Will There Be A Spin-Off For Is A Discovery Of Witches Over?

Honestly, I'm equal parts hopeful and realistic about the chances of a spin-off from 'A Discovery of Witches'. The TV show wrapped its main storyline with season three (which finished adapting Deborah Harkness's 'The Book of Life'), and as of mid-2024 there hasn't been any official greenlight for a direct spin-off from the networks involved. That said, the universe the series built — witches, vampires, daemons, the mysteries of Ashmole 782 and all the time-traveling tangles — is ripe for more screen time, and there are obvious source-material candidates that would make a neat next chapter on screen.

If I were making a wishlist, the most natural adaptation to me is 'Time's Convert', which is literally a companion novel and dives deep into Marcus Whitmore's backstory and how he became the vampire we saw on screen. Translating that into a prequel miniseries could deliver gothic period drama, political vampire courts, and a deeper look at the moral compromises characters made centuries ago. Another path would be a prequel centered on Matthew's life in the 1500s or a series about the de Clermont family across generations — the show already teased family politics and old rivalries that could sustain multiple seasons. Even a shorter anthology focusing on different eras tied to Ashmole 782 or to side characters (imagine a two-season arc following a famous vampire coven) would scratch a lot of fan itch.

Practically, though, there are hurdles: rights, budgets, and timing. The original series involved multiple production and broadcast partners, and streaming numbers, cast availability, and global demand will all factor into whether a studio wants to invest. The good news is the streaming era loves established IPs, so if producers see enough traction—through fan campaigns, streaming re-watches, or a strong pitch about adapting 'Time's Convert'—a spin-off could happen. I've seen smaller fandom campaigns revive projects before, and humorous, heartfelt petitions and social buzz can catch an exec's eye.

In the meantime, I'm re-reading parts of the trilogy and 'Time's Convert' and hunting for fanfiction that fills in gaps. If creators do move forward, I’d love a show that keeps the mix of romance, history, and supernatural politics that made the original special — and if not, the books still give a ton to enjoy and imagine.
