Plot
Season 1
14-year-old Emma Alonso moves with her father to the suburbs of Miami, Florida, where she learns that she is the "Chosen One", a witch who is said to have great powers and abilities.
While befriending the Sharks, Iridium High's swim team, she becomes enemies with Maddie and the Panthers, a trio of the school's three most popular girls. Emma barely makes it through the school year with the help of Lily, the school nurse/Emma's guardian, Andi Cruz, her best friend, Daniel Miller, a mutual crush, and the rest of the Sharks. There are obstacles along the way, including Maddie Van Pelt. She's also a newly profound witch and Daniel's ex-girlfriend who wants to get back together. Again. The biggest hurdle though, is the principal. She is a witch, too, but she's malicious. During the upcoming eclipse, she plans on taking Emma's powers, but fails, after Maddie and Emma join forces, despite there differences, and destroy her, while using the Hexoren: Book of Spells.
In the end, Daniel and Emma become a couple, but that's not it. While defeating the principal, both witches think they lose their powers, but, in reality, Emma Alonso still has them.
Season 2'
It's a new year at Iridium High. Things are about to get mixed up.
The Witches' Council, the head of the witch/wizard world, has come to tell Emma that she cannot date Daniel, for the only way she can is to give up her power and become human, as her mother did. But because of her title as the "Chosen One", she cannot do that, but at the same time she refuses to go in the other direction.
Maddie is still Maddie, but she refuses to accept that she doesn't have her powers anymore. Sofie and Katie, the other Panthers, with the help of Diego, a Churi Kanay (someone who has powers over the four elements), try to help make her believe that she still has her powers. The only reason e does this is in hopes that she will notice him more. The truth is, that, her mother, Ursula Van Pelt, received the powers and is using them in attempt to make Francisco, Emma's father, fall in love with her.
Jax Novoa, an exchange student from Sydney, Australia, who also so happens to be a wizard, is the school's newest heartthrob. Francisco Alonso, has been promoted to principal and assigns his daughter to help show Jax around. While doing so, she has no suspicions that he is a wizard, but she learns soon after about his wizardry when he sends a text to Emma through what looks like Daniel's phone. He admits to his powers, with no questions asked. Andi and Daniel are suspicious of him, and they have every reason to be. Jax who has a mysterious past, shuts everyone out, who always has a trick up his sleeve, with a big heart for Emma, obviously starts to have feelings for the witch. This worries Daniel. While almost everyone sees his bad side, Emma sees his vulnerable side and slowly starts to fall for him too.
Then there's the Fool Moon. It's a moon that occurs every twenty years and causes a witch or wizard's powers to act oddly. With it's effects, strange things start to happen...

Reception
The premiere episode had an estimated 2.1 million viewers.[10] The second episode drew 2.9 million viewers, giving a large increase in audience.[11]
After a few episodes, Emily Ashby of Common Sense Media gave the show 2 stars,[12] saying that Every Witch Way "devotes too much time and energy to Maddie's superficiality and spite to be considered a likable choice for this impressionable age group. And since none of Maddie's actions ever land her in hot water she can't work a spell to escape, kids never see her learn a lesson." She also notes it "suffers from some subpar acting and a low-budget look and feel, and the absence of even a laugh track", leaving it "unusually flat for a tween sitcom. And without the bells and whistles kids tend to like in their entertainment, there's nothing to distract them from the excessive superficiality and pettiness that plague many of the central characters". The season one finale on January 30, 2014 had 2.6 million viewers,[13] while the first season had a total average of 2.166 million viewers. It was also the most viewed by kids between 4 and 11 years old.[14]
