'Mayfair Witches' Renewed by AMC for Season 3

The Witches are back at Mayfair as AMC has renewed the series based on the works of Anne Rice for another season, expanding her universe with the network. Some more tea? But of course, Thomas Schnauz (Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul) is joining the crew as co-showrunner. Esta Spalding will remain this season as well. Spalding commented on the renewal stating, “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.” Thomas Schnauz added to Spalding’s statement saying, “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.”

I have to admit out of the entire universe, Mayfair Witches does not rank high for me but hearing that Season 3 will take place in Salem, Massachusetts gives me hope that this new season may be interesting enough for this writer to tune in. If you are unfamiliar with the significance of Salem (why are you even watching this show if you aren’t), of course Salem is home of the witch trials. A witch is just not safe in that town to be honest. 

Seems like the series is poised to introduce a coven full of new characters. Dan McDermott who is President of Entertainment at AMC Studios for AMC Networks had this to say about the renewal, “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.

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.”  

This should tie in nicely with the end of season two where our main witch girly leveled up her powers. We can safely assume that Tongayi Chirisa, Jack Huston, Harry Hamiln and Alyssa Jirrels will be returning for season three. Should anything change, The TV Cave has you covered so keep it locked right here. 

Don’t forget rounding out the Anne Rice universe is Interview With the Vampire which is coming back next year and The Talamasca: The Secret Order, starring Elizabeth McGovern and Nicholas Denton will drop in the fall sometime.
