A Discovery of Witches is brewing a slow-simmer success. The supernatural drama made its commercial television debut last Sunday night on AMC and BBC America (9:00 Pm Et/Pt) with a cast led by Teresa Palmer (Hacksaw Ridge), Matthew Goode (Downton Abbey), Alex Kingston (Doctor Who), Valarie Pettiford (Being Mary Jane), and Owen Teale (Game of Thrones). After his Emmy nomination last year for The Crown, Goode might rank as the most illustrious name from the show’s ensemble but make no mistake: A Discovery Of Witches is a television adaptation that echoes with the female voice in every phase.
A Discovery of Witches was adapted to screen for Sky 1 in the UK by writer Kate Brooke (Mr. Selfridge), who also serves as executive producer. The other EPs include two Doctor Who veterans, Jane Tranter and Julie Gardner, as well as author Deborah Harkness, whose All Souls trilogy is the...
