If you’ve been looking forward to the return of the Good Witch TV show on Hallmark Channel, you’ll want to adjust your calendar. The supernatural drama series had been set to return on Sunday, May 5th. Hallmark now says that Good Witch will return on Sunday, June 9th at 8 p.m.. Another episode will air on Monday, June 10th at 8 p.m. with the rest of the installments airing on Sundays. The series will take a break in July and season five will wrap on August 18th (see below for details).
It appears that the rescheduling of Good Witch is due to Hallmark’s decision to pull and rework the remaining episodes of season six of When Calls the Heart. That series returns on Good Witch’s former premiere date, May 5th.
Here’s the press release:

I truly am captivated by the characters in this series. I plan to continue watching it and hopefully I will be able to purchase all 4 previous seasons on DVD soon. As well as the movies !
This is the best TV program on. It’s is clean and makes you feel like you are a part of it. We have been watching reruns over and over waiting for the new season to start. So glad it is coming finial.
I love this show. It’s so heart warming. When I have had a bad I go to my recorded episodes and watch them for hours. Because I know watching Good Witch always cheers me up and makes me feel better. I am truely going to miss this show when it has it’s finale. I will truely truely miss this wonderful fantastic show.
The “Good Witch” I’d have to say is my overall favorite TV series. I have several shows that I look forward to in addition to “Good Witch” but this is the only show that bums me out when the episodes are over each night. I just sit and watch it and it almost always takes me by surprise when the episode is over. That’s a true sign of something that’s entertaining if anything is. I was concerned the last half of season 4 because I had to get rid of cable. But it was on the Hallmark app so I… Read more »
I look forward to this delightful show! Yes I’ll be watching please keep renewing!
I love this show and cast please keep doing a wonderful job. The show is a pleasure to have in the home.
This is the best show on tv. Why is season 5 so short? We’ve waited such a long time for it to start. And it starts late in the season and is only on a few weeks. Why? Why can’t the show run from fall through the spring? Please bring us longer seasons! Please! Debbie Chase
I hadn’t thought about how short the seasons are getting. I would like to put my vote in for longer seasons too. Bring back the seasons of 26 to 32 episodes per season please. I’d sure watch them all if you did. 🙂
This is one of the best shows on Tv. I look forward t every episode and that doesn’t happen much in this day and age
Can’t wait for Good Witch to begin Season 5! Was so disappointed when it did not start in May. This is the most positive show on Hallmark. There are lessons to be learned in each show. The characters are great! I can sit back, relax, and at the end of the show enjoy these wonderful, happy feelings for quite some time. Love Good Witch!
