Winter and the New Year is shaping up to be pretty epic TV-wise, with supernatural show A Discovery of Witches looking to be an exciting watch.
Based on the best-selling book by Deborah Harkness, we follow what happens when a witch and a vampire who are both hiding their true natures meet and fall in love.
And judging by a trailer released ahead of the series, we can expect some pretty spectacular scenes from its Oxford location. Watch the teaser below:
What to Read Next
It stars Teresa Palmer as history professor and closet witch Diana Bishop, and Matthew Goode as geneticist and secret vampire Matthew Clairmont.
Diana and Matthew develop a relationship investigating a strange manuscript found in the University of Oxford's Bodleian Library.
We've had another little glimpse of the show too in Sky's Now & Next trailer, alongside Benedict Cumberbatch's Patrick Melrose and Roman drama Britannia starring David Morrissey and Kelly Reilly – take a look here:
Bad Wolf Productions — headed up by former Doctor Who producers Jane Tranter and Julie Gardner – is behind this adaption of Harkness' novel, with Mr Selfridge, The Forsyte Saga and Bancroft screenwriter Kate Brooke penning the script.
Harkness seems to be happy with how the drama is being adapted, after a first attempt at turning the novel into a feature film for Warner Bros.
She revealed at the casting announcement: "Teresa and Matthew perfectly capture my characters – I'm so excited by the casting and how they will bring the books to life."
A Discovery of Witches starts on Sky One in 2018.
