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 142 Paranormal TV Oct 1 - 7, 2013

• This week on Hexed Suzie and Shannon tackle the series premieres of The Witches of East End and The Originals; and it gets pretty crazy as we both aren't continuing to watch both of them! We also check in on the Season 5 premiere of Vampire Diaries, check in on Sleepy Hollow, Ghost Mine, Face Off, Paranormal Witness, Fangasm and Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

• With there being so many shows (and more coming down the pipe!) it's challenging to get everything in. But we do, for now!

• Next Week we take a week off for Shannon's move or we might be back with a quick episode. Either way, the next time we'll chat the Season 9 premiere of Supernatural, Season 4 of The Walking Dead, check in on our new regs. We also may implement a rating system to decide which of the oodles of shows to chat about.

Show Notes:

• Sleepy Hollow renewed for S2
• Witches of East End is online at Lifetime Canada site (select show from options on the left)
• Witches of East End breaks ratings records "Lifetime's series premiere of Witches of East End cast a spell on TV viewers across the country last night" and " Lifetime's number one series premiere and the number one specialty drama of the night"

• The Listener renewed for a fifth season

Paranormal Picks of the Week: Series Premieres of The Originals and Witches of East End

This week is when we start to see The CW roll out it's TV season including the new series The Originals which was picked up by CHCH (Thank you CHCH!). I would have loved to include The Vampire Diaries as a double bill night of vampire awesomeness with our pick of the week, but the Canadian airing on CTV Two doesn't happen until Sundays at 8pm.  If you happen to get The CW, you can watch them back to back. On a happier note, we will be getting Beauty and the Beast a day early, it's second season begins this Sunday Oct 6, 2013 on Showcase. 

It was too hard to choose which (or witch) show to be this weeks Paranormal Pick of the Week with this week so I decided to included both new series of The Originals and Witches of East End which we just recently found out will be airing on Lifetime Canada.  Have a blessed TV Week!

The Originals - Series Premiere
Thursday Oct 3, 2013 at 9pm on CHCH and The CW *

Here is a little bit about The Originals: "An offshoot of The Vampire Diaries, The Originals centers on the Mikaelson siblings, otherwise known as the world’s original vampires: Klaus (Joseph Morgan), Elijah (Daniel Gillies), and Rebekah (Claire Holt).

The Original Vampire family pledge to remain together, but now their bonds of family are broken and Klaus reacts to an anonymous tip that someone is plotting against the family in the place they helped build, New Orleans."

*Please note it's regular timeslot is Tuesday at 8pm on both CHCH and The CW starting next Tuesday October 8, 2013.

Witches Of East End ~ Series Premiere
Sunday October 6, 2013 at 10pm ET/7pm PT on Lifetime Canada

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.


Also Awesome

• Vampire Diaries Season 5 Premiere Sunday October 6, 2013 at 8pm on CTV Two (also airs Thursday Oct 3, 2013 at 8pm on The CW); it will be interesting to see how the show fairs in this timeslot 3 days after it's US airing and also how things go now that a portion of the cast will be on the spin off series The Originals.  I'm looking forward to some old school Vampire Diaries craziness myself.
• Beauty and the Beast Season 2 Premiere Sunday October 6, 2013 at 8pm on Showcase (also airs Monday Oct 7, 2013 at 9pm on The CW).  This was definitely one of the happy surprizes of 2012 and I always looked forward to the show.  If you haven't watched it yet you can see the whole thing online over at Showcase.ca (or see my spoiler-free episode list here).
• Arrow Season 1 Recap Wednesday October 2, 2013 at 8pm on CTV and The CW; although season 2 of Arrow doesn't start back up until next week we can all take a refresher course with this Season 1 recap episode.
