“BER” or “PURR” months season: Bell, Book & Candle...
When you watch series like this, you dream of home (you'll create yourself), maybe a small business (your own choice), a family, maybe pets. Such an image of a strong woman. Nice series about human values. I loved the main character's wardrobe. Not intrusive, not yet divided as they are today for every group of society. It's up to you to watch. Good Witch is a fantasy comedy drama series, that is based on, and a continuation of, the television film series of the same name. Produced by Whizbang Films in association with ITV Studios America and the Hallmark Channel, the series premiered on February 28, 2015, and ran for seven seasons, ending on July 25, 2021. Catherine Bell, who plays Cassie Nightingale, the titular "good witch" of the film series, both co-produced and starred in the series. The series follows the residents of the fictional town of Middleton, including Cassie and her daughter Grace as they welcome Dr. Sam Radford and his son to town. and Grace share a gift of enchanted insight and magical intuition. The season 5 finale marked the last regular appearance for Bailee Madison as Grace Russell. The series is filmed in Toronto, Ontario, primarily at Cinespace Film Studios' Kipling Avenue facility. Many outdoor scenes are filmed in and around Hamilton, Ontario. The Scottish Rite Freemasons Temple in Hamilton stands in for Middleton Town Hall. Street scenes in Middleton are largely filmed on King Street in Dundas Ontario, or the Westdale neighbourhood of Hamilton. Several local landmarks are often seen in the background, such as the historic Collins Hotel, Westdale High School, The Ancaster Old Mill, and the Niagara Escarpment. However, season six had the cast and crew travel to Cambridge, Ontario, to film some pivotal scenes. As producer Orly Adelson was president of ITV Studios America in 2014, ITV agreed to become the franchise's TV series distributor outside of North America. In 2019, the show was one of the network's most popular original series, and the Good Witch closed its season five in first place among household ratings on Sundays. The success of the series lifted the Hallmark Channel to be the highest-rated and most-watched cable network on the weekends. In July 2019, Deadline reported that Hallmark Channel renewed the series for a sixth season, and Bailee Madison would be leaving the show. Deadline wrote that "Madison has been on Good Witch series since it launched in 2015, so her exit is bittersweet and emotional." The show won ASCAP Award for Top Television Series at the 2018 ASCAP Film and Television Music Awards. In 2019, the series was nominated for the Saturn Award for Best Fantasy Television Series.
