My Elizabethan Commonplace Book: "I spend my days writing at a furious pace. I only go out to buy materials from Mistress Jacqueline--ink, paper, cuttles to sharpen my pens, and fresh quills. Autumn is a time to harvest thoughts and reflections." #DebsCommonplaceBook #ADOWS2 pic.twitter.com/eOLUgqz7Oe

And so the journey begins....🧙🏻‍♀️🧛🏻‍♀️🧟‍♀️ https://t.co/EoXbFfOFkB

According to Deb in this FB live, filming will begin in June → Facebook Live

The writers room is bubbling with energy and excitement, with a team led by the wonderful Susie Conklin. I haven't seen any scripts (it's a bit early for that!) but I am anticipating they will be marvelous. https://t.co/pCKN6hSfez

2 years ago we were scouting locations for series 1 of @ADiscoveryOfWTV. Yesterday the production team logged 6+ miles around the City of London, talking about their vision for series 2. We took in the Blackfriars, Elizabethan portraits, & more. Stay tuned... #ADOWSeries2 pic.twitter.com/kcCNW1F1Ac
