Good Witch S1-6
It’s no mystery why the Good Witch TV movies and this highly successful series spin-off are such enduring favourites amongst kids and adults alike. Starring Catherine Bell (JAG, Army Wives) as beloved witch Cassie Nightingale, the feel-good Hallmark franchise is the ultimate in wholesome family viewing.
James Denton (Desperate Housewives’ Mike) co-stars as Dr Sam Radford, alongside Bailee Madison (The Fosters) as Cassie’s daughter Grace and Rhys Matthew Bond (Heartland, Ties that Bind) as troublesome teen Nick Radford.
The series has a four-star rating on Common Sense Media, which says, “Everything you’ve come to like and expect from charming Cassie is here in force: quality, family-friendly content, stellar role models, and examples of making responsible choices. … If you’re looking for a hearty drama series the whole family can enjoy together, Good Witch is well worth your time.”
Good Witch was nominated for a 2019 Saturn Award for Best Fantasy Series from The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films, and has a 93% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
