A Practical Magic prequel? We're in!
prequel series is based on the two Alice Hoffman novels of the same name. The period family drama set in 1960s New York City will follow three troubled siblings -- Franny, Jet and Vincent Owens -- as they wrestle with “abnormalities” that have kept them isolated. According to HBO Max, their journey towards self-discovery and self-acceptance will see them contending “with grief, war, bigotry and dark magic, not to mention a centuries-old curse designed to keep them away from love.
The one-hour drama will consist of 10 episodes written and executive produced by Rosenberg and Dana Baratta . Meanwhile, Dunham will executive produce an original series created by 17-year-old Zelda Barnz -- daughter of Daniel and Ben Barnz, the duo behind Jennifer Aniston’s. The half-hour dramedy will follow a group of high school students from a conservative community exploring modern sexuality. Daniel Barnz will serve as director and co-writer alongside Zelda.
