Mayfair Witches Season 2: Release Date, Cast, Story & More!

AMC's Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches, starring the captivating Alexandra Daddario as the powerful witch Rowan Fielding, is returning for a second season! After that successful debut in January 2023; this supernatural drama—part of the Immortal Universe franchise–has been renewed for another run; showing those strong performances from the earlier installment and continuing the work of a widely acclaimed and extremely popular author: Anne Rice! This continuation was announced fairly shortly after that initial run, giving fans an exciting continuation.

Season 1 adapted The Witching Hour (the first in Rice's trilogy). It was, to put it lightly, long; necessitating major plot changes. Season 2 focuses on the sequel: Lasher— and even uses Lasher as a key character; yet another big plot shift, that wasn't directly seen in the book! Now let's get to those important details! This supernatural drama should be viewed by people curious about new television and it delivers very exciting plotlines! It does involve many aspects related to exploring the inner lives of female characters in intense situations, that deserves special consideration when evaluating it critically.

The writers of Mayfair Witches take on Lasher, which unlike Season 1 puts Lasher (rather than Rowan) at the forefront. It was also revealed in an interview (TVLine) by showrunner Esta Spalding that this second installment brings an interesting plot which includes Rowan and a grown-up Lasher; showing Rowan as an actively engaged, pivotal player throughout the story! That's not seen much in Rice’s books! This demonstrates an entirely different approach toward the same set of source material.
