Will Smith romantic comedy “Hitch” to get TV treatment

Will Smith's Hitch movie is being adapted into a series for the small screen, Digital Spy said.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the series will consist of half-hour, single-camera episodes in "a workplace comedy that explores dating and sexual politics".

Will and wife Jada Pinkett Smith will both serve as executive producers for the series, alongside Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont, who will pen the script, and Overbrook Entertainment's James Lassiter and Caleeb Pinkett.

Hitch was released back in 2005 and told the story of Alex 'Hitch' Hitchens, a professional dating advisor who tries to get the girl of his dreams Sara Melas (Eva Mendes).

The film managed to rack up $370 million at the box office worldwide.

Will will next appear in Focus alongside Margot Robbie and is also being eyed up to play a part in the Suicide Squad movie.
