Domino Day: Release date, cast, trailer, latest news for BBC drama
The supernatural BBC thriller is set to land on our screens very soon.
It's only the start of the new year but already, we have a plethora of new shows to bookmark and look forward to in the coming months. Landing on BBC Three in the not-so-distant future is a new series sure to be a hit with any fans of the supernatural genre.
The new series, Domino Day, has been described as a "modern-day witch drama" and will follow titular character Domino (Siena Kelly) as she spends her time swiping on dating apps to find people to hunt. Why? Well, to satiate her need to feed on the energy of others.
But as Domino moves to Manchester to forge a new life for herself and attempt to find a community, she's being tracked by a coven of witches and a looming figure from her past who threatens to ruin her fresh start.
As well as BAFTA-nominated Kelly (Adult Material, Hit & Run) leading the cast as Domino, the new series also boasts the likes of Dreaming Whilst Black's babirye bukilwa and Ackley Bridge's Poppy Lee Friar. But who else is set to star in Domino Day and when will the new series be released?
