A Discovery of Witches, a fantasy series starring Matthew Goode, Teresa Palmer, and Alex Kingston is available to stream now. A Discovery of Witches is based on Deborah Harkness’ All Souls. Although she is unsure of who to trust, Diana finds help from a vampire named Matthew. But when her studies lead her to discover a bewitched manuscript, she must explore the world of magic to uncover its secrets. The orphaned daughter of two powerful witches, Bishop prefers intellect, but relies on magic when her discovery of a palimpsest documenting the origin of supernatural species releases an assortment of undead who threaten, stalk, and harass her. Diana is a historian who is reluctant to embrace her powers as a witch. In Harkness's lively debut, witches, vampires, and demons outnumber humans at Oxford's Bodleian Library, where witch and Yale historian Diana Bishop discovers an enchanted manuscript, attracting the attention of 1,500-year-old vampire Matthew Clairmont.
