Will Smith will executive produce 'Hitch' TV series
Will Smith is returning to TV. The former Fresh Prince of Bel Air star will executive produce a small-screen remake of his 2005 romantic comedy, Hitch.
The Hollywood Reporter reports Fox has given a script commitment to a Hitch TV series. Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont (Leap Year, Made of Honour) are writing the script. Jada Pinkett Smith, James Lassiter, and Caleeb Pinkett will executive produce along with Smith.
The 2005 film starred Smith as a “date doctor” who teaches men how to woo women. The new Hitch TV series will be a single-camera, half-hour workplace comedy exploring contemporary dating and sexual politics.
