PRODUCTION BEGINS ON TWO-HOUR ‘GOOD WITCH’ HALLOWEEN SPECIAL EVENT
PREMIERING OCTOBER 29 ON HALLMARK CHANNEL
Stars Catherine Bell, Bailee Madison, James Denton Return
Season Three of Network’s Highest-Rated Original, Primetime Series Premieres Early 2017
STUDIO CITY, CA, August 11 – Production has begun in Toronto, ON, Canada on a two-hour, Halloween special event installment of Hallmark Channel’s highest-rated original series, “Good Witch.” Based on the wildly popular “The Good Witch” movie franchise, which is the most successful in the network’s history, the series stars Catherine Bell (“Army Wives,” “JAG”), Bailee Madison (“Northpole: Open for Christmas,” Just Go with It, Trophy Wife) and James Denton (“Desperate Housewives,” “Devious Maids”). Production on season three will commence Monday, September 12.
“‘Good Witch’ is an annual Halloween tradition and a cornerstone of Hallmark Channel’s success,” said Michelle Vicary, Executive Vice President, Programming and Network Publicity, Crown Media Family Networks. “What began as the network’s highest-rated movie franchise has become a powerhouse, routinely ranking among the top 5 original cable TV series on Sunday nights.”
In the special, Cassie (Bell) welcomes a popular fantasy author and her editor to Grey House. Before long, Cassie inspires her to hold the launch party for her latest book right there in Middleton, which shares mysterious and surprising similarities with her stories. Work begins to transform Middleton into the book’s Halloween-inspired setting of Tarynsville but when the event is threatened, Cassie must conjure up a way to save the day – all the while helping the author and editor find a long-simmering love. Meanwhile, a medical emergency keeps Sam (Denton) busy at the hospital and away from Cassie until a surprise patient brings them closer than ever.
In its second season, “Good Witch” averaged a solid 2.4 L+3 HH rating, making Hallmark Channel the #2-rated cable network in the time period. Additionally, the series reached nearly 9.7 million unduplicated viewers and more than 1.8 million viewers in the W25-54 demographic.*
“Good Witch,” is a Whizbang Films Production. Dean Batali, Orly Adelson, Jonathan Eskenas, Frank Siracusa and Craig Pryce are the executive producers. Catherine Bell is co-executive producer. ITV Studios America controls distribution rights in the world for “Good Witch” outside of North America.
What do you think? Are you a fan of the Good Witch TV series? Do you plan to watch this year’s Halloween special on Hallmark Channel?
Love this show! They better not cancel it — they (Hollywood) always seem to cancel the good ones.
Love this show make more
Absolutely love the show and am looking forward to season 3!
Good Witch is reminiscent of shows I watched as a kid while being current and fresh. Not all kids are troubled and real life witches appreciate not being stereo-typed. I fully plan on watching Good Witch on Hallmark Channel and watch it again on Netflix. It’s just nice to watch something that makes you feel good.
I am a huge fan of the show. I am looking forward to new season and the halloween special.
Discovered ths series by accident on my utube. Love it ! However I’m still in a shelter & can only follow on utube. Can’t afford to get cable/digital on my Fon since I have to show a Saving for Getting Housing Evy Month. So could u possibly find a way for me to follow on utube even if it’s delayed ?
I love the series. I look forward to season three

I’m a huge fan of the show! I just saw them filming the Halloween special last night, they film right by my house. It was so exciting seeing Catherine Bell in person! I wish you would bring Hallmark Channel to Canada though! I always have to wait till Thursday nights to see the show here 🙁
Isn’t it ironic that the overwhelming majority of the Hallmark movies and series are filmed in Canada but you can’t watch them?

I am a BIG fan of the Good Witch series and of all the movies, especially the Halloween shows! I really hope that this is not the season finale for either the Halloween show or the series. Their ratings have been very good, and I hope that there will be more shows in the future after this 3rd season. I can’t wait for the 3rd season to begin, and for the Halloween movie to air! It gives the Good Witch fans something positive to look forward to. This is such a quality show, it doesn’t have cursing, sex, and is… Read more »
I am so enthusiastic about the 3rd season of Good Witch! I am a BIG fan of the series and of the movies, as well. I am thankful for this information regarding what will happen in the 3rd series and am looking forward to it! I am glad that the series has caught on and will continue to go on. I wonder and hope that the surprise patient will be Lori, because she was not in the 2nd season, and I miss her! (I also hope that it’s nothing serious, no matter who it is.) I feel that this is… Read more »
