Erin Murphy Announces New TV Show 54 Years After ‘Bewitched'
Erin Murphy confirmed she will return to TV screens later this year-and not just in Bewitched reruns. On June 9, the former child star posted to social media to tease an exciting new project more than 50 years after she ended her run on the beloved classic TV sitcom.
In a post to Instagram, Murphy, 61, shared a selfie with the caption, "A new adventure begins this fall! I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be on a brand-new TV show, and this journey is unlike anything I've done before. I can't share all the details yet, but there will be plenty of hints and surprises leading up to the big reveal. I'll keep you posted!"
Murphy previously teased she had something in the works. In February 2026, she posted to social media to tell fans she was "signing contracts" and doing a "wardrobe fitting," but shared no further details on the project. That same month, she told New Idea she would "absolutely" agree to an appearance on the upcoming Bewitched remake that Sony Pictures Television and Fox Entertainment announced last November if asked.
Murphy played child witch Tabitha Stephens on Bewitched from 1966 to 1972, appearing in 103 episodes after being cast in the role alongside her twin sister Diane. She admittedly "walked away from the business" after the ABC sitcom ended, telling Closer Weeklyin 2019 that she turned down acting jobs as a kid so she could live a normal life.

As an adult, Murphy has been a TV host, makeup artist, acting teacher, motivational speaker, stunt double, and more. The mom of six recently appeared on The Magnificent Others With Billy Corgan podcast, where she explained that she also turned down acting roles so she could focus on raising her sons.
"I made the decision that when I had children, I wanted to raise my children," she shared. "I saw examples of nannies raising the children of actors. So, I did turn down acting jobs."
Murphy ultimately found a way to balance motherhood with her career.
"I was lucky to come across things like hosting jobs and things where I was contacted. ‘Would you like to be a correspondent?' You can work three days a week, and film five shows a day and be home, you know, make breakfast in the morning and be home to get your kids," the Bewitched alum explained. "So I have continuously, when my kids were younger, looked for things I could do and be a mom."
