A RARE SUNNY DAY IN Manchester, and SFX is on set for new BBC YA drama Domino Day. Even the cast admit they’re surprised by the weather, revealing that they’ve never seen anything quite like Manchester rain before. Welcome to the north, ladies and gentlemen. Not that they see much of the light anyway, as Domino Day is a celebration of creatures of the night: witches.
The six-part series follows a powerful young witch named Domino (Siena Kelly) as she’s haunted by an increasing need to feed off the energy of others, using dating apps to track down targets. In doing so, Domino is endangering the magical realm, threatening to reveal to mankind that witches live among them. A coven is therefore following her every move, trying to learn exactly who and what Domino is… something that she’s also trying to discover herself.
RULE-BREAKER
Dark, sexy and smart, Domino Day follows in the footsteps of other British supernatural shows such as Being Human, another BBC Three production. For creator Lauren Sequeira though, onboard as writer and producer, the inspiration for her show was distinctly more American. In fact, Domino Day is her answer to something she perceives to be lacking in UK genre TV, she tells SFX.
“I’ve always loved supernatural shows – The Vampire Diaries, True Blood, etc – but we don’t really do that genre over here, not a lot anyway. So with the BBC getting behind this, saying ‘Let’s do witches’, that’s cool.”
