If Good Witch is your guilty pleasure, then you'll be pleased to know that the show returned for its sixth season on the Hallmark channel just last month. And with seasons one to five available to binge on Netflix, we're looking forward to the sixth arriving on the streaming giant platform – which is set to be later this year. Fans are no doubt excited to see all the stars of the show back together, including Sarah Power, who was in fact pregnant during filming for season five.

The sixth season of Good Witch continues to follow the lives of Cassie Nightingale, Dr Sam Radford and more. However, fans will know it's the first season of the show without Cassie's daughter Grace. Grace, played by Bailee Madison, decided to leave at the end of season five to focus on other adventures. Posting on her social media, the actress wrote: "I am so beyond grateful for the memories these last 5 years have provided me, and as this chapter ends tonight I celebrate all that was and all that is ahead."
