When Does ‘A Discovery Of Witches’ Season 2 Come Out?

“A Discovery Of Witches” Season 1 was only released a week ago, but if you’re already waiting for more Matthew and Diana, you’re in luck. The series will be back.

The TV show’s U.K. broadcaster, Sky, renewed the series last year for both Season 2 and Season 3. Diana Bishop actress Teresa Palmer revealed that she is set to start filming in July.

“They’re starting earlier than me ‘cause I’m having a baby. I think they start in either the end of May or early June, and then I’ll jump in and do my stuff in July, after I give birth to a human,” she told Collider. “It was funny, the reaction of some of the fans, when I announced my pregnancy. Everyone was like, ‘But what does this mean for Season 2?!’ Fear not, it’s still happening!”

So when will “A Discovery of Witches” Season 2 be released? Season 1 finished filming in February 2018, and it took nearly a year for U.S. viewers to see it. Fans are hoping that the wait is a little shorter for Season 2, but a date still hasn’t been announced yet. Still, it seems likely that U.S. viewers will be waiting until 2020 for the TV show to return.

Fans will have to wait to find for Sundance Now and Shudder to announce an official Season 2 release date. U.S. viewers are surely hoping for a premiere date closer to the U.K.’s date this time. Season 1 premiered in September in Great Britain while Americans had to wait until January to watch.

While a Season 2 premiere date hasn’t been announced, a synopsis was released:

In the second season, Matthew (Matthew Goode) and Diana are hiding in time in the fascinating and treacherous world of Elizabethan London - here they must find a powerful witch teacher to help Diana control her magic and search for the elusive Book of Life.

Back in the present day, Diana’s beloved aunts, Sarah and Em, must take shelter with notorious witchhunter Ysabeau de Clermont at her ancestral home, Sept-Tours. Meanwhile, in Oxford, Marcus and Miriam take on Matthew’s mantle to protect daemons Nathaniel and Sophie, whose pregnancy is advancing. And Gerbert, Knox, Satu and Domenico are determined to hunt down every clue they can to Diana’s and Matthew’s disappearance, and the secrets their allies are keeping from them.

The second season will follow Deborah Harkness’ “Shadow of Night,” the second book in her All Souls trilogy. The third will follow her “The Book of Life” novel, but Harkness told International Business Times that the series doesn’t have to stop where the books did.

“I think what will happen after that will up to the actors and to the powers that be, and it will be about success and a will to go on,” the author said. “I can certainly imagine lots of ways in which it can continue. The world keeps expanding with the new book [‘Time’s Convert,’ which came out in September]. I think it will be interesting to see what kind of added life television gives to it.”

“A Discovery of Witches” Season 1 is available now on streaming services Shudder and Sundance Now.
