The new AMC series, also known as Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches, is the most recent adaptation of novelist Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches trilogy.

Mayfair Witches focuses on the first book in the series, The Witching Hour, and follows Dr. Rowan Fielding, a neurosurgeon who discovers she is the heir and descendant of a powerful family of witches who appear to be possessed by a sinister ghost.

Esta Spalding, Michelle Ashford, Mark Johnson, Anne Rice (posthumously), and Christopher Rice are the executive producers of the supernatural fantasy horror series in addition to serving as its creators.

Release Date:

The initial release date for Mayfair Witches was January 5, 2023, but it was later changed to Sunday, January 8, 2023, airing only on AMC and AMC+.

Cast & Crew:

For Mayfair Witches, AMC has assembled an intriguing supporting cast led by Alexandra Daddario (The White Lotus), Harry Hamlin, Tongayi Chirisa, and Jack Huston. Along with Hamlin as Cortland Mayfair, the patriarch of the current Mayfair family, Chirisa as Ciprien Grieve, and Huston as a shape-shifting entity connected to the witches’ family for centuries, Daddario stars as the story’s protagonist, Dr. Rowan Fielding, a neurosurgeon who learns about her ancestry connected to the Mayfair dynasty of witches. Grieve is not a character that was directly adapted from the original books; rather, he is a hybrid of two characters from The Witching Hour: Michael Curry and Aaron Lightner.

Other recurring characters include Jen Richards as Jojo, Beth Grant as Carlotta Mayfair, Erica Gimpel as Ellie Mayfair, and Annabeth Gish as Deirdre Mayfair, Rowan’s estranged mother.

The Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul creators Esta Spalding and Michelle Ashford are behind the successful AMC originals, and Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul were both produced by Mark Johnson. American author, screenwriter, and poet Spalding is best known for his work on the television shows The Bridge on FX, Battle Creek on CBS, Masters of Sex on Showtime, and On Becoming a God in Central Florida on Showtime.

The Pacific on HBO and Masters of Sex on Showtime are two of Ashford’s most well-known writing and producing credits. He is an Emmy nominee. Michael Uppendahl (Mad Men), Haifaa Al-Mansour (Tales of the Walking Dead), and Axelle Carolyn are the directors of Mayfair Witches (The Midnight Club). Executive producers include Anne Rice and her son Christopher Rice.

Summary:

Mayfair Witches will centre on Rowan, a young neurosurgeon from California, the protagonist of the first book in Anne Rice’s trilogy. Rowan learns, much to her horror, that she is the new heiress of a certain prominent Mayfair family after the recent passing of her estranged mother, Deirdre. She discovers that she has special abilities as she learns more about her ancestry and past.

Rowan must contend with a dark force that has been a part of the family and has followed them for generations as she wrestles with her newly discovered powers and tries to adjust to her new identity. Future episodes of the series—should it be approved for subsequent seasons—might feature the remaining two novels in the series.
