About A Discovery of Witches TV Show

Adapted from Deborah Harkness' best-selling trilogy of novels, A Discovery of Witches is a bold and romantic thriller that uncovers a secret underworld of extraordinary beings hiding in plain sight for fear of persecution by humans - they are vampires, witches and daemons. Brilliant historian Diana Bishop is a witch denying her own heritage. But when she unexpectedly calls up an ancient, bewitched manuscript from Oxford's Bodleian library, one that was thought by the creatures to be lost and could answer the mysteries of their existence, she finds herself thrown into the heart of a dangerous mystery - and into the path of the enigmatic geneticist and vampire Matthew Clairmont. Matthew is driven to solve the looming threat of the creatures' decline and extinction, but their unlikely alliance to find the book before it falls into the wrong hands and their deepening relationship - threatens to violate age-old taboos and shake the fragile peace that exists between the species. A second and third season of A Discovery of Witches are on the way after the first bewitched nearly two million fans. Adapted from Deborah Harkness’s bestselling All Souls trilogy, the Sky original production, which launched in September and was produced by Bad Wolf, was the biggest drama on Sky One this year. Seasons two and three will be returning to the channel and NOW TV, bringing to life the remaining stories from the trilogy. Anne Mensah, Sky’s head of drama, said: “Season one was a brilliant introduction to the All Souls world and the love story between Diana and Matthew. We can’t wait for the show’s fans to continue the journey with seasons two and three, become more enchanted by the characters and watch the magic further unfold.” A Discovery of Witches is a modern-day love story, set in a world where witches, vampires and daemons secretly live and work alongside humans, hidden in plain sight. In the second season, Matthew (Matthew Goode, Downton Abbey) and Diana (Teresa Palmer, Hacksaw Ridge) are hiding in time in the fascinating and treacherous world of Elizabethan London - here they must find a powerful witch teacher to help Diana control her magic and search for the elusive Book of Life. Back in the present day, Diana’s beloved aunts, Sarah and Em, must take shelter with notorious witchhunter Ysabeau de Clermont at her ancestral home, Sept-Tours. Meanwhile, in Oxford, Marcus and Miriam take on Matthew’s mantle to protect daemons Nathaniel and Sophie, whose pregnancy is advancing. And Gerbert, Knox, Satu and Domenico are determined to hunt down every clue they can to Diana’s and Matthew’s disappearance, and the secrets their allies are keeping from them. Jane Tranter, Executive Producer, Bad Wolf, added: “We were absolutely thrilled that A Discovery of Witches was such a hit with viewers. There was a real sense of community throughout the run as fans old and new joined together to watch each week. We cannot wait to continue the journey with them and, as the show continues to sell around the world, expanding the global fanbase for these engaging and fascinating characters.” Deborah Harkness, Author and Executive Producer, added: "Given how warmly the first season was received, I'm thrilled that we will continue with the story of the All Souls Trilogy for two more seasons. There is so much to look forward to as we travel into Matthew's past and delve further into the mysteries surrounding Diana's power and Ashmole 782." Season two will also see the return of Owen Teale (Game of Thrones), Alex Kingston (Doctor Who), Lindsay Duncan (The Honourable Woman), Valarie Pettiford (Half & Half), Edward Bluemel (The Commuter), Aiysha Hart (Line of Duty), Trevor Eve (Waking the Dead), Malin Buska (The Girl King) and Gregg Chillin (Being Human). Made by Bad Wolf Limited, A Discovery of Witches season two will be written by Sarah Dollard (Doctor Who, Being Human) and Susie Conklin (The Musketeers, Cranford), who will also serve as an Executive Producer alongside co-founders of Bad Wolf, Jane Tranter and Julie Gardner, and Lachlan MacKinnon along with Deborah Harkness. A Discovery of Witches was commissioned for Sky One by Sky’s head of drama Anne Mensah. The series is co-funded and distributed internationally by Sky Vision.

Anna Curry says

But why cancel!!!???? So sad, it's such a great story with so many possibilities. So 😔

Sandra E Crabb says

There's a 4th book there should be a 4th season

C. Mosqueda says

It is so for between good witches series, and it is so exciting when one finally comes out. They just never last long and it is very disappointing. So, If you don't continue this series at least consider a spin-off.

Marion says

This is not a cancellation. There are only 3 books about Diana and Matthew. The “fourth” is the story of Marcus and Phoebe. It’s a nice book on it’s own but it’s not a fourth season.

Louise says

There are only three books in the All Souls Trilogy, hence why there are only three seasons. Its a trilogy!

Victoria says

Unbelievable. Cannot believe this has been cancelled. What a waste. The acting and story lines were exceptional and the possibilities to new storylines were an absolute. You’ve cancelled this but carried on some utter rubbish! Annoying!

Ann Evans says

Please reconsider Season 4 Times Covenant. Its a wonderful way to acquainted with Marcus and Phoebe. While they are the main characters the rest of the family are not left out. Times Covenant is a must read after Discovery of Witches Trilogy as it is the fourth book in the series. Without a Season 4 the series will be left incomplete.

Ashlie says

Not canceled. They don't want to go past the source material of the books so they decided to end it on their own. There are only three books so they made three seasons. Thats what they told American viewers.

Judith hull says

Really does my head on when this happens. We’ve gone through three seasons but now can’t watch the very last one!! 😡. So so annoying 😡😡 and a huge let down 😡

Mona Lisa Watkins says

All I can say Why would you produce a series and end the way it did honestly very disappointed ! You could have stopped season 3 from showing at the end of previews of what is to come so upset with this I do hope to see season four
