Erin Murphy, 62, posted a new car selfie that turned a simple social update into fresh reboot chatter around Bewitched. She described herself as “feeling fancy” in a cream-colored gown and gold pearls, then said she would absolutely appear if the show came calling.
“If they asked me to appear on the show, absolutely I would!” Murphy said in a recent interview with New Idea about a Bewitched reboot. She added, “I'd love to be included in some way, and I know fans of the original Bewitched would enjoy that fun reference to the past.”
Tabitha Stephens and the reboot talk
Murphy played Tabitha Stephens in Bewitched from 1966 to 1972, when she was still a child actor. That long gap matters because the new photo is not just nostalgia bait; it shows a former cast member still posting publicly while the franchise itself is being discussed in reboot form.
Back in November, Deadline reported that an hourlong reimagining of Bewitched was in development. The new series would follow Samantha and Darrin falling in love at first sight, which gives Murphy’s comments a direct link to a version of the property that is still being shaped rather than one already locked into production.
Murphy’s social media pattern
Back in March, Murphy shared a photo of herself alongside Billy Corgan and wrote, “Answer to today's question: Billy Corgan, lead singer of the Smashing Pumpkins and one of the coolest, smartest, most interesting people ever! Looking forward to sharing our interview and future collaborations. ❤️ #billycorgan#smashingpumpkins,” That earlier post shows she is using social media for more than one-off nostalgia; she keeps her name in circulation through new images and new projects.
The latest car selfie fits that pattern. Murphy is not waiting for a formal campaign to keep Bewitched alive in public view, and she is already on record saying she would take part if invited. That leaves the practical issue in one place: whether the reimagining gives Tabitha Stephens a role at all.
Whether Erin Murphy
Whether Erin Murphy will actually be invited to join the Bewitched reimagining is the unresolved part. For now, the market signal is simple: a 62-year-old original cast member is willing, fans are being nudged back toward the franchise, and the reboot discussion has enough momentum to make her availability part of the story.
