Season 1 showed us the story of Diana Bishop (played by Palmer), who was a former witch but left that life behind due to many reasons and worked as a historian ever since. But her new work led her once again to the life she left behind when she comes across a bewitched manuscript at the Oxford library. She realises that she will have to confront her past and histories in order to solve this dilemma.
Her journey led her to meeting Matthew Clairmont (played by Goode), who is a vampire and the two decide to team up. Despite the bad blood between witches and vampires, the two get along well and even fall in love.

The show became one of the most watched shows in Sky One and had around two million viewers, which resulted in it getting renewed immediately for season two. With season two appearing, there will be no doubt that the third and final season, based on the third book, “The Book of Life” will also be following suit.
