Q: I just want to know, is "Good Witch" gone for good? I saw the one show before Christmas but haven't seen or heard anything about it since.
"Good Witch" is definitely not gone for good, but it's gone for a while, at least.
Since almost its very beginning (indeed, since before it was a show), "Good Witch" has been built around the Halloween special. The weekly show began life as a string of annual made-for-TV movies, most of which aired as Halloween specials. That tradition has continued with the show, which for five years now has aired Halloween specials each year to break up the time between seasons.
