Grachi is a Spanish-language American fantasy television series written by Mariela Romero, Catharina Ledeboer and Mariana Palos that focuses on the life and love experiences of Graciela "Grachi" Alonso, a teenage witch. It premiered in Nickelodeon Latin America on May 2, 2011. The series stars Isabella Castillo as Grachi, Andrés Mercado as Daniel and Kimberly Dos Ramos as Matilda; also featuring Mauricio Henao, Sol Rodríguez and Lance Dos Ramos in supporting roles.
In June 2011, it was confirmed that the series was renewed for a second season, which began airing on February 27, 2012. The second season features a rogue teen witch named Mía, portrayed by María Gabriela de Faría, and a new rival for Daniel, Leo, portrayed by Willy Martin. In June 2012, the series was renewed for a third and last season of 50 episodes, which aired from March 4, 2012 to May 10, 2013. The third season features two new wizards, Axel (Danilo Carrera) and Manú (Jesús Neyra), while Kimberly Dos Ramos and Lance Dos Ramos, who portrayed Matilda and Chema Román respectively, leave the cast.
In January 2012, the series was dubbed to English and aired through Nickelodeon Philippines. Season 1 aired from January 16, 2012 to April 27, 2012, followed by Season 2 one year later, from May 6, 2013 to September 11, 2013. Season 3 of Grachi is yet to air in the Philippines, but no plans have been made.
In January 2014, Grachi was adapted into the English language as Every Witch Way.
The season centers on Grachi (Isabella Castillo), a witch and a new student in Escolarium. She deals with using her magic and trying to find out how to defeat the Principal (an evil witch who tries to steal the powers of Grachi so she can be the most powerful witch). Grachi also deals with her rival, Matilda (Kimberly Dos Ramos) with whom she fights for the love of Daniel (Andrés Mercado). At the end of the season, Matilda celebrates her 16th birthday at the night of the eclipse while the Principal (Martha Pabon) and Sibilo (William Valdes) plan to steal the powers of Matilda and Grachi. The two girls team up and fight the Principal, turning her into a dog, but losing their powers. Matilda finally realizes that Grachi and Daniel are meant to be together.
