In a Halloween treat for viewers, Hallmark CHANNEL will premiere the first two hours of Season Two in a Special Sneak Peek Preview, airing October 2015. The first season of the bewitching family drama, which premiered in February 2015, quickly spellbound viewers, making the series the #1 primetime drama Saturday nights at 8 p.m.

"We can't wait to bring Cassie Nightingale's magical journey back in a second season of this series, which cast an undeniable spell on our viewers," said Michelle Vicary, EVP, Programming and Publicity, Crown Media Family Networks.

"Good Witch" captivated audiences in its first season as the bewitching Cassie Nightingale (Bell), everyone's favorite raven-haired enchantress, used her intuitive magical touch to keep viewers guessing. In her small town of Middleton, Cassie continues to conjure up her special brand of magic but even she can't predict the excitement that will brew in her life with her enchanting daughter Grace (Madison) and handsome next-door neighbor, Dr. Sam Radford (Denton) by her side. One thing is certain: Cassie takes on all the fun and romance one day-or one spell-at a time. "Good Witch," an Original Primetime Series, is based on Bell's beloved character from one of Hallmark Channel's longest-running and highest-rated original movie franchises of all-time.
