A Discovery of Witches TV News - A Recap of What Happened in 2018!

The premiere! It happened! From Wales Online
Well fellow fans, since season/series 1 is in the can, we will put this page away, but feel free to click away, feel the feels, and live the moments! Last updated 13 September 2018; Interested in what's going on in book news? Here it is: All Souls Book News

From A Discovery of Witches TV on IG & Twitter:


Deb on the red carpet!
THE PREMIERE OF A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES! Aww! We didn't go! What with receiving the invitations within two weeks of the event, expired passports, and crazy schedules, we couldn't quite pull it off this time (thank you for thinking of us!) -- however, NO FEAR! Our friends from All Souls Con and The Tenth Knot went, and represented the fans wonderfully! Follow them on Twitter: @AllSoulsCon & @TheTenthKnotnet and Instagram: All Souls Con on IG, and The Tenth Knot on IG to see their first-hand view of the night, and the following day at Oxford! Of course, you can also find overall broad coverage on our platforms: Daemons' Instagram and Daemons' Twitter -- and make sure you check out A Discovery of Witches TV on Instagram!

----------
It seems the A Discovery of Witches TV thing is really happening! We've been riding this roller coaster for a quite a while. First, it was Warner Bros. in 2012 (to possibly translate the trilogy to film), then ... sad trombone! That didn't happen. But hope remained alive!

Deep in our heart of hearts we knew that the possibility of watching actors play our beloved characters on the small screen was in works. Then we got news that the BBC was going to take it on in 2015, to later, Bad Wolf embracing the project! Yes, we've been told over and over again that this was happening, but now we have tons of visual evidence! Cue fan girl scream: AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

* Formal Announcements can be found here in these Instagram/FB Posts:

This is really happening! This scene was shared by @discoveryofwitchestv (via IG story); the first of many to floor us!
We begin our recap with the picture above; the first heart-stopping photograph of a scene so many of us pictured in our heads while reading the books. To see actual actors bring it to life, though? Excuse us, we find ourselves speechless!

Edward Bluemel (cast as Marcus) getting ready for a scene with his TV dad, Matthew Goode (shared by @ADiscoveryOfWitchesTV on Twitter)
Apparently, everything is going as planned! Or it appears as though it is, so we remain optimists! Thanks goes to the crew over at A Discovery of Witches TV and Deb for keeping us updated! So now we can all rest our heads at night with visions of seeing Diana and Matthew on our various screens in the near future! The UK will air this series Autumn of 2018, the US will have it available early 2019.

* So, let's start with the cast:
