Suffice it to say, Rachel Boston’s real-life family (who hail from Tennessee) is very different from her on-screen relations in the new Lifetime series Witches of East End, premiering Sunday, October 6 at 10/9c.

The show revolves around a family of women who, unbeknownst to the two daughters, are witches. Rachel plays quiet librarian Ingrid Beauchamp, whose life is turned upside down when she learns her family’s secret.
“It was amazing how quickly we started to feel like a real family,” she says of her costars. “I love working with Julia Ormond, Jenna Dewan Tatum and Madchen Amick, which makes going to work every day even more fun. Each person has a very unique voice on the show and to come together to tell this story about magic has been absolutely wonderful.”

Even though magic plays a huge part in the series, Rachel says the relationship between the women is a grounding force.
“The Beauchamp family represents hope, love, and support,” she explains. “So through all the magical journeys and explorations of witchcraft, at the end of the day we return to the heart.”
