Emily Hampshire was just your average woman living in a small town, until one day, everything changed. She discovered that she had the power to perform magic – she was a witch. At first, Emily was overwhelmed and unsure of how to control her newfound abilities. She sought guidance from others in the witch community, and soon found herself studying under the mentorship of a wise and skilled witch named Morgan. Under Morgan's tutelage, Emily learned the basics of witchcraft – casting spells, brewing potions, and harnessing the elements. She also learned about the importance of balance and energy in her magical practices.
Hampshire is best known for her portrayal of Stevie Budd in the hit comedy series Schitt’s Creek. She currently stars as Rebecca Morgan in the horror series Chapelwaite for Epix. Up next, she will appear in Amazon’s The Rig in a leading role.

‘Schitt’s Creek’ Star Emily Hampshire To Release Debut Graphic Novel
EXCLUSIVE: Schitt’s Creek star Emily Hampshire will release her first graphic novel, Amelia Aierwood: Basic Witch, in partnership with Z2 Comics in August.
Cover debut of Amelia Aierwood: Basic Witch
Co-written by Eliot Rahal (Machine Gun Kelly’s Hotel Diablo, Cheech & Chong’s Chronicles), the graphic novel tells the story of Amelia, the least-favorite daughter of L.A.’s most famous family of witches, the Aierwoods (think the Kardashians of the witch world). She’s a so-so spellcaster who would rather eat Pop-Tarts while listening to murder podcasts than be a reality TV star.
While Amelia’s sisters have all followed in the footsteps of her prominent parents, everything she does is just a little…off-brand. A late bloomer who has yet to find her calling, Amelia uses her powers for mostly mundane things, but even those lead to magical misfires, e.g. the unfashionable witch’s hat that’s permanently stuck to her head.

“Channeling my inner low-key witch into Amelia Aierwood has been a pure joy,” Hampshire tells Deadline in a statement. “Creating a book like this was a dream I didn’t know I had. The talent of the people I’m working with transcended my expectations.”
Added Rahal, “Working with Emily has been a positive throughline, both personally and professionally,” co-writer Eliot Rahal elaborates. “She wants to make something that’s both gentle and silly. It’s heartfelt but off-the-wall. Something for readers young and older working through those big emotions. It’s really been such a joy to be a part of.”
