'Eastwick' to be cut after 13 episodes

Wire report

NEW YORK -- ABC says its new fall drama Eastwick won't be on the air beyond its first 13 episodes.

The show is based on the John Updike novel The Witches of Eastwick and a 1987 film version but has been haunted by low ratings. It attracted fewer than 5 million viewers last week.

It stars Paul Gross and Lindsay Price.
