Eastwick is penned by Maggie Friedman, and loosely based on 1987's The Witches Of Eastwick, which starred Cher, Susan Sarandon, Michelle Pfeiffer and Jack Nicholson.
The show is about three women from the town of Eastwick who discover new powers after an enigmatic stranger arrives in the area.
NBC's Mercy will revolve around three nurses that are bound together by friendship during personal and professional highs and lows. It is written by Friday Night Lights' Liz Heldens.
NBC is also tipped to pick up Dario Scardapane's medical drama Trauma and Jesse Alexander's latest project.
