The Good Witch's Destiny

On October 26, The Good Witch’s Destiny, the sixth movie in the franchise, will debut on the Hallmark Channel at 9 PM.

All Cassie Nightingale (Catherine Bell) wants for her birthday is for her family and friends to be together. While her husband Jake (Chris Potter) suggests an intimate dinner at a fancy restaurant in their hometown of Middleton, Cassie would rather have a party at The Grey House, with all her loved ones in attendance. And since Jake’s kids, Brandon (Matthew Knight) and Lori (Hannah Endicott-Douglas), are growing up with lives of their own, it might be their last chance to unite as a family for a long time. Meanwhile, Grandpa George’s (Peter MacNeill) new wife Gwen (Libby Lennie) discovers that her prodigal son Drew (Robin Dunne) has returned to Middleton after a five-year absence with plans to get married. When a business deal turns bad, however, it jeopardizes Drew’s impending nuptials and sets him on edge.

Here is a trailer for The Good Witch’s Destiny.

The Hunters

The Hallmark Channel movie The Hunters will debut on October 25 at 8 PM.

This is a modern-day-fairy-tale-adventure adaptation of the Joshua Williamson comic book “Mirror Mirror” (based on the magical mirror from “Snow White”) that will focus on Carter and Jordyn Flynn (Dan Payne from Tower Prep and Michelle Forbes from Battlestar Galactica and The Killing), who aren’t the average mom and dad. For them, a typical workday can take place anywhere in the world, raiding ornate museums and evading pursuing authorities as Hunters, protectors of powerful fairy tale artifacts that are anything but make believe. While they take their jobs seriously, they’re just as concerned about the welfare of their two sons, 21-year old Paxton (Robbie Amell from The Tomorrow People) and 16-year old Tripp (Keenan Tracey from 16 Wishes), who are unaware of their parents’ true line of work.

When Carter and Jordyn disappear after being intercepted by the mysterious Mai during one of their missions, the boys learn the truth about their parents and their lineage from the Flynns’ young assistant Dylan (Alexa Vega from Spy Kids). They turn to old family friend Mason (Victor Garber from Alias) for help but they soon discover that the deceitful Mason is after what the Flynns were trying to protect – an enchanted mirror that has the ability to grant any wish.

Here is a trailer for The Hunters.

Dracula

On October 25, the new NBC thriller Dracula will debut at 10 PM.

It’s the late 19th century and the mysterious Dracula (Jonathan Rhys Meyers from The Tudors) has arrived in London, posing as an American entrepreneur who wants to bring modern science to Victorian society. He’s especially interested in the new technology of electricity, which promises to brighten the night – useful for someone who avoids the sun. But he has another reason for his travels: He hopes to take revenge on those who cursed him with immortality centuries earlier. Everything seems to be going according to plan until he becomes infatuated with a woman who appears to be a reincarnation of his dead wife (Jessica de Gouw from Arrow).

The cast includes Katie McGrath (Merlin), Nonso Anozie (Game of Thrones), Thomas Kretschmann (The River), Victoria Smurfit (Bulletproof Monk), Robert Bathurst (Downton Abbey), Ben Miles (Zen) and Oliver Jackson-Cohen (World Without End).

Unnerved by what they witnessed the night of a party, and besieged by strange and supernatural occurrences, Caleb and Miranda begin to investigate this bizarre town. Their first ally is Ravenswood teen Remy (Britne Oldford), who has a keen insight to the town’s peculiar history and has started connecting some troublesome dots. These five teens have no idea how connected their lives are and the plans that Ravenswood has in store for them.
