“Hitch” from movie to TV show

Following a bidding war with multiple networks Fox has landed the rights to adapt Hitch into an hour-long small-screen series, according to Deadline . For those of you who need a refresher, Hitch followed Will Smith as date doctor who makes all his own mistakes when falling for Eva Mendes.

Hitch is just the latest film to get the television treatment. Last year, 10 things I hate about you made its short-lived television debut, it was announced that The time traveler’s wife would be hitting the small screen soon  and more recently Goodfellas was optioned.

According to MTV Movies Blog Hitch has something those other projects don’t: a formulaic plot that could easily be turned into an hour-long sitcom lasting several seasons.
