A Discovery of Witches season three will be returning in 2022 - but fans will have to hold on a little bit longer for an exact air date.
Shooting began in late 2020 and earlier this year, executive producer Jane Tranter reveal it had wrapped.
"And that's finally a wrap on #ADiscoveryOfWitchesS3. Fittingly the final hours were with @teresapalmer, #matthewgoode. More to come but for now huge thanks to our courageous, brilliant, talented cast + crew, working miracles during a pandemic. @BadWolf_TV will never forget," Jane announced on Twitter.
There's also a teaser trailer giving fans a first look at the upcoming episodes.
Meanwhile, Teresa Palmer, who leads the supernatural drama as Diana Bishop, has teased an epic finale, telling Radio Times: "Everything feels very elevated. The danger is immense, the passion is immense, the tragedy immense. And there’s so much that we have to face and overcome."
We also know that a major role has been recast for season three. Following "scheduling conflicts" caused by the coronavirus pandemic, Trystan Gravelle was "unable to continue" in his role as senior vampire Baldwin Montclair and has been replaced by Peter McDonald.
"Due to scheduling conflicts arising from COVID-19, the wonderful Trystan Gravelle was unable to continue as Baldwin Montclair for season three," a spokesperson for the show said.
"However, he has handed the baton to the fantastic Peter McDonald who we're sure you'll absolutely love as the intimidating head of the de Clermont family."
Adapted from the best-selling All Souls novel series by Deborah Harkness, the fantasy drama follows the intense relationship between a witch and a vampire, formed after a magical manuscript is discovered in a library at Oxford University.
Season two was confirmed just as the first series - which became Sky One's most popular dramas of 2018 - had debuted. Season three was announced shortly after.

Viewers will be transported back to Elizabethan London in the second instalment, with Matthew (Matthew Goode, Downton Abbey) and Diana (Teresa Palmer, Hacksaw Ridge) looking for a mentor to help Diana's control her power, while hiding in time from the Congregation.
We know that season 3 will be adapted from the final book in Deborah's trilogy The Book of Life - but what can fans expect from season three?
We take a look below...
A Discovery of Witches season 3: Cast
Season two will feature the return of our star-crossed lovers, Teresa Palmer as Diana Bishop, and Matthew Good as Matthew Clairmont. Other returning characters will inlcude Sarah Bishop (Doctor Who's Alex Kingston), Emily Mather (Half & Half's Valarie Pettiford), Nathaniel Wilson (Daniel Ezra), Marcus Whitmore (Killing Eve's Edward Bluemel) and Sophie Norman (Aisling Loftus from Mr Selfridge).
The series will also introduce us to some exciting new cast members, including Steven Cree (Outlander) as Gallowglass De Clermont, a vampire and soldier of fortune who is particularly fond of his uncle, Matthew.
Sheila Hancock will appear as elder witch Goody Alsop, while James Purefoy stars as Philippe De Clermont, founder of the Congregation, commander of the Knights of Lazarus, mate of Ysabeau, and stepfather to Matthew.
Paul Rhys plays Andrew Hubbard, the vampire ruler of all creatures in London in 1590, and Adelle Leonce stars as human art curator Phoebe Taylor, who steals Marcus' heart.
Victoria star Tom Hughes also joins as Kit Marlowe, the famed English playwright, poet and translator of the Elizabethan era.
Edward Bluemel told Good Housekeeping UK that season three will feature all of the characters reuniting in the present day again, so we can probably expect the return of the original cast once more - but perhaps not the characters we meet in Elizabethan London.
"I think it's really nice to see some of the characters reconnect - who haven't seen each other in season two - it's great to see the whole gang back together," Ed revealed.
A Discovery of Witches season 3: What's it about?
The Book of Life follows the final steps in the story of Diana and Matthew Clairmont as they begin to unravel the secrets of their enigmatic manuscript. The couple are also on a mission of revenge, seeking the final pages of the Book of Life, and bringing justice to witches and vampires that have wronged them.
Adelle Leonce has revealed that the characters will be splitting up to embark on their own quests, so fans get expect lots of "different adventures".
"This series kind of divides..." Adelle told Good Housekeeping UK. "Everyone goes off on their own mission so we see a real split in the characters. Diana gets her sidekick, and I'm all about helping her, and Marcus goes off and does his thing. It's such a complex book and so much to cover... So lots of different avenues lots of different adventures and lots of big moments to look forward to."
Edward added: "Plot-wise it's hard to say too much! It's strange because plot-wise as well, it's the third book, so lots of people will know what happens. It's nice to see the whole gang back together after season two."
A Discovery of Witches season 3: When's it on TV?
A Discovery of Witches will return to Sky One in 2022. An exact air date has yet to be confirmed.
A Discovery of Witches season 3: Is there a trailer?
