Fox and Will Smith Are Adapting Hitch for TV Because It Was Once a Successful Movie

Who had Hitch in the "next TV remake" office pool?

Fox is developing a series based on the 2005 film starring Will Smith as a date doctor, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The network has given a script commitment to the project, which is being described as a single-camera workplace comedy that explores sexual politics and the dating scene.

Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont (Made of Honor) are writing the script, with Smith's Overbrook Entertainment and Sony Pictures Television on board to produce.

While it doesn't seem likely that Smith would reprise his role as the titular character, he will serve as an executive producer.

Hitch is just the latest film or TV show with a remake in the works. It joins a growing list that already includes Bewitched, The Illusionist, Marley & Me, Problem Child, and more.
