Is A Discovery of Witches season 3 happening?

With so much buzz surrounding the second season of A Discovery of Witches, fans are wondering about season 3. Not only is A Discovery of Witches season 3 happening, but it has already started filming.

Sky TV didn’t pull any punches when it came to renewing the series after the first season. Given the show’s success, they quickly announced that there would be a season 2 and a season 3.

The series is based on the All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness. Historian and witch Diana Bishop comes across a magical book, Ashmole 782, and soon she’s at the center of a power struggle between witches, vampires and daemons who seek to learn the book’s secrets.

Vampire and scientist Matthew Clairmont shouldn’t feel as attracted to Diana as he does, but it is soon revealed that their fates are intertwined. Together they face insurmountable obstacles as they race to find the secrets of Ashmole 728.

Filming For A Discovery Of Witches Season 3 Is Underway

The first season is based on the events of A Discovery of Witches. Season 2 follows the second book in the trilogy, Shadow of Night, and season 3 would follow the events of The Book of Life. Harkness already wrote a fourth book set in the All Souls timeline, Time’s Convert, and she is currently working on a fifth book, which means there could be a fourth and fifth season of the show if Sky TV is interested in keeping the series going beyond season 3.

Season 2 became the most binge watched series in the UK after its release in early January. Filming for season 3 started before the holidays and is underway in the New Year with the producers taking all of the necessary steps to ensure a safe filming environment. If filming remains on schedule then fans should see the season 3 premiere in late 2021 or early 2022.

A Discovery of Witches season 2 is currently available on AMC+, Shudder and Sundance Now, with new episodes dropping every Saturday at 6am ET.
