We’ve been waiting so patiently for season two of ‘A Discovery of Witches’! Find out where and how you can watch the new season here!
A Discovery of Witches is so good! I fell head over heels for Matthew and Diana’s love story in season one. I’ve never read the books, so I was completely unprepared for them to go back in time at the end of season one. I was internally freaking out, to be honest. I love romance. I love historical romance. I adore time travel. All three of my favorite things in the one series, and minus the angst of Outlander? Y’all, I was in heaven just thinking about it.
Plus, have you seen the way Matthew looks at Diana? **fans self** It’s intense!
As the series premieres its first episode tomorrow, January 9th, it’s time for a refresher of where we’ve been and a look to where we’re going!
Season two will be 10 episodes, and follow Diana and Matthew as they navigate Elizabethan England! You can read this fantastic post about what we’re most looking forward to in Season Two HERE!
Featuring stunning lead performances from Teresa Palmer (Hacksaw Ridge) and Matthew Goode (Downton Abbey), adapted from Deborah Harkness’ All Souls trilogy, the 10-part second season finds Diana (Teresa Palmer) and Matthew (Matthew Goode) 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.
In Elizabethan London, Diana and Matthew’s romance faces a barrage of new threats. Diana’s unleashed magic takes a dark and frightening turn, while Matthew struggles to re-inhabit the dangerous life he led over four centuries ago. They must overcome deep personal fears and jealousies, bearing their darkest secrets to one another if they are to stay alive, stay together and find a way back to present day.
While Diana and Matthew hide out in Elizabethan London, back in present day, Diana’s beloved aunts, Sarah (Alex Kingston, Doctor Who, ER) and Em (Valarie Pettiford, Half & Half), must take shelter with notorious witch hunter Ysabeau de Clermont (Lindsay Duncan, The Honourable Woman) at her ancestral home, Sept-Tours. Meanwhile, in Oxford, Marcus (Edward Bluemel, Killing Eve) and Miriam (Aiysha Hart, Line of Duty) take on Matthew’s mantle to protect daemons Nathaniel (Daniel Ezra, All American) and Sophie (Aisling Loftus, War & Peace), whose pregnancy is advancing. And Gerbert (Trevor Eve, Waking the Dead), Knox (Owen Teale, Game of Thrones), Satu (Malin Buska, The Girl King) and Domenico (Gregg Chillin, Da Vinci’s Demons) 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.
Also starring James Purefoy (Rome, Pennyworth), Steven Cree (Outlander), and Adelle Leonce (Black Mirror) as new characters introduced in season two. {VIA AMC Networks}
