New York, NY, August 23, 2019 -Hallmark Channel's "Good Witch" wrapped up on Sunday with stellar ratings, claiming the #2 spot among scripted series on ad-supported cable.

"As we wrap up Season Five on a high note, we are beginning to cook up some magic for next season that we know our fans will love."
