AMC Renews Anne Rice's MAYFAIR WITCHES with Alexandra Daddario For Season 2
AMC has renewed Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches for a second season. This isn’t surprising as the series has become the network’s number one new series on its AMC+ streaming service. I just started watching it and so far it’s really good, I’m enjoying it.
Mayfair Witches stars Alexandra Daddario (Percy Jackson, The White Lotus) as Dr. Rowan Fielding, “an intuitive young neurosurgeon who discovers that she is the unlikely heir to a family of witches. As she grapples with her newfound powers, she must contend with a sinister presence that has haunted her family for generations.”
The series is part of the Anne Rice universe that AMC is building, which also includes Interview with the Vampire. There are also plans for a crossover of the two shows, which will be interesting to see.
Producer Mark Johnson said in a statement: “The success of both Mayfair Witches and Interview with the Vampire once again illustrates the strength and mastery of Anne Rice’s work. The fact that these first two shows are performing so splendidly with a TV audience gives us much pride in what we’ve already done and great anticipation for the storytelling opportunities yet to come.”
Showrunner and executive producer Esta Spalding added: “Anne Rice’s Lives of the Mayfair Witches is a sumptuous epic tale that we’ve only begun to explore. I’m so grateful to the fans and viewers of the show who’ve given us the chance to continue telling this story.”
Mayfair Witches also stars Jack Huston, Tongayi Chirisa and Harry Hamlin. Production on Season 2 is set to begin later this year in New Orleans.
