.TaraDBennett spoke with teresapalmer about the ADiscoveryofWitches finale, pranking Matthew Goode, and if Diana's story could continue:
, has closed the majestic tale of witch/historian Diana Bishop’s time-bending quest for love, magical knowledge, and supernatural species unification. Over three seasons, the series distilled the main themes and plot points of the book into a complex but compelling story of Bishop’s ultimate goal of connecting the warring factions of witches, vampires, and other supernatural creatures who have been living amongst humans for centuries.
To mark this huge moment in her personal career, as well as the rare complete ending for a genre series,Zoomed with Palmer from her home in Australia to dig into the specifics of the finale, her thoughts on coming to the other side of her first television series, and if there’s a possible continuation of Bishop’s adventures.was your first television series.
And then this season, the birth sequence was important. Obviously, she was going to give birth in the third season, but I really wanted to show birth onscreen in a way that hasn’t been done. I got to have a big, big, big say in that which was really lovely. I sat down with the two Debs, Deb Harkness and then Debs Paterson who directed as well, and said let’s do it this way because it hasn’t been shown on camera like that.
The idea of Tanya’s Agatha taking them next level as one collective, big group, is just such a wonderful representation of togetherness. We are stronger together. I think that that’s a big takeaway from this show: inclusivity, less separatism, more togetherness. Let’s celebrate the common threads that bind us. I loved that!: Let’s talk about that tango at the end. Diana and Matthew come full circle on the dance floor amongst their friends and family.
