A Discovery of Witches TV
News on the television adaptation of the All Souls Trilogy
#BehindTheScenes
One of my favorite #behindthescenes pictures. @aiysha_hart in a quiet moment between takes while filming @adiscoveryofwitchestv series 1.
Welcome Peter McDonald
Final Season 3 announcement. Please welcome @pdlmcd to the All Souls family!
From A Discovery of Witches tv: Due to scheduling conflicts arising from COVID-19, the wonderful Trystan Gravelle was unable to continue as Baldwin Montclair for season 3. However, he has handed the baton to the fantastic Peter McDonald (@pdlmcd) who we know you’ll love as Baldwin Montclair.
Welcome Genesis Lynea to the All Souls family
She will be breathing life into Marcus’s vampire daughter Geraldine, who came to New Orleans with a traveling circus and was famous for her acrobatic skill and ability to swing from trapezes (and balconies on Bourbon Street). For those of you who think she is a new character, think again. Geraldine is mentioned in the books and Genesis brilliantly captures her courage and resilience. ♥️
Welcome to the All Souls family Ivanno Jeremiah
He will be playing Chris Roberts–our honest, brilliant, and open-minded hero–in Series 3 of A Discovery of Witches TV. Can’t wait until you see the sparks fly between him and Matthew. Miriam, too. ♥️
Welcome to the All Souls family, Parker Sawyers
It’s the NOLA vampires’ turn today. Meet Marcus’s son and Domino Club boss Ransome! You are in for a treat with @parkersawyers‘ performance in series 3 of A Discovery of Witches TV! ♥️
Here’s Jack! Welcome, Toby Regbo
Played by the talented @tobyregbo who not only can act–he can draw, too. Follow him to see his work and welcome him to the All Souls family!! ♥️
Coming to your screens in A Discovery of Witches TV series 3.
Olivier Huband is our Fernando
Please welcome @olivierhuband to the All Souls family. He will be your beloved Fernando in series 3 of A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES tv.
PS. He speaks Portuguese. For real. ♥️
And that’s a final wrap.
The last scene of A Discovery of Witches tv with actors was shot and finished this Wednesday (3 February). Snow and all. What a year. Thanks to cast and crew for this amazing journey. A special shout out to @teresapalmer and Matthew Goode. It began with YOU.

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! ♥️

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

Learn More About the TV Series
Jane and Bad Wolf represent my dream team for bringing the trilogy to life. Every conversation we have had about the books shows how thoroughly they understand the All Souls World and how deeply they’re committed to creating something very special with this series.A glance at the projects they’ve been involved with—including the reboot of Dr. Who, Life on Mars, Waking the Dead, MI5/Spooks, Torchwood, David Copperfield, Silent Witness, Ashes to Ashes, The Way We Live Now, and Rome—makes it clear that they are drawn to compelling characters and storylines with twists that keep viewers tuning in for each new episode.
