Of course, we have to start with the show that kicked off this whole article: Agatha All Along, starring an all-star coven, including Kathryn Hahn (Tiny Beautiful Things) reprising her role as the titular Agatha Harkness along with Joe Locke (Heartstopper) as a mysterious magical teen. Joining their adventure down this bumpy magical road are acting greats Debra Jo Rupp, Aubrey Plaza, Sasheer Zamata, Ali Ahn, and legend Patti LuPone, who each bring a great new flavor to this enchanting brew. Witch puns aside, this spin-off of the hit series WandaVision is not just visually spectacular and creatively told — it’s a bastion of representation, featuring an openly gay main character and a talented cast of women 40 and over from different ethnic backgrounds who are fully fleshed-out characters with goals, rich backstories, and flaws. Feels like a first for the MCU.

Taking place in the same universe as CW’s Riverdale, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is a thrilling supernatural horror series that takes the whimsical tone of the original Archie comics and bathes it in the occult. Kiernan Shipka (Mad Men) takes on the role of Greendale's own half-human, half-witch in this coming-of-age story where Sabrina must learn magic while confronting the dark realities of trying to balance witchcraft and her social life as a regular high schooler. The emergence of powers has long been a staple of metaphorically portraying the struggles of puberty, and this series does it with a delightfully campy feel and visually spectacular cinematography that elevates every aspect of the story.

Now, if you want all the witchy madness of Archie Comics without the scares and haunting imagery, then Sabrina the Teenage Witch is the adaptation you need. Nickelodeon star Melissa Joan Hart (Clarissa Explains It All) clicks her heels and steps into the shoes of Sabrina Spellman as she leaps into the whimsically bureaucratic world of witches when she gains her powers on her 16th birthday. Each episode revolves around Sabrina’s journey to master magic while her uncontrolled powers get in the way of her normal teenage life. The vibe of this episodic series is wonderfully '90s, with just the right amount of camp and wacky humor. Plus, the supporting cast and special appearances by real magicians are a treat that keeps the show fun and nostalgic.

‘Charmed’ (1998 - 2006)

IMDb: 7.2/10

Alyssa Milano (Insatiable), Holly Marie Combs (Pretty Little Liars), and the late Shannen Doherty (Heathers) play three charming sisters living in San Francisco who find a book of witchcraft passed down through their family line that prophesied that they would be the most powerful witches of all time. Now, they have to use the “Power of Three” to fend off evils attacking innocents in their city. Charmed is the brainchild of Constance M. Burge (Ally McBeal) and Aaron Spelling (Beverly Hills, 90210), who both made a heavy impact in their genres (dramas led by strong woman protagonists and young adult coming-of-age dramas, respectively), and together, they created a fantasy show that combines the best of both worlds. This long-running cult classic created the template for fantastical broadcast dramas that studios have been cribbing for decades.

AMC presents a companion piece to their other popular Anne Rice adaptation, Interview with the Vampire, that goes deep into the horror side of her oeuvre.

Alexandra Daddario (The White Lotus) steps into a supernatural thrill ride as she takes on the role of Rowan Fielding, the heiress of a dynasty of witches with a history of mysterious deaths that surround them. The show is beautifully shot, and the lore is great to engage with as the mystery slowly unfolds. Anyone who likes a little bit of a scare with their witchcraft is gonna get a good cackle from this one.
