Sometimes our Supporting Artists are given characters straight out of the pages of history, like this one. He is representing Abd el-Ouahed ben Messaoud, the Moroccan ambassador to Elizabeth I. We cheated a bit—the ambassador arrived in 1600 and his portrait was painted to commemorate the event. But Elizabethan England was a culturally diverse place, and London and the court had many foreign residents. We couldn’t resist changing history a little bit! #behindthescenes with @adiscoveryofwitchestv #ADOWS2

“As a character, and as a witch, Diana is complex and conflicted, intelligent and powerful. She is the witch we need in 2018. It’s no surprise that women are drawn to her, and revel in the idea of harnessing their own ‘super’ powers to achieve their true potential.” Huge props to @teresapalmer for bringing Diana to life in all her complexity! ♥️

This is the still room, Sarah’s lair, and @valariepettiford and @alexkingstonofficial put in plenty of personal touches to make the space their own and especially witchy.

Today’s #witchgiving gives props to the props!! We had an amazing art department, with geniuses in scene design, set dressing, and making props that were perfect down to the last detail.

Screen Shot 2019-08-29 at 4.32.50 PM

Verified Today’s #witchgiving #behindthescenes shot is one I took when we were filming at the Bishop House set. It captures one of our actors, @danielezra who plays Nathaniel Wilson, in a moment of quiet repose. Sets are busy places and amidst the hustle and bustle quiet places are hard to find. Somehow, the actors manage to carve places out for reflection and thinking, al of which helps to create the space they need to deliver a tremendous performance
