Hallmark has handed out an early sixth season renewal to their hit Catherine Bell fronted drama series Good Witch. Original cast member Bailee Madison, who has played Grace Nightingale since season one, will be exiting the series ahead of season six. 
The second season of Good Witch will premiere on Movies 24 on Sunday May 12th at 3pm with a double-bill, it has been announced. In the opening episode of the second season, titled Something Wicked (AKA Good Witch Halloween), as Middleton prepares to host its annual Halloween Fall Festival, Cassie is struggling to spark excitement among her daughter Grace and the rest of her family for their traditionally favorite haunted holiday. Meanwhile, Sam is in need of a spell to see eye to eye with his son Nick, while Abigail launches a sneaky campaign to become the next Festival Queen. And when the Grey House welcomes a spooky stranger with a troubled past, it will take Cassie's signature intuition and the teamwork of her whole family, to put a stop to a dangerous curse and ensure a happy Halloween for all of Middleton. The fourth season of Hallmark's drama series Good Witch will receive its UK premiere on Netflix UK on Monday July 2nd, when all ten episodes will be available to stream.
