"A Lying Witch and a Warden" is the series premiere of the American animated television series The Owl House. In the episode, Luz Noceda, a 14-year-old Afro-Dominican-American girl known for being unpredictable and troublesome, accidentally stumbles upon a portal to the Demon Realm, where she arrives at the Boiling Isles, an archipelago. To help get home to her own world, she is enlisted as the helper of rebellious witch Eda Clawthorne.
The episode premiered on January 10, 2020 on Disney Channel and garnered 0.61 million viewers when it premiered, receiving a mixed reception from audiences.[1] The episode's title is a word play on the title of the C. S. Lewis novel The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, which also features a girl who discovers an unassuming portal into a parallel fantasy world.
