AMC Networks' popular streamer Sundance Now has been announced as the exclusive U.S. home for the supernatural, modern-day, witch drama, Domino Day.

Following its successful UK launch on BBC Three earlier this year to wide critical acclaim, Domino Day will premiere in the U.S. this summer on Sundance Now and AMC+. The series is a Sundance Now collaboration with British broadcaster BBC Three and our team at Dancing Ledge Productions.

Set and filmed in Manchester, the supernatural six-parter stars the BAFTA nominatedSiena Kelly (Adult Material, Hit & Run) as Domino Day, a young woman on all the dating apps. But Domino isn't swiping to find her soulmate - she's swiping to hunt.

A young witch with extraordinary powers, Domino is desperately seeking a community who can help her understand who she is, but she doesn't need to look far as a coven of witches is already tracking her every move, convinced they have to stop her before her powers destroy everyone and everything around her.

When a dangerous figure from Domino's past comes back to haunt her, will it be a fresh start for them all, or a final showdown?

Shannon Cooper, VP, Programming, Sundance Now, shared: "Domino Day was destined for Sundance Now. With our audience's deep love of wildly popular series such as A Discovery of Witches and our recent successful coven drama, Sanctuary: A Witch's Tale, Domino Day is in perfect company. Siena Kelly delivers a riveting performance alongside a compelling and stellar script. Thanks to our continued partners, Fremantle, BBC Three and Dancing Ledge Productions, for their collaboration across this exciting series which we are elated to bring to our U.S. viewers."

Shirley Bowers, SVP of U.S. Distribution, Fremantle, said: "Sundance Now is the perfect platform for a premium scripted series like Domino Day. It's such a big, bold modern series which sees witches caught up in an all-too human drama that's enthralling from the opening minute. We're sure it will be another huge hit in the U.S. for one of our hottest English language dramas of the year."

Siena Kelly joined by fellow cast members Babirye Bukilwa as Sammie, Poppy Lee Friar as Geri, Alisha Bailey as Kat, Molly Harris as Jules, Sam Howard Sneyd as Silas and Percelle Ascott as Leon. The series also stars Lucy Cohu, Christopher Jeffers and Jonah Rzeskiewicz.

Domino Day is created and written by Lauren Sequeira (Gangs of London, Kiss Me First), with individual episodes written by Charlene James (A Discovery of Witches, The Rising) and Haleema Mirza (Secret Invasion). The series is directed by Eva Sigurdardottir (Good Night, Rainbow Party) and Nadira Amrani (Extraordinary, On The Edge), with Nick Pitt as producer. Executive producers are Lauren Sequeira with Laurence Bowen, Chris Carey and Elinor Day for Dancing Ledge Productions, and Lucy Richer and Ayela Butt for the BBC.

A Sundance Now Original in association with the BBC and Fremantle's Dancing Ledge Productions, Domino Day will premiere in the U.S. on Sundance Now and AMC+ this summer.

The deal was brokered by Shirley Bowers, SVP of U.S. Distribution at Fremantle, with Shannon Cooper, VP of Programming at Sundance Now.
