, including NBC’s Marry Me and A to Z and ABC’s Selfie and Manhattan Love Story.
