WEDNESDAY CELEBS
Q: I remember you featured an interview with Catherine Bell late last year, and she said that the next season of “Good Witch” would be coming up in the spring. Can you tell me if Hallmark has issued a release date yet? – Kelli G., West Palm
Beach, Florida A: The network recently announced that the season four premiere of “Good Witch” will be Sunday, April 29 (9 p.m. ET/PT), marking the 10th anniversary of the network’s most popular movie franchise. It began with “The Good Witch” in 2008, the first of seven highly successful movies that led to the launch of the prime-time series, which routinely appears in the top-five shows on ad-supported cable on an incredibly competitive Sunday night.
In season four, Cassie Nightingale (played by Catherine) and Sam (James Denton) are newly engaged and slowly work on wedding plans while helping their kids, Grace (Bailee Madison) and Nick (Rhys Bond), mend their friendship. Grace’s senior year of high school finds her uncertain about plans for college, bringing a bittersweet lesson about life and love. As Cassie and Sam’s wedding day approaches, Cassie conjures up a magical day in the way that only she can. *** Q: When will CBS sire the next season of “Elementary”? We’ve been waiting for quite a while. I really enjoy your articles each week.
– Dennis G., via email A: The sixth season of the procedural crime drama, which is based on the characters and cases in the canon of “Sherlock Holmes,” is set to premiere on Monday, April 30, at 10 p.m. ET. And here’s some more good news: CBS ordered eight additional episodes for this season, bringing the episode count up to 21 (although that is down from its normal 24). Jonny Lee Miller, Lucy Liu, Aidan Quinn and Jon Michael Hill all are set to return, with Desmond Harrington joining the cast as a series regular. Hopefully we’ll find out what is going on with Sherlock after last season’s cliffhanger of his MRI to find out why he’s been experiencing memory loss and hallucinations.
