Creators
The show was created by Dana Terrace, who also served as executive producer. In an interview with the Hartford Courant, she spoke about coming up with the original concept. "I remember coming up with the baseline of the show: A girl goes to demon realm to learn how to be a witch from an older witch. I showed it to a writing partner, who said ‘That’s a horrible idea. No one will ever watch that’,” she said. “I made a pitch out of spite and started pitching studios. Disney picked it up."
