"Mayfair Witches" Renewed for Season 3

AMC and its sibling streamer AMC+, have picked up a third season of "Mayfair Witches", which is part of its Anne Rice universe. 

Along with the renewal, the cable network announced that "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul" alum Thomas Schnauz is joining the series as co-showrunner alongside Esta Spalding.

Season three will be set in Salem, Massachusetts — where the infamous witch trials of the late 17th century took place — and will delve deeper into the mythology of witchcraft and introduce new characters, AMC says.Business

“The drama and complexities of the Mayfair family continue to be an intriguing and enchanting source of story, and expanding that story against the backdrop of Salem, a historical haven of witchcraft, is an exciting next chapter for this series and our larger Anne Rice Immortal Universe,” said Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks. “Tom Schnauz has a storied history with AMC, and we’re elated to have him join the talented Esta Spalding and our Mayfair cast for a season that will explore a larger world of witchery and Mayfair family secrets as we continue to build out this dynamic franchise.”

Season two ended with Rowan (Alexandra Daddario) attaining a new level of power, albeit at a sizable cost. Spalding told The Hollywood Reporter after the finale that she hoped to explore that more in a third season. “When you have the power she has you can’t just, as she says, sit on your hands and act like a good girl,” Spalding said. “So I think there’s something in a season three where we would be exploring Rowan’s quest for that feeling again.”

Spalding said in a statement about the renewal, “I am thrilled to welcome Tom Schnauz to our team for the third season of Mayfair Witches. A contemporary twist on the Salem story, it promises to be our most delicious yet.”

Added Schnauz, “I’m incredibly excited to reunite with both AMC and [executive producer] Mark Johnson on Mayfair Witches. The work I’ve done so far with Esta Spalding on season three has been fantastic and fun, and we’re hoping that translates to the screen for fans and new viewers of the show.”

"Mayfair Witches" also stars Hamlin, Tongayi Chirisa and Alyssa Jirrels. Spalding and Schnauz will executive produce season three with Johnson — who oversees all three shows in the Rice-verse for AMC — Michelle Ashford and Tom Williams.

As for AMC’s other Anne Rice series, "Interview With the Vampire" is slated to debut its third season in 2026. New entry "The Talamasca: The Secret Order", starring Nicholas Denton and Elizabeth McGovern, is set to premiere in the fall.
