The Twelvelms Conspiracy

The Twelvelms Conspiracy is a new fantasy mystery show from the creator behind Spirit Box Radio, Not Quite Dead, & Remnants.

Twelvelms (pronounced like ‘twelve elms’) is a university of magic, teaching a select group of young mages the old ways of their elusive communities in order to mould their minds for the future. They’re a part of Coven Derwen, which itself is part of an ancient alliance of mage covens which all work together to keep their world hidden. Twelvelms University of Hermetics is a key part of that alliance; a place of learning built on neutral ground where the great mages of the future are taught and coached today.

Cyan Goodman is a Happener – a mage spontaneously born to unmage parents – and he is very much out of his depth. He recounts his time at Twelvelms long after it has passed, recounting the overwhelm of discovering a whole new world hidden just out of sight; the strange mysteries which seem to unravel constantly at Twelvelms; and the difficulties of trying to make friends when you have so many things you have to keep secret.

Season One began releasing 21st September, 2025 with a double bill. Episodes release monthly on the 21st, until the finale, which will air on 21st August 2026.
