A Discovery of Witches star Adelle Leonce has discussed whether there is a possibility for her character Phoebe to have a spin-off series with love interest Marcus.

Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy, Leonce said she would absolutely love to do a spin-off with Marcus actor Edward Bluemel.

She said: "I love Ed Bluemel and we have an absolute hoot together. So, that anyway is really important because you've got to like the people you work with."

"Absolutely, of course I would [do a spin-off]. You know, it is the final series. But if anything did happen, hey, call me.

A Discovery of Witches is ending after season three, following the course of the three original books by author Deborah Harkness.

The showrunners are sticking faithfully to the source material, but the likelihood of a spin-off is higher than ever as Harkness did write a fourth book called Time's Convert, which moves the focus to Marcus and Phoebe instead of Matthew Clairemont (Matthew Goode) and Diana Bishop (Teresa Palmer).

The fourth book sees the pair living in contemporary times and follows Phoebe's transformation into a vampire.

Though Sky and the showrunners have not said whether there will be a spin-off following Harkness' fourth book and continuing with Phoebe and Marcus' relationship, it is clear that Leonce wouldn't say no – and neither would fans.

Leonce added: "It's an amazing show to be a part of – the fans are incredible. They're so giving. I really appreciate that as an actor coming in halfway."

She also said that it was a "sad moment" on set when they realised that the show would be ending.

Her co-star Bleumel has previously expressed interest in a spin-off too, telling Good Housekeeping UK: "Of course, it would be so fun [to have a spin-off] – and an opportunity especially to see the characters of Marcus, Phoebe and Miriam [vampire lab colleague played by Aiysha Hart] develop – because there are big roles for them in Time's Convert."

"It would definitely be something that would pique my interest... but whether it will happen, who knows. We're kept in the dark as actors. Or it could be a season four, it's definitely an option, I'll email the producers now," he quipped.

A Discovery of Witches airs on Sky Max and NOW in the UK, returning on January 7. In the US, it premieres on January 8, airing on AMC+.
