Telly’s Take
Although it premiered with mediocre numbers for basic cable, I’m sure BBC America and/or AMC will air season two of A Discovery of Witches. The show premiered on Sky One (in UK and Ireland) in the fall of 2018. In the U.S., it then debuted on the Shudder, Sundance Now, and AMC Premium streaming platforms in January of this year. It has since been renewed for both a second season and a third, on Sky and the streaming services. Parent-company AMC Networks thought enough of its streaming performance that they decided to simulcast it on BBCA and AMC. So, I can’t imagine season two won’t show up on at least one of the two cable networks next year. I’ll keep an eye out for news and will update this page with breaking developments.

What do you think? Do you hope the A Discovery of Witches TV show will be renewed for a second season? How would you feel if BBC America cancelled this TV series, instead?
Sorry,but streaming sucks… show needs to return to either BBC America or AMC networks.
Not going to pay for streaming, ever!!
I was glued to this show from the very beginning! From the time “the book” she was looking for appeared to her in the Library, to learning she was a “time walker”. Season 1 ended with her and the vampire escaping back to the past, 14th century?. I was able to catch what I thought was the 2nd season opening, then nothing! Very frustrating for what is an incredible series! I hope it continues!
I absolutely love this series!! Very clever show and excellent choice of actors! Would love a 3rd & 4th season!!!
I love this series. I adore Matthew and Teresa for being Matthew and Diana…they are a handsome couple. Pls film books 4 to 7. I love the series and the actors. Thanks.
I hope AMC or BBC bring Discovery of Witches back!! I saw the first episode of season 2 and truly loved it still, but I dont get Sundance in my line up and I dont want to scream live on my phone.
Hope they decide to put discovery of witches season 2 on amc. I can’t afford more pay streaming services.
I agree 100% … I am beyond frustrated about this … on top of that I read the reviews for Sundance Now and Shudder (same company btw) and apparently the service sux and they have been ripping off people … not feeling very confident in my ability to watch it at all
