Hallmark Channel has announced that after seven magical seasons, the long-running Good Witch is coming to an end.

Its series finale will air on Sunday, July 25.

Titled “The Wedding,” the last episode will see the Merriwick cousins join together to fight the mysterious evil that puts their family at risk while other characters face new changes coming their way.

“We thank our leads whose chemistry and talent made ‘Good Witch’ such a beloved and uniquely special viewing experience,” states Randy Pope, Hallmark Channel’s SVP of Programming and Development. “We also extend our gratitude and thanks to the entire cast and crew for their dedication and hard work.”

Viewers were first introduced to Catherine Bell’s starring role as Cassie Nightingale 13 years ago in the 2008 Hallmark original movie The Good Witch. After seven more movies, the Good Witch franchise expanded with the television series premiering in 2015, making Bell’s roles one of the longest-running performances on television.

The actress reacted to the news on social media, saying how co-workers on the show “always felt like family.”

Along with Bell, viewers will have to say goodbye to the town of Middleton and its cast of characters, including James Denton as Cassie’s husband Dr. Sam Radford, Sarah Power, Catherine Disher, Kylee Evans, Katherine Barrell, Marc Bendavid, and Scott Cavalheiro.

Bell co-executive produces the series alongside Darin Goldberg, Orly Adelson, Jonathan Eskenas, Craig Pryce, and Frank Siracusa, with Janina Barrett serving as supervising producer. Additional producers include Colin Brunton, Julie Lawrence, and Angie Cassiram. The show is produced by Whizbang Films in association with ITV Studios America.

    The Hallmark Channel is going down hill. Not much left to watch on it anymore.

    Wrong to end such a great show. One of few that kids can watch and shows them the best of people.

    Good witch was a wholesome christian family program. They succumbed to Hollywood and went down a path that was unacceptable.

    Good Lord!! What the "H" has Catherine Bell done to her face? Haven't seen her for a while but it looks like quite a few too many trips under the knife!

    I haven't caught up with this season yet, but I had been expecting this.

    For the past 6 seasons the average number of viewers has been 1.8-2.2 million. After episode 1 of season 7 the numbers dropped to a fairly steady 1.5.

    Something turned people off to the show this season.

    I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED GOOD WITCH WITH THE ENTIRE CAST OF ACTORS. THEY WERE SO CAREFUL NOT TO BRING ANY SEXUAL SCENES TO SERIES. NOT JUDGING, BUT WE SAW SOMETHING CHANGE. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE NEW COUSIN, BASICALLY CAME OUT OF THE CLOSET. I BELIEVE MANY WERE BEWILDERED WHEN THE SCENES BEGAN ALLOWING THIS NARRATIVE TO COME INTO A SHOW --WHO HAD BEEN SO CAREFUL REGARDING AGES OF VIEWERS. I BELIEVE THIS "BROKE THE SPELL ". I WILL MISS IT, BUT WHEN I SAW THE 2 LADIES IN A ROUND

    ABOUT WAY OF FLIRTING, I KNEW IT WOULD NOT GO ON.

    YES, SO MUCH MERRYWICK COULD HAVE COME OUT. TOO

    BAD, I LOVED THE HALLOWEEN MOVIES.

    I loved watching Good Witch Catherine Belle James Denton and the entire cast did such an amazing job on this series I didn't watch this final season but I will and I'm sure there's a reunion movie in the works.

    Sorry to see it end. Wondering if they brought Joy out of the closet before or after they learned of the cancellation. Even with a gay couple it is a 100% better than most series on television these days. I did notice the Hallmark Channel was changing with different shows and weird commercials. To bad.

    Stopped watching when James Denton came on the show. Loved the rest of the cast and show. Too many Christmas shows 24/7.

    Don't know who made the decision to end this series but it is a big mistake. With less and less good programing on TV I am having a difficult time finding wholesome things to watch. I can only watch Hallmark Christmas movies a few times, till they get boring. Will need to go back to reading and turn off the set. Also the decision to put more same sex couples is heading in the wrong direction.

    This has been my favorite Hallmark series ever. From the movies to the series I’m so sad to see it end. There is so much more to this Merriwick family to be told.

    This was my all time favorite Hallmark series but I actually stopped watching this season because of Hallmark caving to the LGBT narrative. This season just wasn’t the same so I’m not surprised that it’s ending. If they had left well enough alone I believe it could have gone on for years. Plus a little more witchcraft this year wasn’t appealing.
