Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

AMC has given a green light to an adaptation of VV James’ novel Sanctuary.

The fantasy mystery series is set in a small fictional UK town, Sanctuary. When the local golden boy dies in an unexplained accident, accusations of murder start flying. Sanctuary’s resident witch and her daughter are quickly embroiled in a modern-day witch-hunt, as the once close community of Sanctuary unravels in a storm of paranoia and suspicion, with horrifying consequences.

Elaine Cassidy (A Discovery of Witches) leads the cast as Sarah Fenn, with Hazel Doupe (Smother) as Harper Fenn, Stephanie Levi-John (The Spanish Princess) as DCI Maggie Knight and Amy De Bhrún (Line of Duty) as Abigail Whithall. Scripts are by Debbie Horsfield, Jess Ruston and Gabbie Asher.
