Noah Hawley & Hulu Developing 'The Witches Of Cambridge' TV Series

Hulu is currently collaborating with producer Noah Hawley to adapt Alice Hoffman’s novel, The Witches of Cambridge, into a television series. Set in the 1950s, the story follows two Radcliffe students who join a clandestine organization known as the Lilith Society, which is rooted in colonial-era magic. The narrative explores themes of female empowerment and sisterhood against the oppressive backdrop of McCarthyism and academic exclusion. While the project is in the early stages of development, it arrives during a broader cultural resurgence of Hoffman’s work, coinciding with the theatrical sequel to Practical Magic. This adaptation aims to blend historical drama with supernatural elements, examining how institutional systems attempt to suppress women who wield unconventional power. Even though specific casting and production dates remain unconfirmed, the series promises a more academic and politically charged take on the American witch archetype.
