An examination into programs on which witches can achieve a fission other programs may not: as a fantasy, why and when is magic used to heal or not heal disabilities? What happens to programs on witches as fantasies of women's empowerment when witches themselves have disabilities? How do women with power and disabilities confound and redefine our understanding of subjectivity? Using American Horror Story, Sabrina, and The Magicians, I argue that while it may take a complete ideological shift to separate some cliches regarding people with disabilities from the horror genre, people with disabilities are depicted fairly in some cases. Furthermore, issues of disabilities often imbricate with gender and race such that they together challenge systemic inequalities.

But during the mid-2010s they began to resurface as leading characters in shows like the immensely popular The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, the Charmed reboot, Salem, American Horror Story: Coven, and the British program, A Discovery of Witches. 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.
