AMC has given the green light for a third season of its supernatural drama Mayfair Witches, based on the novels by Anne Rice. Additionally, Thomas Schnauz (Better Call Saul) has come aboard as co-showrunner alongside series co-creator Esta Spalding.
Here’s the Lowdown: The renewal secures the show’s future as part of AMC’s expanding Anne Rice television world. Season 3 is set to explore connections to Salem, a historic center of witchcraft. Alexandra Daddario stars, alongside Tongayi Chirisa, Jack Huston, and Harry Hamlin.
What This Means Now: The continuation of the series allows for further development of the Mayfair family saga. Bringing in Schnauz, known for his work on acclaimed AMC dramas, suggests a specific creative direction and potentially elevates the writing team for the upcoming season.
The Bigger Picture: This renewal reaffirms AMC’s investment in building a multi-show universe based on Rice’s works. The network expressed enthusiasm for exploring a wider world of witchcraft and digging deeper into the Mayfair family’s secrets, indicating long-term plans for the franchise.
