There's never been a shortage of witches and witchcraft on television, from Charmed to American Horror Story: Coven — even Hallmark Channel got into the fun with Good Witch — but Sanctuary: A Witch's Tale is a refreshing new series that features less witchcraft and more crime drama in a surprisingly human story.
Witches are no stranger to Sundance Now's parent company, AMC Networks, which boasts both A Discovery of Witches and Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches in its stable of dramas, which also includes zombies and vampires. Though Sanctuary: A Witch’s Tale stands on its own two feet because unlike ADOW and Mayfair Witches, Sanctuary's witches live openly in a world that accepts witchcraft — albeit begrudgingly, in some cases. Ironically, Sanctuary is more similar to The Walking Dead in the sense the real evil in the world has nothing to do with magic or zombies — it's other people.
