Advance Preview: A Discovery of Witches Comes to the US

Published: Thursday, 17 January 2019 | Written by SciFi Vision

Today marks the US debut of the series A Discovery of Witches, based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Deborah Harkness.

In a world where witches, vampires, and demons live secretly among humans, the series follows historian Diana Bishop (Teresa Palmer), a witch who denies her magical heritage, refusing to use magic. However, not always in control, when she accidentally uses her magic to retrieve a manuscript in Oxford’s Bodleian Library that has long been lost, her world is turned upside down. She is approached by vampire Matthew Clairmont (Matthew Goode), who has been looking for the book for over a century, as it may contain secrets to his heritage. He tells her that other creatures will be looking for it as well and she is not safe. Witches don’t trust vampires, but can she trust this intriguing man, and can he protect her from not only other creatures, but also others of her own kind and help her separate the truths from the lies?

Published: Tuesday, 01 January 2019 | Written by SciFi Vision

As the New Year begins, Team TARDIS discovers that something has been buried on earth since the ninth century, and it’s awake. The Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) calls it the most “dangerous creature in the universe.” Can they stop it before it takes control of the whole planet?

Holiday episodes for the show are always special, and although this didn’t have quite the same holiday spirit, being for New Year’s Day rather than Christmas, the episode, written by Chris Chibnall, still had the same flair, as the new year brings back an old foe.
