Lilly the Witch (also known as Lilly in the UK) is an animated television show based on the Lilli the Witch book series by the German author Knister. The first season debuted on TVOKids in Canada on 4 September 2004, and later premiered on KiKA in Germany one month later.[2] The second season debuted in 2007 in both languages as well. The third season was broadcast only in German and featured a different animation style.

Lilly the Witch was produced by Trixter Productions in Germany, Vivatoon (Hector) Inc. in Canada, Magma Films in Ireland, and Endemol France in France for the first two seasons. 7 years after the second season was released, a third season of the series premiered on 26 September 2014 in Germany and France.[2] The third season was produced by Trixter Entertainment in Germany, Dor Film in Austria, AT-Anim in Belgium, and Marathon Media in France,[3] with co-producer credits given to Westdeutscher Rundfunk, ARD, and Trixter Productions in Germany, ORF in Austria, and Umedia in Belgium. As the first two seasons had a simplified animation style using traditional cel animation, this new season used a more detailed digital animation style using Flash animation. The crew of the series was mostly changed due to the studio switches, and Lilly's new design is much closer to the original books.
