            Catherine Bell (Denise Sherwood, “Army Wives”) is a raven-haired enchantress with a hint of magic in the Hallmark Original Movie “The Good Witch,” premiering exclusively on the network Saturday, January 19 (9/8 c).

Chris Potter (“Hairspray,” “Young & The Restless”) costars as Police Chief Jake Russell, a widowed father of two who is captivated by his new neighbor Cassandra ‘Cassie’ Nightingale (Bell), who has decided to move into the long-haunted Grey House for a spell.  As if that weren’t odd enough to her new neighbors, she also opens Bell, Book and Candle, a wondrous shop full of unique items.  For some, including the captivated Jake, Cassie is a breath of fresh air and a love potion that spreads through the neighborhood.  But before she can truly become a part of her new town, she will need to win over some of the more skeptical neighbors who don’t approve of her unique ways.  Is the town’s new ‘witch’ the real deal, or does her vibrant personality just have the neighborhood spellbound?

          “The Good Witch” also stars Catherine Disher (“The Path to 9/11”), Matthew Knight (“Candles on Bay Street”), Peter MacNeill (“Talk to Me,”), Hannah Endicott-Douglas (“Samantha:  An American Girl”) and Paula Boudreau (“Runaway”).

           “The Good Witch” is a Whizbang Films Production.  Orly Adelson, Executive Producer and CEO of Orly Adelson Productions and Frank Siracusa are the executive producers.  Ian McDougall produced and Craig Pryce directed from a script by Rod Spence.
