I loved his subversive, absurdist humour when I was a teenager and reading the part of Death, who appears in nearly all the Discworld books, has given me a renewed appreciation of his comic genius. ‘Coming back to Terry Pratchett’s world after many years has been a pleasure. They feel very much like the voice of the great man himself commenting on the action. They are his personal commentary on the action, little snippets of information or funny asides. He added footnotes to the pages of all of his Discworld novels. ‘I’m honoured to voice the footnotes and bring to life one of the funniest, quirkiest and best-loved aspects of Terry Pratchett’s world. Game of Thrones star Indira Varma is lending her voice to the Witches books, Fleabag’s Sian Clifford is reading the Death books and Merlin’s Colin Morgan will read the Wizard books, along with Andy Serkis, star of Lord of the Rings, reading the standalone title, Small Gods, with more casting for the rest of the series still to be announced. The Discworld series can be divided up into subseries, with one main narrator set to voice each subseries.

Pratchett penned the most inventive descriptions for Death’s curious, hollow voice, from ‘in tones as heavy as a whale's heartbeat’ to ‘in a voice with all the warmth and colour of an iceberg’, with his speech represented in the books with small unquoted capital letters.

Peter Serafinowicz, star of Shaun of the Dead and Star Wars, will voice the part of Death throughout the series. Pratchett annotated the Discworld series with his famous footnotes – essentially his own voice commenting on the story - which will be narrated by Bill Nighy, star of Love Actually and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Penguin Random House has taken on a truly ambitious project to re-record all 40 audiobooks from Sir Terry Pratchett’s bestselling Discworld series, featuring a cast of leading names from British stage and screen, with the first subseries publishing in April 2022.
