H. Ho\u003c\/b\u003e (Editor)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter \u003ci\u003eCharmed\u003c\/i\u003e ended in 2006, witches were relegated to sidekicks of televisual vampires or children's programs. But during the mid-2010s they began to resurface as leading characters in shows like the immensely popular \u003ci\u003eThe Chilling Adventures of Sabrina\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eCharmed\u003c\/i\u003e reboot, \u003ci\u003eSalem, American Horror Story: Coven\u003c\/i\u003e, and the British program, \u003ci\u003eA Discovery of Witches\u003c\/i\u003e. No longer sweet, feminine, domestic, and white, these witches are powerful, diverse, and transgressive, representing an intersectional third-wave feminist vision of the witch. Featuring original essays from noted scholars, this is the first critical collection to examine witches on television from the late 2010s. Situated in the aftermath of the #MeToo movement, essays examine the reemergence and shifting identities of TV witches through the perspectives of intersectional gender studies, hauntology, politics, morality, monstrosity, violence, queerness, disabilities, rape, ecofeminism, linguistics, family, and digital humanities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAssistant professor \u003cb\u003eAaron K.H.
