Watch Mayfair Witches Season 1 Trailer
The recently released official trailer for Mayfair Witches is likely to remind you of Interview with the Vampire but without any of the bloodsucking undead. It’s more likely that the dark, gothic tone and the suspenseful plot are shared by both stories. Based on the preview, it appears that Rice’s perspective on witches will be similar to that of her other stories, with the protagonist being a naive newcomer who must learn about the Mayfair dynasty in order to uncover her own true identity.
The trailer also hints that this fantasy story will be a cut above the norm by showcasing visually stunning and slightly trippy camerawork. It’s like being transported into a video game. Beyond the fantastical backdrops, viewers can expect to learn about witchcraft’s mysterious roots through examinations of magic, mythology, secret societies and more. The clip below is a promotional video that emphasizes Rowan as “the key.”
Who will appear as the cast of May Mayfair Witches Season 1?
Mayfair Witches, from AMC, features an intriguing ensemble cast led by Alexandra Daddario (The White Lotus), Harry Hamlin, Tongayi Chirisa, and Jack Huston. Dr. Rowan Fielding (Daddario), a neurosurgeon who discovers her family’s history with the Mayfair dynasty of witches is the protagonist of the story.
Co-starring with them are Hamlin as Cortland Mayfair, the current Mayfair family patriarch, Chirisa as Ciprien Grieve and Danny Huston as a shape-shifting entity with centuries of ties to the Mayfair family. Grieve is not a direct adaptation from the novels; rather, he is a composite of two other characters from The Witching Hour, Michael Curry and Aaron Lightner.
Other regular cast members include Annabeth Gish as Rowan’s estranged mother Deirdre Mayfair, Beth Grant as Rowan’s sister Carlotta Mayfair, Erica Gimpel as Rowan’s sister Ellie Mayfair and Jen Richards as Rowan’s friend Jojo.
Who are the Creators of Mayfair Witches Season 1?
This AMC series is the brainchild of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul producer Mark Johnson and stars Breaking Bad creators Esta Spalding and Michelle Ashford. Spalding is a renowned American poet, novelist and screenwriter who has contributed to such shows as The Bridge (FX), Battle Creek (CBS), Masters of S*x (Showtime) and On Becoming a God in Central Florida.
Author of The Pacific on HBO and producer of Masters of Se* on Showtime, Ashford has been nominated for an Emmy for his work in both fields. The directors of Mayfair Witches are Michael Uppendahl (Mad Men), Haifaa Al-Mansour (Tales of the Walking Dead), and Axelle Carolyn (The Midnight Club). Additionally, Christopher Rice, Anne Rice’s son and Anne Rice are listed as executive producers.
What will be the story of Mayfair Witches Season 1?
Drawing from Anne Rice’s first novel in the trilogy, Mayfair Witches follows the story of Rowan, a young neurosurgeon based in California. Rowan learns much to her surprise after the recent death of her estranged mother, Deirdre, that she is the new heiress to a certain famous Mayfair family. She learns she has special abilities just like her ancestors as she delves deeper into her family tree.
Rowan has a lot on her plate between figuring out how to use her new abilities and coming to terms with her newfound identity and battling a dark presence that has been a part of her family for generations. If the show is renewed for a third season it will be able to adapt the remaining two novels in the series.
Where is the Mayfair Witches Season 1 Filmed?
New Orleans, where Rice was born and where the antebellum mansion featured in The Witching Hour is set, served as the filming location for Mayfair Witches. The final episode of the show was filmed in early September of 2022.
