Sixty years after Bewitched first cast its spell on television audiences, talk of a Bewitched reboot is stirring fresh excitement. The beloved sitcom, which originally aired from 1964 to 1972, remains a cultural touchstone, remembered for its charm, wit, and magical mischief.

Murphy did not hesitate when asked whether she would appear in a Bewitched reboot. “If they asked me to appear on the show, absolutely I would!” she shared in an interview with New Idea. She added that she would love to be included in some way, noting that longtime fans would appreciate a meaningful nod to the original series.

Her enthusiasm reflects the enduring affection viewers still feel for Bewitched.

With its colorful magic and sharp writing, the series built a loyal following that has lasted across generations—a key reason why a Bewitched reboot continues to spark interest.

While Murphy says she currently has her eye on reality television opportunities, including shows like I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and Dancing with the Stars, she remains fond of her sitcom roots. A reboot would not only revisit Samantha’s magical world but also reconnect audiences with the warmth and humor that made the original series timeless. For fans who grew up watching Tabitha twitch her nose, the possibility of a reboot feels less like a trend and more like a welcome homecoming.
