A Discovery of Witches
Now playing — “Episode 1”
AMC+'s adaptation of Deborah Harkness's All Souls Trilogy. Dr. Diana Bishop — a Yale historian and reluctant witch — calls up an alchemical manuscript at the Bodleian Library and accidentally breaks a centuries-old enchantment, putting every witch, vampire, and daemon in Oxford on alert. Among them: Matthew Clairmont, a 1,500-year-old geneticist-vampire who needs the book even more than she does.
