Exciting times for All Souls fans! We finally learned about the talented cast that will play Diana Bishop and Matthew Clairmont—Teresa Palmer and Matthew Goode.
A Discovery Of Witches will air in the UK and Ireland on Sky 1, with additional networks to be announced, hopefully soon.
If you’re joining the celebration a tad late, here’s a quick recap for you, with key links. We’ll continue to update this post as more news are revealed. Enjoy!
Diana:
Happy Birthday!
I kept this for you.
It was our first indication that you were going to be a great witch. Maybe you’ll need it one day.
Lots of love, Mom
We love Rebecca’s letter to Diana!!
To celebrate, we have a mega-giveaway jointly with All Souls Con, Daemons Domain, and Daemons Discuss.
If the Auvergne wasn’t in your bucket list, you will want to add it after seeing all the magnificent photos that Christine has taken during a recent visit to Château Dauphin (Pontgibaud), Deborah’s inspiration for Sept-Tours in the Auvergne. If you haven’t had a chance to see them yet, she’s posted several pictures on her Instagram feed, @Chrystylen.
We were completely mesmerized by her photos, so we decided to contact her. She was very generous to chat with us and allowed us to share her pictures in this post. We learned that Christine lives in the Auvergne (lucky gal!), so the All Souls Trilogy is very special to her. Anyone wants to join a tour?
Any #TeamMiriam out there?
We admit it. We’re super fans of the sharp-tongued, Scrabble-loving, perceptive Miriam Sheppard and couldn’t be more excited about a session on genetics with Prof. Shelli Carter at All Souls Con.
We had a chance to chat briefly with Shelli and wanted to share what she told us. It’s not a lengthy conversation—it’s rather an introduction, since we didn’t want to risk big convention spoilers.
P.S. Hoping that Miriam will be featured in Deborah’s upcoming book.
Do know how the Bishop House gets all the magic? Tell us your theory for a chance to win!
At the end of the contest, we’ll share all your theories.
The Book Of Life starts on July 4th, exactly when Shadow Of Night ends, so it seems only fitting to have a Book Of Life-themed giveaway. The prize pack includes items related to the third installment of the trilogy.
Over the past few months, Deborah has given us a number of updates about the TV adaptation of the All Souls Trilogy, which we know is the capable hands of Bad Wolf. We also know that the studio is getting built in Cardiff, Wales, and “A Discovery Of Witches” will be the first TV series to be filmed in the brand new studio. So exciting!
Back in February a golden opportunity arose to pay a visit to Speke Hall near Liverpool, aka The Old Lodge. Whilst teenage offspring were carousing around Europe on school trips, we decided to meet up with family in Ormskirk which is very close to Speke. I haven’t visited since reading the All Souls Trilogy so was looking forward to viewing it from Matthew and Diana’s perspective.
