The bewitching will continue. Hallmark Channel has announced that they’ve renewed their Good Witch TV series for a second season of 12 episodes. The two-hour season premiere will air this fall and be followed by 10 hour episodes in 2016.
Here’s the press release:
THE MAGIC CONTINUES: HALLMARK CHANNEL ANNOUNCES SEASON TWO RENEWAL OF “GOOD WITCH,” STARRING CATHERINE BELL, JAMES DENTON AND BAILEE MADISON
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. ITV Studios America controls distribution rights in the world for “Good Witch” outside of North America.
What do you think? Do you like the Good Witch TV show? Do you think it should been renewed or cancelled instead?
Love it! Do not cancel!!!
Had I not seen the Good Witch movies, I would be disappointed with the series; it has lost its charm. If the series continues, I hope Cassie brings back her famed mystical look; she is too common now, and so is her house. We watch to escape the everyday….Please bring back the magic.
I agree with Cynthia. Cassie’s character had a very unique & charming look about her, in the way that she dressed, the jewelry she wore, her hairstyles & makeup, etc. Loved the bewitching, mystical “Cassandra Nightingale Look ” in the movies. She’s not your average person, and shouldn’t ever look too plain. Love her character though. Glad it’s a TV series.
Yes, I agree. Where is the magic??? I believe that Cassie
being a widow had a big influence on the way her
character was portrayed. Also, her daughter, Grace
seemed very depressed. Of course, losing a
husband and father is a tremendous loss. I don’t
think the writers could have done anything else.
Hopefully, in the second season there will be more
joy and magic. What happened to Grandpa George?
We enjoyed all the Good Witch movies–the first one
was the best!!
Absolutely agree with you all! What made the Good Witch movies so wonderful was Cassie Nightingale’s “otherness,” her gentle magic and mystery, all the lovely cachés of her “witchy” personality. Please bring them back in Season 2, Hallmark!
Yes it should be renewed. I loved Catherine in jag and will watch anything she’s in.

I loved this series, am glad it will be back end of 2015 and 2016.
I loved watching Good Witch and cannot wait for it’s return. I hope it runs the entire second series. Maybe years after.
I love this show, the family life. Easy paced and fun to watch. I’m very happy it’s coming back for a second season. Looking forward for great new stories.
LOVE THE SHOW AND CAN’T WAIT FOR IT TO RETURN
Love the show! Would like to see it as a regular weekly series similar to that of Gilmore girls.
I think we’re all looking for something that’s charming and heartwarming to watch.
Looking forward to the Fall series 2.
Can you tell me when the show will air next? I want to make sure that I get to watch the two hour premiere. All the best,
Mara
I love this show and can’t wait for the 2 hour Season Premier this fall and the next 10 episodes in 2016!
I enjoy the series and hope to see many renewals ! Great show…
Thanks for renewing something that is good clean FUN thanks again
I don’t see it going any further than the 2nd season. Once fans see that Jake is definitely not coming back.
since he was killed (on duty as an officer on the show) and she is now a widow we all were disappointed he wasn’t coming back but I do say Denton is a good fit…I personally feel they could of just had him play Jake in the series…but I like their chemistry as neighbors … I guess he was busy or turned down the role….
I am very happy Good Witch has been renewed.One of my favorite show,Thank YOU
I love this series! I can’t wait until it comes back on.
