Sundance Now and AMC+ have set a June 27, 2024 U.S. premiere date for Domino Day: Lone Witch. The supernatural drama, which premiered on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer earlier this year, follows BAFTA nominee Siena Kelly (Adult Material, Hit & Run) as a modern-day witch who makes use of dating apps … but not to find a date.
New episodes of the six-episode season stream on Thursdays.
“Hailed by critics as ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Charmed,’ this supernatural drama follows Domino Day (Kelly), a powerful young witch with a dark secret – she has to feed on the energy of humans to survive,” reads Sundance Now’s synopsis. “What she doesn’t know is that a coven of witches is already tracking her every move, convinced they have to stop her before her powers destroy everyone and everything around her. When a dangerous figure from Domino’s past comes back to haunt her, will it be a fresh start for them all … or a final showdown?”
Series star Siena Kelly says we’ll meet Domino when she’s in a bad place. “When we meet her she’s already aware she’s a witch and is experiencing this deep hunger that she doesn’t know how to control. The only way she can satiate it is if she feeds on humans, which she doesn’t like doing,” offered Kelly. “It’s scary for her that she can’t control it and she doesn’t even know what she’s trying to control. So it’s her journey of learning how to control this urge and learning where it came from and what it means.”
The season one cast includes Babirye Bukilwa (Dreaming Whilst Black) as Sammie, Poppy Lee Friar (Mr Selfridge) as Geri, Alisha Bailey (Grace) as Kat, and Molly Harris (Industry) as Jules. Sam Howard Sneyd (The Children) plays Silas, Percelle Ascott (I Came By) is Leon, Lucy Cohu (Cobra) is Esme, Christopher Jeffers (The Order One) is Mike, and Jonah Rzeskiewicz (Masters of the Air) is Jason.
Lauren Sequeira (Gangs of London) created the series and serves as writer and executive producer. Eva Sigurdardottir (Good Night) and Nadira Amrani (Extraordinary) direct, and Charlene James (A Discovery of Witches) and Haleema Mirza (Secret Invasion) are season one writers. Additional executive producers include Laurence Bowen, Chris Carey and Elinor Day for Dancing Ledge Productions, and Lucy Richer and Ayela Butt for the BBC.
Sequeira describes the lead character as a very powerful witch who doesn’t understand the extent of her powers. “All she knows is she needs to feed off the energy of others and she uses dating apps to find her victims,” explained Sequeira in an interview with BBC. “There is a coven of witches based in Manchester that see her as a threat and want to stop her before she hurts someone.”
