My last post about genre shows got me thinking: What are the best TV shows about witches? I’m not talking about the show contain Witches, but those with witches as the focus.
After all, witches have always worked their magic on TV fans, bringing magic, mystery and mayhem to our screens.
Whether it’s the charming chaos of Samantha Stephens trying to blend her magical powers with suburban life in Bewitched, or the darkness of the Halliwell sisters using their powers to fight evil and protect their family legacy in Charmed , brooding drama, there is something charming about The Witch.
These shows invite us into a world where anything is possible, where spells can solve problems or create bigger ones, and where characters grapple with the powers and responsibilities of their gifts.
From lighthearted humor to dark, atmospheric thrillers, TV’s Witches shows us it all: the joy of magic, the weight of secrets, and the power of connection. Maybe that’s why they’re always so irresistible.
Who wouldn’t want to take a peek behind the scenes of the real world of magic?
Before we get to the polls, here are the shows you can choose from (including, against my will, as if I were under a spell), the reboot. There is also a recap and two related shows.
May the best witch show reign supreme!
