While the novel it’s based on had nearly 600 pages worth of twists, turns and brushes with death, as a TV series, A Discovery of Witches only had eight short episodes to tell Matthew (Matthew Goode) and Diana’s (Teresa Palmer) story, which presented a bit of a problem.

Luckily for A Discovery of Witches fans, this series is actually an incredibly faithful adaptation of the novel — and in some ways, it’s even better!
A Discovery of Witches will be available to stream Thursday, Jan. 17 on Sundance Now and Shudder.
