Anne Rice's MAYFAIR WITCHES Renewed For Season 3 Where the Story Will Move to Salem
AMC has announced that they have renewed Anne Rice‘s Mayfair Witches for a third season. The story is moving from New Orleans, where the first two seasons were set, to Salem, Massachusetts in season 3. Emmy winner Thomas Schnauz (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) is joining the series as co-showrunner with Esta Spalding, who co-created the series with Michelle Ashford.
Based on Rice’s Lives of the Mayfair Witches trilogy of novels, the show stars Alexandra Daddario, Harry Hamlin, Tongayi Chirisa, and Alyssa Jirrels.
Season 3 will dive deeper into the mythology of witchcraft, introduce new ‘spellbound’ families and feature some of the historical happenings of Salem, the infamous town of witch trials and folklore.
Dan McDermott, President of Entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks, said of the series:
“The drama and complexities of the Mayfair family continue to be an intriguing and enchanting source of story, and expanding that story against the backdrop of Salem, a historical haven of witchcraft, is an exciting next chapter for this series and our larger Anne Rice Immortal Universe.
“Tom Schnauz has a storied history with AMC, and we’re elated to have him join the talented Esta Spalding and our ‘Mayfair’ cast for a season that will explore a larger world of witchery and Mayfair family secrets as we continue to build out this dynamic franchise.”
