Dougherty develops 'Bitches' at Fox

Fox has entered development on a werewolf horror series with Superman Returns writer Michael Dougherty.

Dramedy Bitches will revolve around four women living in New York who attempt to juggle normal lives with their lycanthropy.

Speaking to Shock Till You Drop earlier in the year about the proposed series, Dougherty revealed: "If you're a werewolf, it should just be another aspect of yourself you're trying to deal with.

"You do want to explore those parallels of being a werewolf and human sexuality. How can you date and fall in love with someone when you're a werewolf and you start to turn when you're aroused?"

Dougherty added that the name Bitches hasn't proved problematic so far, although he has "back up titles just in case".

Aaron Harberts and Gretchen Berg (Pushing Daisies) will executive produce should Fox pick the show up for series.
