Domino Day will focus on a young witch with extraordinary powers.Call the Midwife star Alisha Bailey has joined the cast for Domino Day, a new drama focusing on witches.
The actress, who played Alecia Palmer in the seventh series of the medical show, is part of a stacked cast for the new drama, which will air on BBC Three.The six-part series will focus on the titular character (Siena Kelly), a "young witch with extraordinary powers" who scours dating apps for prey instead of soulmates.
As per the logline, 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".Joining Bailey and Kelly in the cast are Babirye Bukilwa, Poppy Lee Friar and Molly Harris, with the series being written by Lauren Sequeira.Eva Sigurdardottir and Nadira Amrani serve as directors, with filming currently taking place in Manchester.
"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," said Sequeira.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," she continued.
"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 [Ascott], Sam [Howard-Sneyd], Babirye, Alisha, Poppy, Molly – they're all brilliantly cool, edgy, and witchy.I can't wait for the world to meet them all," she added.
