Conclusion
Nickelodeon announced on June 1, 2005, that the show would not have a fifth season. There was no such major reason for such a decision. The directors and producers most probably thought it was the correct time to end. Besides, they also announced the spin-off series, so in a way, the cast changed, but not much of the crew did. The WITS Academy revolves around the character of Andi from Every Witch Way and her friends. The fans bid goodbye to the show with the final episode that aired in July 2015. Emma ends up with Jax and not Daniel in season 4. Every Witch Way is an adaptation of the Latin American telenovela, Grachi. Mia is not a witch but a kanay, a being who has power over the elements. Emma is the Chosen One as she has powers greater than those in her generation which seems to increase as she gets older.
