AMC's Mayfair Witches Renewed for Season 3

AMC Networks has confirmed the renewal of Anne Rice's 'Mayfair Witches' for a third season, which will be set in Salem, Massachusetts, a town famously associated with witch trials. This new season promises to explore the mythology of witchcraft further and introduce new 'spellbound' families, with a focus on Salem's historical context. Emmy-winning producer and writer Thomas Schnauz, known for his work on 'Breaking Bad' and 'Better Call Saul,' joins as co-showrunner alongside Esta Spalding. The renewal comes after the successful conclusion of the second season, which saw Rowan Mayfair, played by Alexandra Daddario, embark on a quest for power. The series is a part of AMC's Anne Rice Immortal Universe, which also includes 'Interview With the Vampire.' The addition of Schnauz, along with the new setting, is anticipated to enrich the storytelling with deeper narratives and expanded universe connections.
