News Witch Season Witch Season: Julia Bianco’s Contemporary Romantasy Gets Picked Up for TV The novel isn’t even out yet! You can read it starting on June 30, 2026 By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on June 1, 2026 Julia Bianco photo credit: Audrey Steimer Comment 0 Share New Share Julia Bianco photo credit: Audrey Steimer Julia Bianco’s debut novel Witch Season has been picked up for potential television adaptation before it’s even released. Today, Deadline broke the news that Lionsgate Television is developing a show based on the book, which is set to come out via St. Martin’s Press on June 30, 2026.    Here’s the blurb for Witch Season, a contemporary romance fantasy involving sparks flying between two members of different covens: Katherine Barnes is an enforcer, charged with upholding the rules of the notorious Los Angeles-based Aestas coven. It’s her job to maintain order and bring unsettled witches—people who aren’t aware they have magic until it explodes out of them in a catastrophic burst—into the coven’s fold. As a former unsettled witch, Katherine owes her life to Sylvia Page, coven leader and silver-haired rebel who founded Aestas years ago. When Silas Khatri, heir to Noctis, the most powerful coven in the world, arrives to take Aestas to task for some of their more unconventional practices, Katherine’s dislike for him reaches blistering levels. She hates his money, his good looks, his coven’s dangerous attitude towards unsettled witches. She can absolutely overlook that he sets her off in more ways than one. But a powerful threat is about to rise. Stronger than any one coven. More insidious than the decades-long power struggle that exists in the hidden witch world. One that will pull Katherine and Silas together despite their differences. And one that will lead to an all-out war. Bianco, who is currently in a writers’ room for an undisclosed series, will pen the adaptation and is on board the Lionsgate TV project as an executive producer. The project doesn’t have a showrunner attached yet, and no news on casting or if/when/where the show will make it to production.
