On 19 March 2015, the miniseries was picked up for a full series of a further 20 episodes and was confirmed under the new title of The Evermoor Chronicles as a continuation to the original.[8] On 5 September 2015, filming for the first season was completed.[9][10] An announcement by Disney EMEA at the International Kids Emmys confirmed The Evermoor Chronicles would be returning for a second series of 12 episodes, after attracting 5.3 million viewers in its first quarter on air.[11]
To run alongside the main TV series, a web series of mini-episodes called the Evermoor Confidential Chronicles was launched. Each episode features one of the characters recording a vlog in a secret scene taking place in-between each episode from the main series. Each one gives a spoiler of what is to come in the next episode of the TV series.[12]
It has been inferred that the series has either been cancelled, or has ended without any news as there are currently no plans to make a third series, as of February 2020.
Plot
The miniseries and the first series star Tara Crossley, an American teen who moves from the United States to an English village called Evermoor. As her mother and stepfather unpack at their new home, Tara, her brother, and her British step-siblings adjust to their new life.
The second series stars Bella as she tries to apply for fashion school in London. When Davorin, an evil man who is trapped inside a magic mirror, breaks Ludo into splinters, Bella and her friends must find Ludo's splinters before wish making chaos begins across the village of Evermoor.
Characters
- Tara Crossley (Naomi Sequeira) (pilot – season 1) – Tara is the only member of the family who has been to Evermoor before to visit her aunt Bridget when she was little and is the most excited about living there. She is Jake's sister and Seb and Bella's step-sister. She enjoys writing stories and because of this she has an overactive imagination. In the show she solves mysteries in the manor and finds out later on that she is the supreme everine. Over the course of this, she loses and regains her powers. Prior to the second season, she becomes the "Taylor Swift of the book world" as Bella says, and leaves Evermoor, as well as Cameron.
- Sebastian "Seb" Crossley (George Sear) (pilot – season 1) – Seb is Bella's twin brother and Jake and Tara's step-brother. He likes to have evidence and proof, before making any conclusions, and keeps Tara grounded. He is quite geeky and is in love with Sorsha. He seems to have a very strong relationship with Tara, which makes Bella very jealous. He seems to care very much for both his sisters but probably enjoys Tara's company more than that of his own sister. It is shown that he thinks Evermoor is full of nonsense and idiots. In the end of the first season, he finally believes in magic. Prior to the second season, he wishes with Sorsha to travel the world together.
- Cameron Marsh (Finney Cassidy) – Cameron is Tara and Bella's love interest but has chosen Tara. His mum was an Everine. He is shown to have helped Esmeralda to cheat Tara so he can find his mother. He has a magical spider, Flynn, that makes the golden thread. In the second season, Cameron and Tara have broken up (prior to the second season) as she has left the village, and Cameron spends the second season trying to help repair Ludo. He also becomes interested in Alice, whom he comes to love.
- Bella Crossley (Georgia Lock) – Bella is Seb's twin sister and Jake and Tara's step-sister. She often gets jealous of how close Tara and Seb are and to make up for the lack of attention she gets from Seb, she flirts with Cameron. Later on in the show, she gains an ability to smell emotions, though they seem to be gone in the second season for unknown reasons. Bella takes the lead role in the second season as she prepares to leave Evermoor for fashion school. She decides to stay after she causes Ludo to be splintered and works to fix him and apply for fashion school again. She becomes smitten with Iggi and remains oblivious to the fact that Otto loves her. In the end of the season, she and Otto defeat Davorin, and she chooses him to leave Evermoor with her because they love each other.
- Jake Crossley (Georgie Farmer) – Jake is Tara's brother and Seb and Bella's step-brother. He is good friends with Ludo and together they enjoy solving 'mini mysteries'. In Season Two, he is interested in Lacie. He also finds out about the magic of Evermoor in the second season after discovering that Ludo is a ghost. He then decides to stay in Evermoor to grow closer to Lacie, and to help save Ludo.
- Sorsha Doyle (Jordan Loughran) (pilot – season 1) – Sorsha is a recently appointed Everine but is kicked out of the circle when she breaks the rule of no boys. She is the daughter of Mayor Doyle and is in love with Seb. She becomes the third founder later in the series, but Tara frees her of it. She leaves with Seb prior to Season Two to travel the world.
- Mayor Chester Doyle (Clive Rowe) – Chester is the father of Sorsha and has three jobs; Mayor, lawyer, teacher.
- Ludicrous "Ludo" Carmichael (Alex Starke) – Ludo is Jake's best friend and the son of Crimson. In Season Two, he is turned into a ghost by Davorin after he followed Iggi into the caves where Davorin was kept. Across the second season, he and his friends searched far and wide across Evermoor for his splinters. In the end of the season, he is restored to his human form.
- Housekeeper Crimson Carmichael (Margaret Cabourn-Smith) - Housekeeper Crimson is apparently the 'Former Housekeeper', but doesn't seem to be leaving the manor any time soon. She is also the mother of Ludo. She is Jed's love interest in Season Two.
- Esmerelda Dwyer (Sharon Morgan) (pilot – season 1) – Esmerelda is the new leader of the Everines after aunt Bridget 'died'. She is quite mysterious and very mean to Tara. She also has a strange preference for Bogvine tea. She becomes the first founder later in the series, but Tara frees her of it.
- Aunt Bridget (Georgie Glen) (pilot – season 1) – Bridget is Tara's aunt. She was the leader of the Everines. She faked her death so Tara can follow her destiny. Later in the first season, it is revealed that she is evil and cursed Cameron's mother into a tree. She later is controlled by the Founders who have her essence. She leaves for Hollowfall at the end of the first season with her older sister Agatha, thanks to Tara.
- Otto (Sammy Moore) (season 1–2) – After causing 100 days of thunder, Otto, a demigod, was banished from his home. Tara is his first mortal friend.[13] He secretly likes Bella, as Tara, Seb, Sorsha and Cameron know except Bella herself... In the second season, Otto competes for Bella's affections with Iggi, his little brother. He, along with Bella defeat Davorin in the finale, and he is also chosen by Bella to leave the village with her because they love each other.
- Lacie Fairburn (India Ria Amarteifio) (season 1–2) – Lacie's parents are committed to the traditions of the village, and intend for her to become an Everine someday. However, she would rather become the mayor.[13] She becomes the second founder later in the series, but Tara frees her of it. In the second season, she is shown to be having an interest in Jake after he returns to Evermoor. Later, she accidentally releases the final crypt stone after hearing Iggi sing the incantation. In the end of the season, she and Jake seem to be together.
- Iggi (Ben Radcliffe) (season 2) – Iggi is Otto's younger brother who is the main cause of the threat of Davorin in Season Two after he wishes for a cure for him and becomes Davorin's servant. He is shown to have feelings for Bella, and is at odds with his brother for her affection. He is shown to be condescending towards his friends during the times he served Davorin. In the end of the season, Iggi is released from his curse and remains friends with Bella after she chooses Otto.
