The show is part of what AMC has dubbed its “Anne Rice Immortal Universe,” along with “Interview with the Vampire” and the upcoming “The Talamasca,” starring Elizabeth McGovern, Nicholas Denton and William Fichtner.
“Mayfair Witches” is based on Rice’s “Lives of the Mayfair Witches.” Per AMC, Season 2 “continues the journey of Rowan Mayfair (Alexandra Daddario) after she has unwittingly given birth to the demon Lasher (Jack Huston). She is determined to understand what he has become – human or monster? – and to use him to fulfill her purpose as a healer, but when tragedy strikes, she must put aside her own desires and fight to protect her family.”
The series is executive produced by Mark Johnson, showrunner Esta Spalding, Tom Williams, Michelle Ashford, Christopher Rice and the late Anne Rice, and is produced by AMC Studios. Here is a first look at some photos from Season 2 of “Mayfair Witches.”
