Hallmark Channel is pleased to announce its newest Original Primetime Series, “Good Witch,” starring Catherine Bell, James Denton and Bailee Madison, has received a second season renewal of 12 new episodes including a two-hour Fall 2015 premiere and 10 new hours to follow in early 2016.
“Good Witch” has charmed audiences in its first season, becoming the network’s most-watched and highest-rated primetime drama in the time period. The announcement of the renewal comes as “Good Witch” stars Catherine Bell and James Denton make their debut at the Marché International des Programmes de Télévision (MIPTV), the world’s largest TV and digital content market and creative forum, in Cannes, France.
“Our viewers have fallen in love with Catherine Bell and her enchanting journey, as well as her talented co-stars, James Denton and Bailee Madison. After seeing the tremendously overwhelming response to the series, there was no question that ‘Good Witch’ would be renewed for a second season,” said Michelle Vicary, Executive Vice President, Programming and Publicity, Crown Media Family Networks. “I am also delighted to announce that Cassie Nightingale will bring her essence and magical charms this Fall with a special 2-hour presentation as an early treat to our beloved fans,” Vicary concluded.
Though her magic always has us spellbound, Cassie Nightingale (Bell) can never predict what excitement will brew in her life with her enchanting daughter, Grace (Madison) and handsome neighbor, Dr. Sam Radford (Denton). Cassie takes on all the fun and romance of life one day or one spell at a time.
“Good Witch,” based on Hallmark Channel’s top-rated movie franchise also starring Bell, is a Whizbang Films Production. Orly Adelson, Jonathan Eskenas, Frank Siracusa, Craig Pryce and Sue Tenney are the executive producers. Catherine Bell is co-executive producer. Andrea Raffaghello is producer.

What do you think? Do you like the Good Witch TV show? Do you think it should been renewed or cancelled instead?
I love Good Witch. I have seen all the movies, and I am glad to have the series to look forward to.
I really enjoyed the show “The Good Witch” that was on this year. I am glad to see it was renewed with a two-hour special in the fall of 2015 and 10 hours in 2016. Catherine Bell is wonderful and the rest of the cast does a great job with their characters. I will be watching for the two hour special in the fall. Thank you Hallmark for continuing this show.
I love the series, I hope the continues. Everyone needs to learn how to see good in people, even if we need I little magic.
Love Catherine Bell…keep the spells coming!
why did hallmark stop supplying cable with on demand function , I missed the last 4 episodes , of the good witch , my favourite programme on Hallmark on cable in cathedral city , where can I watch it now ?
I watched each show and each one got worse. After the two hour start I was determined to continue watching and hoping for improvement. It didn’t happen. So disappointing! The series is NOTHING close to the movies. Too many characters, too many stories, everything has changed. Grey house, Bell Book and Candle, the town of Middleton and barely none of the original cast. I will watch next year to see if any changes were made but if not I won’t waste my time. I love the original MOVIES. Catherine Bell is constantly offering people “a cup of tea” what’s that… Read more »
I definitely hear you, Gloria Ciccotelli, most definitely. I don’t think fans of the GW movies are out of line by asking for tighter scripts with more magic portrayed in them, fewer brand new characters, more strength from the actual main character Cassie Nightingale, less pretty glam from Bell, Book, and Candle (which is, after all, a magic shop- it’s starting to look like an upscale Bath & Body Works), more wry humor! The movies had plenty of gentle, dry humor to go with the pathos- that winning combo seems to have been left out of the series. I guess… Read more »
I have only just started to watch season one , loved all of them , cant wait for season 2

My two daughters and i truly love the show.
We all say definitely must renew
Me and my husband love the show it is so romanic but true to heart and shows the love of the town and true friendship can’t wait to see how it turns out for Cassie and Sam
I love, LOVE this show!!! My 4 year old loves it too! It is the one show I feel like if my children walk into the room it’s okay! I hope they have many season to come. Also my mom watches it too and we have many uplifting conversations about this show. I love Catherine personality! 🙂
I love the Good Witch.Its my favorite show I television because of the “magic”. I am looking forward to the 2 hr. presentation in the fall & the next series to follow.I’m really mad that we have to wait until 2016 to watch I again.I was so disappointed when the series ended. They all get into their character roles very well. James Denton’s ” wooden ” personality suits his character Sam. Abigail adds spice to the series.There is so little on TV these days without vulgarity
And nudity; this is refreshing good entertainment!
Love his show, everyone needs a little magic in their life. So nice to have something positive to watch on TV. This show is a nice contrast to all the sadness we see on the nightly news. Thank you Hallmark.
I’m so glad that Hallmark renewed Good Witch. It’s a series that’s like a breath of fresh air. Thank you Hallmark. I am looking forward to the 2 hr. presentation in the fall & the next series to follow
I was so disappointed when the series ended. This is such an uplifting show with Catherine Bell as it’s lead character. That part was tailor made for her acting ability & personality. She makes the show come alive. The other actors/actresses compliment her. They all get into their character roles very well. James Denton’s ” wooden ” personality suits his character Sam. Abigail adds spice to the series.
Love the show! There is so little on TV these days without vulgarity
And nudity; this is refreshing good entertainment!
By all means renew again & again!! The cast is wonderful!!
