What’s On Tonight: ‘A Discovery Of Witches’ Conjures Up Magic On Sundance Now

Sundance Now

A Discovery of Witches (Sundance NOW and Shudder) — This British fantasy epic about witches, vampires, and daemons living in the shadows of old Oxford libraries and Venetian palaces makes its way stateside tonight. The show — based on a best-selling series of books — follows a reluctant young witch named Diana Bishop who unearths an ancient alchemy book that may hold the key to the survival of these supernatural beings. That book ends up introducing her to the underground world of “creatures” and a 1,500-year-old vampire she really shouldn’t get involved with. It’s a gripping series that manages to avoid predictable fantasy tropes.
