The young actors’ outstanding performances turned the show into a phenomenon, particularly among Spanish-speaking audiences. Their flawless depictions of the plot’s blend of friendship, rivalry, romance, comedy, and magic, with engaging drama, created a rich narrative suitable for all ages.
After over 10 years since the grand finale, the hit Nickelodeon Latin America fantasy series still resonates with viewers of all ages. Grachi won numerous awards, including three Kids’ Choice Awards México in its debut year. The show’s compelling storyline about the adventures of a young witch was adapted into Every Witch Way in America. Despite its engaging plot, the remarkable Grachi cast played a huge role in making the show known, and many of them went ahead to have successful careers in different parts of the entertainment industry.
Isabella Castillo (Grachi Alonso)
Born on December 23, 1994, Isabella Castillo was a teenager when she was cast as the protagonist on Grachi. Her character is a teenage witch who finds herself on the path of learning to cope with moving to a new city and discovering she’s a powerful witch.

Andrés Mercado (Daniel Esquivel)
One of the oldest on the Grachi cast list, Andrés Mercado played the title character’s love interest. Daniel is kind and athletic, a real catch who often gets entangled in conflicts around him.
