Werewolves to Invade Fox

Fox is developing a new dramedy about a quartet of female friends in New York who happen to be werewolves. The project, titled Bitches, is described as a quirky urban fairy tale.

The project has received a script plus penalty commitment from the network and comes from feature writer/director Michael Dougherty and Warner Bros. TV.

TV writing duo Gretchen Berg and Aaron Harberts (Pushing Daisies) have come on board to supervise Dougherty. The two also will serve as executive producers alongside Dougherty if the project goes to series.

Dougherty’s writing credits include X2, Urban Legends: Bloody Mary, Superman Returns and Trick ‘r Treat, which he also directed.

Trick ‘r Treat is an anthology horror flick starring Anna Paquin and Dougherty’s feature directing debut. Although receiving great reviews on the festival circuit it has faced many delays and still hasn’t seen a wide release.
