The show - billed as a British version of Buffy the Vampire Slayer - has pulled in ratings of almost 1 million in its Sunday night slot, easily beating all other multichannel offerings.
Crucially, it has also developed a strong cult following and has a core audience amongst key demographics. "Hex has had a huge impact with a dedicated and upmarket audience," a Sky One spokesman told the Media Guardian. "It has really created a buzz and spawned numerous spinoff fansites and chatrooms on the internet."
The first series, which ran for just five episodes, will come to an end this weekend. The second will last for a more sizeable thirteen episodes; filming is due to begin next Spring.
A DVD release is planned for January.
