Good Witch was cancelled by Hallmark recently, and the stars of the series – Catherine Bell, Kat Barrell, and James Denton – have reacted to the news that there won’t be an eighth season. Bell appeared in the Good Witch series and films for 13 years, but that is all coming to an end soon. The series finale for the drama will air on July 25th at 9 PM, and it is titled “The Wedding.”
Per Deadline, the Hallmark Channel episode sees the Merriwick cousins getting ready to face the mysterious force putting their family legacy at risk while changes are in store for others.

Denton said the following in a statement:
“It would be unseemly to complain about your show being cancelled after seven seasons, and I won’t. I’ve been very fortunate to have been on other long-running series, but Good Witch was special. The fans were so devoted to the show and I’m disappointed for them, but I hope they know how much the actors appreciated their vocal support. The cast was the nicest collection of wildly talented people I’ve ever been around. The producers treated us extremely well, and I’m happy to still have two movies to make with the network so I’m not saying goodbye to the Hallmark audience yet.”
What do you think? Were you surprised that the Good Witch TV show was cancelled by Hallmark? Do you plan to watch the finale later this month? Would you have watched season eight?
Just yesterday I realized it was the series finale! I thought “Oh, no!!! Another good show is ending!!!” I love Good Witch!! It us so heart warming, the characters are great, magical (we all need that magic when we don’t have it in everyday life!), just a good wholesome show!! When something has been on such a good run you keep it going not ax it!! So very disappointed in Hallmark! Hopefully they will realize the error of their ways & reconsider?!
So sad. Love good witch. Was waiting for Abigail’s wedding and everything. Going to miss it greatly at my age 74 yrs. Love it. Bring it back, please.
I’m very upset that this was not renewed for another season. I’ve been watching this since the first movie came out. I was so excited when it became a television series. I really do think Hallmark Channel is making a huge mistake in my opinion.
I am so very sad and disappointed with the cancellation of the Good Witch. This was one of the few shows that I looked forward to watching every week. It was always inspiring and funny and very enjoyable. I am going to miss Cassie but also funny Martha. What a character she was! Each character had its special position in the show and they all collectively made it as good as it was. Please reconsider and bring it back, Hallmark, unless the actors are also ready to move on. I am going to miss it so very much; there are… Read more »
I’m very disappointed in Hallmark. Good Witch is/was such an awesome show. Mystery,family,romance,kids cousins suspense…just looked forward to it. Very disappointed
I was devastated that Good witch was cancelled! I have followed Catherine Bell from the beginning. I only got the subscription to watch Good Witch. Guess I will be deleting that now. I can only hope and pray that Hallmark changes their minds and brings back this show. It was so clean, fun, mysterious and family oriented! And it was getting even better in season 7. What were you people thinking?
I am very disappointed in Hallmark. Good Witch is such a refreshing change from the usual fare of violence, sex and the absurd that has become standard television. I sincerely hope Hallmark will reconsider this decision.
So sad that Hallmark cancelled The Good Witch series. The cast has become members of the family every Sunday night and those marathons are never missed when they run. I hope that we still get Good Witch Movies.
I am distraught!!!
Sorry to see it go, I loved it
Huge disappointment in Hallmark. The great shows have been canceled. Guess I will cancel totally Hallmark from my view since they no longer care about us. The last of great television viewing is gone. I’ll find something else to do with my time. Such a sad day for me and other Hallmark fans.
VERY disappointed with Hallmark. Our Subscription was based on “Good Witch” hour-episodic series (for me & my children). The “writing” in season 8 increased significantly (much better writing). Expected series to run at least to the standard 10 year mark.
– Hoping they may continue with the yearly movie length episodes (TV movies).
I absolutely loved the show. I watched it from the very beginning. I live in Cambridge Ontario and was so exciting to know that there was a few episodes film in our city. I will definitely miss Cassie Nightingale. I loved her roll
I’m so disappointed in Hallmark. It was the ONLY TV series I watched. Other than this my television doesn’t get turned on. I’ve followed Good Witch since the beginning and I’m extremely saddened by the choice to end it. Bad decision on Hallmarks part.
NO NO NO!!!!! I love the Good Witch series. Pure pleasure watching every episode!! Why do executives make these stupid decisions?
This makes me so sad. I have watched from the very beginning…every movie…the whole series. With all the shows on TV now that feature murders…torture…sex assaults…etc…etc…. Watching a good family show with such sweet characters was refreshing. I am really going to miss Cassie Nightingale and all the cast. If there’s any way to bring it back….please reconsider!
