Witches of East End will be arriving on Lifetime this October 6th at 10pm ET/PT. The dramatic series starring Julia Ormond, Madchen Amick, new mom Jenna Dewan Tatum, and Rachel Boston is inspired by Melissa de la Cruz’s bestseller and marks the network’s second scripted dramatic series to debut this year.
Mark Waters directed the pilot episode with Maggie Friedman scripting and executive producing. The cast also includes Eric Winter, Daniel DiTomasso, Jason George, and Oscar and Virginia Madsen.
The Plot:
Witches of East End centers on the mysterious Beauchamp family: free-spirited artist Joanna (Ormond) and her two grown daughters, wild-child bartender Freya (Dewan Tatum) and shy librarian Ingrid (Boston), both of whom are unaware that they are gifted (and cursed) with a magical birthright. Freya is recently engaged to the man of her dreams, wealthy playboy Dash Gardiner (Winter), but when she finds herself inexplicably drawn to Dash’s troubled, enigmatic brother Killian (DiTomasso), bizarre occurrences begin to manifest in her life.
Meanwhile, Joanna’s long-estranged sister Wendy (Amick) shows up with a warning that could change the Beauchamps’ fate forever, forcing Joanna to reveal to her daughters they are, indeed, immortal witches who possess great untapped powers. With their idyllic small town life now turned upside down, and a formidable and ancient enemy intent on ending the Beauchamp family line, will Freya and Ingrid be able to accept their true potential before it is too late?
