Get an inside look at THE WATCH, a new upcoming series from @BBCAmericaTV and BBC Studios! Salon.com's Television Critic Melanie McFarland sits down with executive producer/lead writer Simon Allen, executive producer Richard Stokes, and stars Richard Dormer ("Captain Sam Vimes") & Lara Rossi ("Lady Sybil Ramkin") to discuss bringing the fantastical world of Ankh-Morpork to life, exploring themes of found family, community, and power, guest appearances from familiar faces (and voices), and an exclusive new clip! Inspired by the characters created by Sir Terry Pratchett’s famous “Discworld” novels, #TheWatch follows an unlikely group of misfits, The City Watch, forced to find the guts to save the world, surprising even themselves in the process. The comedic yet thrilling series pits trolls, werewolves, wizards and other improbable heroes against an evil plot to resurrect a great dragon which would lead to the destruction of life as they know it. #TheWatch premieres with back-to-back episodes January 3, 2021 at 8/7c on BBC America: bbcamerica.com/shows/the-watch Stream the premiere early on December 31 on AMC+: amcplus.com Panelists: Simon Allen - Executive Producer & Lead Writer Richard Stokes - Executive Producer Richard Dormer - Actor, "Captain Sam Vimes" Lara Rossi - Actor, "Lady Sybil Ramkin" Moderator: Melanie McFarland (Salon.com) Follow BBCAmerica Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook: @BBCAmerica Follow The Watch Twitter & Instagram: @TheWatch Facebook: @TheWatchTV Follow ATX TV Twitter, Instagram and Facebook: @ATXFestival Attend ATX Television Festival Season 10 | atxfestival.com/attend Subscribe to The TV Campfire Podcast | atvxp.com/thetvcampfire
