What's On Tonight (Saturday): Let them know the Witches are discovered

A Discovery of Witches (via Shahadaahmed)

Wake up, you sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, January 9!

Saturday streams. Top Pick tonight goes to the season two premiere of A Discovery of Witches on Sundance Now (and AMC+ and Shudder). The British fantasy follows Diana Bishop, historian and witch, who accesses Ashmole 782 and knows she must solve its mysteries. She is offered help by the enigmatic Matthew Clairmont, but he's a vampire and witches should never trust vampires. It's based on the All Souls trilogy by Deborah Harkness.

Elsewhere, Attack on Titan is back, Hallmark goes New Year's, Pete Davidson is your new king, two divorced men try not to drive one another crazy, there are murders in Florida
