SUNDANCE NOW FEBRUARY 2022 HIGHLIGHTS
A Discovery of Witches Season 3, Episode 5 (Saturday, February 5, 2022)
EXCLUSIVE | New Episode Every Saturday
In the final season of A Discovery of Witches, Matthew (Matthew Goode) and Diana (Teresa Palmer) return from their trip to 1590 to find tragedy at Sept-Tours. They must find the missing pages from the Book of Life and the Book itself before it’s too late.
Their enemies are gearing up against them, and a monster from Matthew’s past who has been lying in wait will return for revenge. A Discovery of Witches Season 3 is based on the ‘The Book of Life’ novel from Deborah Harkness’s bestselling All Souls trilogy and is the third and final installment. (7 episodes, 2022)
State of the Union Season 2 (Monday, February 14, 2022)
EXCLUSIVE | Binge Premiere
The Emmy Award-winning short-form drama series returns with Brendan Gleeson (The Tragedy of Macbeth), Patricia Clarkson (Sharp Objects), and Esco Jouléy (High Maintenance) leading the second installment of the innovative format: 10 episodes, each 10 minutes in length. Written by Nick Hornby (Brooklyn, An Education) and directed by Stephen Frears (The Queen, A Very English Scandal), State of the Union cleverly explores relationships and the human experience.
In this season, liberal campaigning Ellen (Clarkson) drags her traditional, self-made husband Scott (Gleeson) out of his comfort zone and into a hipster Connecticut coffee shop, where they have 10 minutes before their marriage counseling session to drink a coffee, gather their thoughts and argue about everything from Quakerism to pronouns. Amongst the bickering, they also discuss betrayals from their past, how they’re changing as people, and what the future of their relationship might look like in a changing world. (10 episodes, 2022)
Total Control Season 2, Episode 3 (Thursday, February 3, 2022)
EXCLUSIVE | New Episode Every Thursday

But now she faces the ultimate test in a democratic system: the nation is going to the polls, and Alex will have to face the judgment of the people by running as an Independent.
She’ll be ready for the inevitable dirty campaign tactics and to compete against the well-financed machinery of the major parties, but that won’t make things easier. Alex will be confronted by vile online trolls, threats to her family, and political opponents riled by the audacity of a Black woman using her voice. Can she survive a system determined to shake everything she values? (6 episodes, 2022)
