Mayfair Witches, the second installment in Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe to air on AMC and AMC+ after Interview With the Vampire, enjoyed a respectable.11 rating among adults 18-49 as of its January 8th, 2023 debut.
In addition, according to Variety, “The series best Interview with the Vampire” is presently the most-watched season of any series ever on AMC+ based on the first 30 days of viewership as it was the No. 1 new series launched on AMC+. As a result, Anna Rice‘s Mayfair Witches has been renewed for a second season at AMC, an unexpected but fantastic turn of events.
The supernatural thriller, starring Alexandra Daddario as Rowan Fielding, revolves around the life of a neurosurgeon (Daddario) who discovers that she genuinely possesses the innate powers of a powerful witch, one whose family members have been plagued by a terrible figure for generations.
Additionally, the series stars Harry Hamlin as Cortland Mayfair, Tongayi Chirisia as Ciprien Grieve, and Jack Huston as Lasher. The show’s executive producers are Mark Johnson, Michelle Ashford, Michael Uppendahl, and Jeff Freilich, with Esta Spalding serving as the showrunner.

When Was Mayfair Witches Renewed For A Second Season?
On Friday, February 2, 2023, Mayfair Witches received a formal second renewal. Based on Rice’s trilogy of books, the supernatural drama is the second installment of the Immortal Universe; the first was Interview With the Vampire, which was also given a second-season renewal.
President of Entertainment and AMC Studios of AMC Networks, Dan McDermott, released the following statement:
“We are thrilled with the reaction to this series, especially in the wake of the solid 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. In a business in which ‘nobody knows anything,’ we knew what we were hoping for in terms of building a television franchise around these remarkable characters and stories, and to see these shows arrive and captivate viewers in the way they have is so gratifying and energizing for everyone involved. There is so much yet to come.”
Mark Johnson, tasked with governing the Immortal Universe, continued, “The success of both Mayfair Witches and Interview with the Vampire again demonstrates the power and prowess of Anne Rice’s work.
We are proud of what we’ve already accomplished and eagerly anticipate the storytelling opportunities ahead because these first two episodes perform so well with a TV audience.
Esta Spalding, the show’s creator and executive producer, emphasized that “Anne Rice’s Lives of the Mayfair Witches is a beautifully epic tale that we’ve barely begun to explore.” The show’s viewers and admirers have provided the opportunity to continue presenting this narrative, for which I am eternally thankful.

The Mayfair Witches second season is anticipated to have eight episodes, just like in season one. The Mayfair Witches and Interview with a Vampire series are reportedly soon to cross over, as executive producer Mark Johnson stated during AMC’s most recent TCA Press tour.
The crossover, however, came about as a result of AMC’s choice to cancel five shows as part of a one-time write-down “that was aimed to uncover almost $400M in content savings.” (Deadline) Dan McDermott said that this process had been “tough but vital” and that it had been brought about by “too many shows,” escalating inflation, and an oppressive ad market.
Later this year, it is said that Mayfair Witches season 2 will start to be produced in New Orleans. For more release dates and plot updates on Mayfair Witches Season 2, stay tuned to Newswatchlist.com.
