Eve star Poppy Lee Friar and The Innocents’ Percelle Ascott  are among the lead cast for BBC Three’s new supernatural series, Domino Day.

Adult Material’s Siena Kelly plays Domino, a young woman on all on 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?

Babirye Bukilwa (We Hunt Together), Alisha Bailey (Call the Midwife), Molly Harris (Industry), Sam Howard-Sneyd (Clarity and Chaos), Christopher Jeffers (Rocketman), Jonah Rzeskiewicz (Death on the Nile) Maimuna Memon (Sherwood) and Kris Hitchen (Trigger Point) are also in the cast.

The series is written by Lauren Sequeira with Laurence Bowen as executive producer and  directed by Eva Sigurdardottir and Nadira Amrani

Lauren Sequeira noted: “I’m over the (full) moon to be doing this project with the BBC and Dancing Ledge Productions, who have really championed my career from the start. I wanted to write a supernatural series that wasn’t only thrilling and twisty, but also tapped into the very real dating scene and how it affects modern relationships.”

“As soon as I saw Siena Kelly I knew she was my Domino. She has an amazing way of showing both strength and vulnerability in just one look. I’m so excited about the rest of the cast joining her — Percelle, Sam, Babirye, Alisha, Poppy, Molly — they’re all brilliantly cool, edgy, and witchy. I can’t wait for the world to meet them all.”
