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:
MORE MAGICAL ADVENTURES AWAIT VIEWERS IN SEASON FIVE OF ‘GOOD WITCH’ PREMIERING JUNE 9 ON HALLMARK CHANNEL

Based on the “The Good Witch” movie franchise, which is the most successful franchise in the network’s history, the series stars Catherine Bell (“Army Wives,” “JAG”), Bailee Madison (Just Go with It, “Trophy Wife”) and James Denton (“Desperate Housewives,” “Devious Maids”). Since the first movie premiered 11 years ago, Cassie Nightingale has become a character that Hallmark Channel viewers have fallen in love with and look forward to welcoming into their homes.

Catherine Bell is co-executive producer. Janina Barrett serves as supervising producer. Colin Brunton is producer. “Good Witch” is distributed internationally by ITV Studios Global Entertainment.
What do you think? Do you like the Good Witch TV show? Will you be watching the series when it returns in June?
I love the show, but with the big gaps of the show being on then off, one can lose the storyline. It would be nice if there were not six months or more between the show being on then off.
I love this show!!! I was into magic growing up I still practice it from time to time.It’s a joy watching it.Don’t take it off the air.
Absolutely love this show!!! Hate the wait, but it is always worth it!!!
I love Good Witch and will definitely be watching it. However, I am quite disappointed with Hallmark of late and will not be watching any new shows or WCTH anymore. Not sure if I will get involved with any of the new mystery movies as I don’t appreciate them just cutting off ongoing movie series with no notice, esp those that have been going for many episodes where it is difficult to watch without getting involved with the characters. Or they move them to the next “pay for” station they develope.
I am very excited to hear the good witch will return. My whole family will be watching!
I love e the show good witch!!! Martha is a little over the top,other than that a fantastic show. I hope A igail will be on there as well I just love her!! I can’t pick any favorites as I love them all!! Wow derful family TV showy 8 year old grandson adores Bailee ,he is in love with her. He says Nana she is just so beautiful. He says I wanna marry her. Benjamin says hurry up and get our show ba k on. Lol
I like the show good witch very much keep it on the hall mark channel.
I have being waiting for this, she is an exceptional actress, and that series is amazing! We are a group that watching the series and the movies too.
Love this show. Liked it better when her husband was her love interest because I really liked his character, but it is still a good show. The son and daughter are fine, and I like the lady mayor. I do not like Cassie’s cousin, however, but maybe we are not supposed to. Is Kathy Najimy really going to join? I love her too! All the better.
Yes, I love the show but if it is supposedly one of their BEST shows then why is it only on for such a short season. Continuity is an issue with Good Witch.
July 6 is a Saturday, no? They are ending the first half on a Saturday? I don’t think so…
Yes I love the show can’t wait to see the show again
This is also one of my special movie series please keep it on!!!
I love this show and have been anticipating its return. It’s been long enough dont you think? And now another delay. Ugh.
I love this show!!
