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.
