Space magic is a concept that has fascinated people for centuries. It is the idea that certain individuals possess extraordinary powers that allow them to manipulate and control the forces of the universe. These individuals, known as space magicians, are often portrayed as being able to harness the power of the stars, planets, and other celestial bodies to perform incredible feats. The concept of space magic has been popularized in various forms of media, including books, movies, and video games. In these stories, space magicians are often depicted as having the ability to teleport, create illusions, manipulate gravity, and even control time itself. Their powers are often linked to their connection with the cosmos and their understanding of the laws of the universe.

When she began her current television role, Catherine Bell didn’t know she’d play a witch this long.

Having launched the Hallmark Channel franchise with a series of TV movies, the actress returns as the magical Cassie when the weekly version of “Good Witch” starts its seventh season Sunday. While whimsy and romance remain present, the new round also has a continuing mystery involving pouches of soil that Cassie (Bell, also an executive producer of the show) and her cousins Abigail and Joy (Sarah Power and “Wynonna Earp’s” Katherine Barrell) have acquired.

“Every once in a while, I’ll see one of the original movies and think, ‘Wow. We’ve come so far,’ ” the pleasant Bell noted. “The first movie was 13 years ago, which seems like a lifetime. When we started the series, we changed things a little bit. Giving Cassie a teenage daughter and a new relationship (with James Denton’s Dr. Sam Radford, now Cassie’s husband) made her magic a little less effective, and I think that just makes it more interesting. She’s not perfect.

“She’s still very positive, though,” added Bell. “She has a beautiful perspective on life, which is what I think draws so many people to the show. The movies were a slow evolution, then things flashed forward about 10 years in the series, and even that has evolved. Now, three witchy cousins are brewing things up, and we’ve been reintroducing the level of magic we had in the movies. That’s been fun, because we’d gotten away from that.”

One episode that lets “Good Witch” shake things up — somewhat literally — this season has a “Grease” theme. “That was so much fun to do,” Bell said. “It should be a delight for fans to see us in those different roles. The costumes and sets were amazing.” As for which character she represents, Bell reveals that she’s “a little more Sandy. Remember when Olivia Newton-John wore the black tights at the end of the movie?”

Also a staple of Hallmark movies such as the recent “Meet Me at Christmas,” Bell reprised her “JAG” role as Lt. Col. Sarah “Mac” MacKenzie in several episodes of CBS’ “NCIS: Los Angeles.” The coronavirus pandemic thwarted her planned return to that show, but she hints it still isn’t out of the question.

“I was supposed to make another appearance this season,” she said, “but with COVID, everything was thrown off. By the time they started filming, I was headed to Canada (for ‘Good Witch’ and other work). Scott Gemmill, the (‘NCIS: LA’) showrunner, is a dear friend — we worked together on ‘JAG’ — and we talk all the time, so there’s the idea of bringing Mac back somewhere.”

Performers include: Catherine Bell, Bailee Madison, James Denton, Catherine Disher, Anthony Lemke, Peter MacNeill, and Kylee Evans.

TV show description:
This fantasy dramedy TV show is based on a series of made-for-TV movies of the same name.

Widowed Cassandra “Cassie” Nightingale (Catherine Bell) is a good-hearted enchantress who lives in the community of Middleton. She lives with her young-teenage daughter Grace (Bailee Madison), who shares the same special intuition as her mom.

Their lives get even more interesting when curmudgeonly and divorced doctor Sam Radford (James Denton) and his troublesome son Nick (Rhys Matthew Bond) move in next to the Grey House from New York. They are immediately spellbound by the mother-daughter duo next door, but Sam and Cassie quickly find they don’t see eye to eye.

Stephanie (Kylee Evans), the owner of a local bistro, is smitten with the town’s new doctor. George O’Hanrahan (Peter MacNeill) is the father of Cassie’s late husband’s late first wife, — whom Grace calls Grandpa — and new police officer Brandon Russell (Dan Jeannotte) is Cassie’s step-son. Martha Tinsdale (Catherine Disher) is the town’s mayor and Derek Sanders (Noah Cappe) is the chief of police.

With her signature charm, Cassie attempts to bring everyone together, ensuring all of Middleton is in for big surprises and a little bit of magic.
