Update on A Discovery of Witches - Season 2

Last year, I published a blog post about a new TV show based on the best-selling series, A Discovery of Witch. I was so excited to watch the series because I loved the trilogy.  Author Deborah Harkness is a medieval European historian by training, yet she was able to create this magical world that combines history and fantasy in an interweaving and suspenseful way. After the season finale, Sky News renewed the hit TV show for two additional seasons. It is expected that the second season will be based on the second novel in the trilogy series, Shadow of Night.

In the second novel, the setting shifts to 16th-century Elizabethan-era London. The magically powerful couple--witch Diana Bishop and vampire Matthew Clairmount--embark upon a time-walking journey to understand the secrets inside a lost and enchanted manuscript known as Ashmole 782, which may hold the origins of otherworldly beings--daemons, witches, and vampires.

According to media reports, the production of the second season wrapped up in January 2020. The expected air date will take place in the autumn of 2020, though it has not been officially confirmed. Finally, pray for the health and safety of the cast and crew. As of today, the COVID-19 virus has become a global pandemic. Remember that the studio production took place just prior to the emerging hotspots in the European Union--Italy and England.

Meanwhile, check out the latest new standalone novel based on the All Souls Trilogy series, Time's Convert (2018). The plot focuses on Marcus's background and how he became a vampire during the American Revolution. Since I have more free time in my personal life, I will post a book review hopefully by the summer of 2020. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming months.
