The book fans especially hold it so close to their heart, and hold those characters so close to their heart. You can never get enough of something, sometimes.<\/p> <p>\u201cBut you know, sometimes TV series can be spun out for too long, so maybe it\u2019s nice to keep a story condensed, and finish on a high.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd inevitably, there\u2019s bound to be disappointment from some of the people that some stuff in the book couldn\u2019t make it onto the TV show. But it\u2019s just the way it is. For seven episodes of TV, you can\u2019t fit in all 400 pages.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cI hope people are satisfied and happy about it. If you leave them wanting more, that\u2019s always a good thing, isn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On set, Cree notes that the final days of shooting weren\u2019t quite as emotional as you might think, with the entire cast and crew focused on completing the series amidst challenging COVID protocols. Still, he said there was a \u201csadness\u201d in finishing the final product, even though everyone felt like they\u2019d done a good job on the series.<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--aspect=\"\" style=\"&quot;padding-bottom:\" calc=\"\"> <picture><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/Diana-Gallowglass-8e6fc75.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=299%2C199,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/Diana-Gallowglass-8e6fc75.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=299%2C199,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/Diana-Gallowglass-8e6fc75.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=354%2C236,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/Diana-Gallowglass-8e6fc75.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=354%2C236,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/Diana-Gallowglass-8e6fc75.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=404%2C269,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/Diana-Gallowglass-8e6fc75.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=404%2C269,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/Diana-Gallowglass-8e6fc75.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=554%2C369,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(max-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/Diana-Gallowglass-8e6fc75.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=554%2C369,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/Diana-Gallowglass-8e6fc75.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C413,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/Diana-Gallowglass-8e6fc75.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C413,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/Diana-Gallowglass-8e6fc75.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=407%2C271,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/Diana-Gallowglass-8e6fc75.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=407%2C271,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/Diana-Gallowglass-8e6fc75.jpg?webp=true&amp;quality=90&amp;resize=555%2C370,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/webp&quot;\"><source media=\"&quot;(min-width:\" data-srcset=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/Diana-Gallowglass-8e6fc75.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=555%2C370,\" https:=\"\" type=\"&quot;image\/jpeg&quot;\"><img class=\"&quot;wp-image-1544231\" align=\"\" size-landscape_thumbnail=\"\" image-handler__image=\"\" image-handler__image--aspect=\"\" no-wrap=\"\" js-lazyload=\"\" data-src=\"&quot;https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/Diana-Gallowglass-8e6fc75.jpg?quality=90&amp;resize=620%2C413&quot;\" width=\"&quot;620&quot;\" height=\"&quot;413&quot;\" alt=\"&quot;A\" discovery=\"\" of=\"\" witches=\"\" title=\"&quot;A\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div><div class=\"&quot;caption-hold&quot;\"><figcaption class=\"&quot;wp-caption-text&quot;\"><span class=\"&quot;caption-copy&quot;\"><i class=\"&quot;icon-arrow\" icon-camera-circle=\"\"\/> Steven Cree as Gallowglass and Teresa Palmer as Diana Bishop in A Discovery of Witches season 3 (Sky)<\/span><\/figcaption><span class=\"&quot;im-image-caption&quot;\"\/><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThere was a definite sadness about finishing it,\u201d he said. \u201cAs an actor, you kind of get used to it, and you get used to things being fairly transient. It\u2019s always sad when a job finishes, because you never know when the next one\u2019s going to be.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d made some great friends on this. The crew were fantastic. It was a Herculean effort from the crew in season three. It was not necessarily easy for the actors either, but the crew were incredible, and they were there every single day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHopefully the fans kind of love what the final product is. I\u2019m happy with how it all went down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In any case, with all seven episodes available to watch on NOW from Friday, fans won\u2019t have long to see what they think.
