The seven-part drama series
Sanctuary: A Witch’s Tale, which was adapted from the novel by V.V. James, premieres January 4th on AMC+ and Sundance Now. The series is set in a contemporary world where witches are real. In the town of Sanctuary, witches now live happily among the people and have been accepted.
When teen rugby star Dan Whithall (Max Lohan) tragically dies, it causes fear and suspicion among the town of Sarah Fenn (Elaine Cassidy), the town’s witch, and her daughter, Harper (Hazel Doupe). Abigail (Amy De Bhrún), Dan’s mother, who was once Sarah’s closest friend and member of her coven, filled with grief and wanting to avenger her son’s death, seeks justice that sparks a modern-day witch-hunt. DCI Maggie Knight (Stephanie Levi-John), an outsider, is brought in to investigate Dan’s death.
De Bhrún, Doupe, and Lev-John recently spoke with the media about working on the new series.
