Supernatural BBC drama Domino Day lands on BBC Three and iPlayer this month, here’s the trailer.
The BBC has made a wide variety of shows about witchcraft, from Tim Key and Daisy May Cooper sitcom The Witchfinder to CBBC comedies like The Worst Witch and the long forgotten Belfry Witches. The latest foray into the genre is the supernatural drama Domino Day, which is set and filmed in Manchester.
The synopsis reads as follows:
Domino Day, a young woman on all the dating apps. But Domino isn’t swiping to find her soulmate – she’s swiping to hunt. A young witch with extraordinary powers, Domino is desperately seeking a community who can help her understand who she is, but she doesn’t need to look far, as 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?
Siena Kelly, who was nominated for a BAFTA for her role as Amy in the 2020 Channel 4 drama Adult Material, stars as Domino, alongside Babirye Bukilwa, Poppy Lee Friar, Alisha Bailey, Molly Harris, Sam Howard-Sneyd, Percelle Ascott, Lucy Cohu, Christopher Jeffers, Jonah Rzeskiewicz and Maimuna Memon.
