Then they get another huge shock: they have an older sister, brilliant geneticist Macy (Madeleine Mantock, The Tomorrow People), whom their mother kept a secret all these years. With the emotions of the newly-reunited sisters running high, each of the girls suddenly exhibit impossible new abilities. Don’t worry, there’s a perfectly reasonable explanation - or so says Harry Greenwood when he gathers the three sisters together to reveal they’re actually powerful witches, as was their mother. It’s a lot to take in, but ultimately the sisters accept their new destiny as The Charmed Ones, and their new duty to protect humankind from the demons that walk among us.

Brand new seasons of returning series on W Network this fall include: Outlander, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and The Good Fight.

Go Away Unicorn (52x11min) September 2018 Canadian Original, Canadian Broadcast Premiere Go Away, Unicorn! follows the adventures of Alice, a little girl with many interests – music, art, literature, and Bolivian stick fighting. One day, at Alice's birthday party, a real live unicorn shows up and declares himself her new best friend! And while one would assume that any little girl would be thrilled, Alice is not. Partly because he is not on the schedule, but mostly because Alice isn't interested in unicorns. And while Alice may try to avoid Unicorn, he always shows up, and sometimes throws up (It's hard to stop eating cake.), prompting Alice to shout, “GO AWAY, UNICORN!”
