A stage musical adaptation of the classic 1960s television sitcom "The Beverly Hillbillies" is officially in development. The project was announced by producer and writer David K. O'Malley, who has secured the theatrical rights from CBS Studios.
The musical will follow the story of the Clampett family, who strike oil on their rural land and move to a mansion in Beverly Hills. The creative team aims to capture the show's signature fish-out-of-water humor and satirical look at class and wealth.
While a full creative team and cast have not been announced, the production is targeting a 2026 premiere. The specific venue and opening date remain unconfirmed as of March 2026.
The original "Beverly Hillbillies" series aired on CBS from 1962 to 1971 and remains a staple of American television reruns. This marks its first major adaptation for the live stage.
