MORE MAGICAL ADVENTURES AWAIT VIEWERS WHEN SEASON FIVE OF ‘GOOD WITCH’ PREMIERES MAY 5, ON HALLMARK CHANNEL
Catherine Bell, James Denton and Bailee Madison Return to Star in Network’s Historically Highly-Rated Scripted Primetime Series
PASADENA, CA – February 9, 2019 – “Good Witch” returns for more magical adventures in the bucolic burb of Middleton when season five premieres Sunday, May 5 (8 p.m. ET/PT), on Hallmark Channel. Based on the “The Good Witch” movie franchise that is the most successful in the network’s history, the series stars Catherine Bell (“Army Wives,” “JAG”), Bailee Madison ( J u s t G o wit h I t, “Trophy Wife”) and James Denton (“Desperate Housewives,” “Devious Maids”). Since the first movie 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. The announcement was made today as part of Crown Media Family Networks’ bi-annual Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour. “The longevity of ‘Good Witch’ is a testament to the performances of Catherine Bell and the rest of the remarkable cast, who have brought to life characters our viewers look forward to spending time with,” said Michelle Vicary, Executive Vice President, Programming and Network Publicity, Crown Media Family Networks. “There are exciting changes in store this season as our characters’ lives evolve and we can’t wait for fans to go on the journey with them.” Love is in the air when season five begins with Cassie (Bell) and Sam’s (Denton) muchanticipated wedding, bringing their two families together under one roof to face new challenges as a blended family. Grace (Madison) and Nick (Rhys Matthew Bond) are in their senior year of high school, which isn’t without some bumps in the road as they deal with the uncertainty of life after graduation. Abigail (Sarah Power), Middleton’s new mayor, plays political hardball with her charismatic Blairsville counterpart (Mark Bendavid). Their attraction is undeniable but an ancient curse threatens their budding romance. Stephanie (Kylee Evans) invests in a food truck to expand her business and, in the process, finds herself in a love triangle with the charming, new hospital chaplain (Scott Cavalheiro) and Cassie’s adventurous foster brother (Gianpaolo Venuta). Meanwhile, with Martha (Catherine Disher) unseated as mayor due to a property line snafu, she’s drawn to a new career that’s right up her alley: hosting a local TV talk show. When the chance discovery of the town’s original charter reveals a centuries-old map, the hunt for a fabled, long-lost treasure ensues. If found, it could have momentous implications for the future of this not-so-quiet little town. “Good Witch,” is a Whizbang Films Production in association with ITV Studios America. Darin Goldberg, Orly Adelson, Jonathan Eskenas, Frank Siracusa and Craig Pryce are the executive producers. 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.

STUDIO CITY, CA, September 20, 2017 – Cassie, Grace and Sam are back in “Good Witch: Spellbound,” an eerily entertaining, two-hour “Good Witch” Halloween special event premiering Sunday, October 22, (8 p.m. ET/PT) on Hallmark Channel as part of the network’s “Fall Harvest” programming event. Based on the wildly popular “The Good Witch” movie franchise, which is the most successful in the network’s history, 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”) return. Cassie (Bell) discovers an old photo of long-ago Middleton resident Cotton Perriwood, taken on his porch, festively decorated for Halloween. Along with it are a dusty crate containing four small gargoyles and muslin sheets that bear the cryptic Perriwood prophecy. A mysterious stranger (Noam Jenkins) arrives in town just as bizarre events begin to occur exactly as foretold in the prophecy.
This leads everyone to fear the curse Perriwood vowed as revenge for being driven out of town and kept from his true love is coming to life, promising to make this the most ominous Halloween of all. While the rest of the town is unsettled by the prophecy that is seemingly on its way to being fulfilled, Nick (Rhys Matthew Bond) is doing his best to find a way to scare Sam (Denton) but his unflappable father can’t be spooked, leaving him deflated. But it’s in a very unexpected way that Nick is finally able to give Sam the fright of his life. Meanwhile, Grace (Madison) conjures up a magical idea to bring out the spirit of Halloween by creating a Halloween decorating contest for the local merchants that would also benefit the children’s ward at the hospital. Although the intention was to bring the town together, conflict is created that threatens to test friendships as well as the survival of love itself. On Halloween night, the entire town – including the mysterious stranger – gathers at Grey House for Cassie’s party and the last of the bizarre events occurs as predicted. When Grace races to discover the missing final page of the Perriwood prophecy, Cassie must interpret the clues to figure out how to stop the curse and, along the way, discovers the future isn’t always written exactly as it seems. “Good Witch: Spellbound” is a Whizbang Films Production in association with ITV Studios America. Dean Batali, Orly Adelson, Jonathan Eskenas, Frank Siracusa, Andrea Raffaghello and Craig Pryce are the executive producers. Catherine Bell is co-executive producer. “Good Witch” is distributed internationally by ITV Studios Global Entertainment.
