Mayfair Witches is the second AMC series based on Anne Rice’s hugely successful works of gothic fiction, following on from the acclaimed Interview with the Vampire in 2022, and part of a shared fictional world dubbed the Immortal Universe.

It was released on AMC in January 2023. It stars the Emmy-nominated Alexandra Daddario as Rowan Fielding, a gifted paediatric neurosurgeon with a terrible birthright that is unveiled when she appears to make an arrogant colleague haemorrhage just by willing it.

The discovery leads her to New Orleans, where she learns of her connection to the dysfunctional Mayfair family – her uncle Cortland (Mad Men’s Harry Hamlin), her overbearing aunt Carlotta (Six Feet Under) – and the demonic entity called Lasher (Jack Huston) that’s haunted them for generations – and has now set his sights on Rowan.

Mayfair Witches season 1 is an intoxicating brew of superstition, tragedy, hedonism, and dark romance. A second season has already been greenlit, and we can’t wait to delve deeper into the twisted Mayfield family history.
