by

It’s that time of year again, when the air gets chilly and tales of witches come alive. For centuries, witches and their magical prowess have captivated storytellers as mysterious figures symbolizing our own trials and tribulations. With binge-worthy shows about witches being a fantastic way to embrace the witchy atmosphere, here’s a list of five exceptional series that brought these characters to life!

5) Mayfair Witches

The TV series “Mayfair Witches,” starring Alexandra Daddario as neurosurgeon Rowan Fielding who unexpectedly discovers she can kill with her mind, is based on a trilogy by Anne Rice, renowned for her exploration of mystical beings in “Interview with a Vampire.” As Rowan delves into her family history in New Orleans, she uncovers her connection to a long-lived lineage of witches plagued by a malevolent entity. The show boasts an impressive cast including Harry Hamlin and Jack Huston, and presents a captivating blend of Rice’s signature dark, stylish, and sensual atmosphere. It also delves into the intricacies of female power and the lasting consequences of ethical choices through its magical narrative.

4) Charmed

If you’re seeking a captivating, prolonged series with a supernatural twist, I’d recommend diving into the WB show titled Charmed. In this series, Alyssa Milano, Holly Marie Combs, and Shannon Doherty portray a trio of magical sisters living in San Francisco. When they stumble upon their family’s Book of Shadows, they unknowingly awaken their dormant magical talents. Each sister gains unique powers: Prue has telekinesis, Piper can freeze objects, and Phoebe starts experiencing precognitive visions. By combining their abilities, they fulfill their mission of safeguarding innocents from malevolent entities. _Charmed_ offers an engaging exploration of sisterhood and female camaraderie, as the sisters not only combat evil forces but also share the challenges of love, loss, and motherhood. With eight seasons and a reboot, you’ll have an abundance of spooky season viewing!

3) Sabrina the Teenage Witch

I wholeheartedly endorse the delightful sitcom “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” which offers an enchanting blend of humor and magic that appeals to everyone in the family. As Sabrina, Melissa Joan Hart skillfully portrays a unique character – a half-witch, half-mortal teenage girl navigating the challenges of adolescence amidst the quirks of her aunts, a talking cat, and life in Salem, Massachusetts.

The show follows Sabrina’s compelling journey through high school and college as she juggles her magical abilities with the ordinary struggles of growing up. Her balancing act between her magical side and mortal self often results in amusing predicaments, keeping viewers engaged and entertained.

Though the first season was released nearly three decades ago, its humor and relatable coming-of-age themes remain fresh. The episodic structure allows for easy viewing – whether you’re casually dipping into episodes or indulging in a nostalgic binge of its seven seasons. Give it a watch if you’re looking for a timeless, entertaining series that never fails to bring a smile!

2) A Discovery of Witches

For enthusiasts of Romantasy and lovers of English culture, here’s something special: “A Discovery of Witches“, set at Oxford University, unfolds the enchanting tale of forbidden love between Diana Bishop, a historian with an unwilling witch lineage (played by Teresa Palmer), and Matthew Clairmont, a chemistry professor who is also a vampire (portrayed by Matthew Goode). In this meticulously crafted universe hidden beneath our own, the narrative unfolds as Diana accidentally uncovers an ancient, extremely powerful book thought to be lost, causing an uproar in the realm of witches, vampires, and demons. As Diana submits herself, first to her magical heritage and then to Matthew’s aid and charm, the series offers a steamy three-season adventure that skillfully intertwines romance with an engaging fantastical mystery.

1) WandaVision

Infinity War, Wanda uses her magic to control a town in New Jersey, grieving over his loss. The performances by Olsen and Bettany are remarkable, even though the high-concept plot might be challenging to grasp initially. Yet, the showrunner Jac Schaeffer and director Matt Shakman manage to deliver a finale that is as emotionally satisfying as it is heartbreaking. The single season of “WandaVision” makes for easy binge-watching, and the spinoff “Agatha All Along” offers additional doses of Marvel’s magical charm.
