AMC Studio’s series Mayfair Witches has been renewed for a season two. The production for the film is set to begin in the later half of this year in New Orleans.
“We are thrilled with the reaction to this series, especially in the wake of the incredibly strong reception to Interview, and can’t wait to bring the fans second seasons of both series in this rich, vibrant and expanding universe based on the works of Anne Rice,” Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks, was quoted as saying by a Variety report.
Mayfair Witches, based on Anne Rice’s best selling trilogy “Lives of the Mayfair Witches’, follows neurosurgeon Rowan Fielding (played by Alexandra Daddario) who discovers she’s the heir of a family of witches and has to protect them from a sinister presence.
Jack Huston, Tongayi Chirisa, and Harry Hamlin form the rest of the cast. Esta Spalding is the show runner and executive producer. “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,” Esta Spalding said.
