Sundance Now Picks Up Supernatural Drama 'Domino Day'

Never doubt the power of manifesting things: Back in February, we here at Telly Visions were desperate for a distributor to bring BBC Three's buzzy, critically acclaimed supernatural drama Domino Day to America. And it only took three months to get our wish. Streamer Sundance Now has announced that it'll be bringing the witchy series to U.S. viewers this summer. By all accounts, it's a worthy successor to the many similar dramas that have come out of that particular arm of the BBC. Think Being Human, In the Flesh, and Wreck, and other series that use their supernatural settings as larger metaphors to explore real-life problems.

Set in modern-day Manchester, the series follows the story of the titular Domino (Siena Kelly), a young woman who spends all her time on dating apps. But she's not swiping right looking for a soulmate or even a hook-up to pass the time. No, she's on the hunt...to hunt.

A young witch with extraordinary powers she doesn't understand, Domino needs to feed off the energy of others to survive. This process isn't exactly pleasant, so Domina spends her time tracking down evil men, punishing those who are dangerous, violent, or just straight-up deserve it. But her behavior has caught the eye of a local coven, tracking her every move, wondering if they need to stop her before she destroys everyone around her.
