Fiji, you might want to start stocking up on sage and matches.

Trace Lysette (Transparent) will guest-star in "Midnight, Texas" Season 2 as a dark witch bearing a shocker for the town’s resident good witch, TVLine has learned exclusively.



Celeste is described as stunningly attractive in a too-much-is-never-enough way.

She loves designer labels and would fit in nicely with any of Bravo’s Real Housewives, and when she arrives on Fiji’s doorstep in Episode 5, she delivers a huge announcement.

It won’t be long into "Midnight, Texas‘" upcoming Season 2 before we learn that Fiji is anything but a basic witch.

Co-showrunners Nicole Snyder and Eric Charmelo tell TVLine that "Transparent" actress Trace Lysette’s Episode 5 guest-starring stint as dark witch Celeste a will kick off “a big storyline involving witches and the origin of witches on our show, which we didn’t explore last season.”




At the center of the story: Fiji’s genealogy, which goes way beyond Aunt Mildred’s mystical ways.

“We’ll learn more about the origin of light witches and dark witches, and Trace is our first introduction to that,” Snyder explains, adding that Celeste will introduce the idea that not all witches are cut from the same magic cloth.

“They either come from a lineage of light witches or a lineage of dark witches, and Fiji is a little surprised by where she comes from.”




And, per Charmelo, the relationship between the two types of spellcasters is a historically adversarial one.

"Midnight, Texas" returns on Friday, Oct. 26 (9/8c, NBC).
