Synopsis/Details
THE VITCHES takes place in modern London, and there is a different species, much like humankind but with special abilities – the witchkind. In this world, a witch unlocks their powers by feeling an immense emotion, be it positive or negative. However, along with their getting these new abilities, they also invite danger to their life. A mysterious organization, called The Immolators, have been killing off witches for years, and nowhere is safe for those who were born a witch. Too many witches have suffered for something that is not even their choice. Now is the time to fight back. This story explores themes of accepting who you are, as well as the themes of sacrifice, family, and trust.
EPISODE ONE: When Brigitte celebrates her twenty-first birthday with her best friend Gracie, she accidentally murders a stranger with nothing but a word. A small coven of the last surviving witches, who call themselves ‘The Vitches’, take her in and protect her from the Immolators, a mysterious organization whose sole mission is to kill all witches, thus erasing every trace of magic on Earth. Meanwhile, Gracie is left to fend for herself, with the Immolators on her trail.
