Paranormal Pick of the Week: Witches of East End Season 1 Finale

One of my new favourite series this year is definitely Witches of East End. Although we don't often get a chance to chat about this one on the podcast, we are both really enjoying it. I'm thrilled Lifetime Canada is not only airing it on TV but also online, which makes it so much easier to catch. I wonder what craziness will be unveiled in the finale, it's sure to be very exciting!

Witches of East End Season 1 Finale
Sunday December 15, 2013 at 10PM ET / 7PM PT on Lifetime Canada

Here is a series description: "Based on Melissa de la Cruz’s best-selling novel, Witches of East End follows Joanna Beauchamp (Julia Ormond) and her two adult daughters Freya (Jenna Dewan-Tatum) and Ingrid (Rachel Boston) whom, unbeknownst to them, are their family’s next generation of witches. Leading ordinary modern day lives in Long Island’s secluded seaside town of East Haven, when Freya becomes engaged to a wealthy newcomer, a series of events forces Joanna to admit to her daughters they are powerful and immortal witches. Mädchen Amick stars as Joanna’s mischievous witch sister Wendy."

We are also happy to share with fans that Witches of East End has been renewed and Season 2 will have 13 episodes that will begin airing in 2014. So exciting!

Also Awesome / Schedule Updates

• Attention Haunted Highway and Killer Contact fans! Both shows are airing twice a week now at Space with new episodes on both Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Now we can get scared even more throughout the week!
• Grimm has 2 episodes airing this week, so be sure to check your local listings and set your PVRs/Tivos and adjust your watching habits accordingly.  Some channels start an hour early, others go an hour later.  We don't want anyone to miss out on the awesomeness of the show, especially as after this it will be on hiatus until the new year.

Ep 149: Paranormal TV Nov 26 - Dec 2, 2013

We are getting into crossover of seasons with this weeks Hexed where we chat the mid-season finale of The Walking Dead, Season 2 Premiere of Haunted Highway, Season 3 Finale of Paranormal Witness, plus our regs of Grimm, Sleepy Hollow, Supernatural and Haven.

Paranormal Pick of the Week: Grimm Season 3 Premiere

We are still getting a fair amount of awesome paranormal TV debuting this week, but with a gut wrenching cliffhanger of the season 2 finale last spring, it's Grimm that gets the honour of being this weeks Paranormal Pick of the Week:



Grimm ~ Season 3 Premiere

If you aren't already a fan of the show, here is a series description to get you a sense of what it's all about:

""Grimm" is a drama series inspired by the classic Grimm Brothers' Fairy Tales. After Portland Homicide Detective Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli, "Turn the Beat Around") discovers he's descended from an elite line of criminal profilers known as "Grimms," he increasingly finds his responsibilities as a detective at odds with his new responsibilities as a "Grimm.""

Also Awesome

• Dracula ~ Series Premiere Friday October 25, 2013 at 10pm ET/PT on Global and NBC. We see a lot of Dracula films over the years, but a Dracula series is a new spin and I'm so looking forward to it as it's a reimagining of the Bram Stoker novel. This British/US co-production stars Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Jessica De Gouw, Katie McGrath, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Nonso Anozie, Victoria Smurfit, Michael Nardone and Thomas Kretschmann; Dracula is scheduled to have 10 episodes.

In the tumultuous fourth season of the hit series, the world of Mystic Falls was turned upside down when the beautiful and compassionate Elena Gilbert came face to face with her worst nightmare -- life as a vampire. While Elena struggled to control her new powers and the overwhelming thirst for blood, the astonishing news that a cure for vampirism may actually exist reached Damon and Stefan Salvatore, the two vampire brothers who love her. Their search for the cure leads the brothers, along with Elena's brother, Jeremy, and her best friends, Bonnie and Caroline, to a horrifying confrontation with the ancient and all-powerful immortal, Silas, who has been entombed with the cure for more than 2,000 years.

But Elena isn't the only vampire who longs to return to life as a human and the question of who will take the cure is resolved in the heart-stopping season finale, along with moments of unexpected joy, unspeakable sorrow and a confession of true love.

Stephen Jameson stands at the crossroads between the world we know and the shifting world of the future. Up until a year ago, Stephen was a “normal” teenager — until he began hearing voices and teleporting in his sleep, never knowing where he might wake up. Now, Stephen’s issues have gone far beyond the usual teenage angst, and he is beginning to question his sanity. In desperation, Stephen decides to listen to one of the voices in his head, and it leads him to his first encounter with the Tomorrow People — John, Cara and Russell — a genetically advanced race with the abilities of telekinesis, teleportation and telepathic communication.

The Tomorrow People are being hunted down by a paramilitary group of scientists known as Ultra. Led by Dr. Jedikiah Price, Ultra sees the Tomorrow People as a very real existential threat from a rival species, and the outcast group has been forced to hide out in an abandoned subway station just beneath the surface of the human world. Trading in secrets, Jedikiah offers Stephen the chance for a normal life with his family and best friend, Astrid, if he will help in the struggle to isolate and eradicate the Tomorrow People."

The Tomorrow People is a US revival of a British TV show from the 1970's; this new version stars Robbie Amell, Luke Mitchell, Peyton List, Aaron Yoo, Madeleine Mantock and Mark Pellegrino.

Determined to deliver justice to those who have corrupted his city, Oliver (aka The Hood) -- with the help of tech-savvy Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards) and his iron-fisted right hand, John Diggle (David Ramsey) -- narrowly averts the rich and powerful “undertaking” to cleanse the city of its most desperate citizens."

Thursday October 10, 2013 at 8pm ET/PV on CityTV and ABC

Genre: Fantasy

Season/Series description: "In Victorian England, the young and beautiful Alice tells a tale of a strange new land that exists on the other side of a rabbit hole. An invisible cat, a hookah-smoking caterpillar, and playing cards that talk are just some of the fantastic things she’s seen during this impossible adventure. Surely this troubled girl must be insane, and her doctors aim to cure her with a treatment that will make her forget everything.

Alice seems ready to put it all behind her, especially the painful memory of the genie she fell in love with and lost forever — the handsome and mysterious Cyrus. But deep down, Alice knows this world is real and, just in the nick of time, the sardonic Knave of Hearts and the irrepressible White Rabbit arrive to save her from a doomed fate. Together the trio will take a tumble down the rabbit hole to this Wonderland where nothing is impossible."

Once Upon a Time in Wonderland is a spin off of Once Upon a Time and will star Sophie Lowe, Michael Socha, Peter Gadiot, Emma Rigby, John Lithgow, Jonny Coyne, Naveen Andrews, Keith David and Iggy Pop; its first season will have 13+ episodes.
