In "Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches" — AMC's second adaptation of Rice's work after acquiring the filming rights to her "The Vampire Chronicles" and "The Lives of the Mayfair Witches" series shortly before her death — many of the main characters live beyond the standard rules of humanity, and one main character is not a human at all. No, not Lasher (Jack Huston). I'm referring to the Mayfair house itself.
In Rice's 1990 novel "The Witching Hour," the first of the series this latest adaptation is based on, we're introduced to the character Deirdre Mayfair, played by Annabeth Gish in the show. Held in a near catatonic state in an effort to keep her from Lasher, the entity tied to her family name for generations, Deirdre sits stoic on the balcony of the Mayfair residence, aging along with the beautiful mansion in the Garden District of New Orleans inspired by the very home that Rice herself lived in for 15 years.
