BBC Three’s new supernatural drama, Domino Day, follows the titular character, a young witch who feeds on the energy of others using dating apps to find her victims.
Desperately seeking a community that can help her understand who she is, Domino heads to Manchester, where she’s being trailed by a coven of witches who want to put a stop to her antics. But when a dangerous figure from her past comes back to haunt her, will she get the fresh start she’s looking for?
