Happy Halloween, witches and witch fans! AMC has released a seasonally appropriate trailer for the second season of The Mayfair Witches—one full of things going bump in the night (or day) and a lot of chaotic witch/demon child activity. In fact, you might say this trailer is mostly chaos, after a relatively quiet beginning in which the voices of two women sum up the current problem: “Lasher’s been born. He grows in these wild spurts. Something is very wrong.”
The summary for season two is somewhat cryptic:
Based on Anne Rice’s Lives of the Mayfair Witches, season two of Mayfair Witches continues the journey of Rowan Mayfair (Alexandra Daddario) after she has unwittingly given birth to the demon Lasher (Jack Huston). She is determined to understand what he has become—human or monster?—and to use him to fulfill her purpose as a healer, but when tragedy strikes, she must put aside her own desires and fight to protect her family.
Along with Daddario and Huston, Mayfair Witches stars Tongayi Chirisa as Talamasca agent Ciprien Grieve, Harry Hamlin as Cortland Mayfair, and Ben Feldman as Sam Larkin. The series is, of course, part of the Immortal Universe of Anne Rice adaptations, alongside Interview with the Vampire and the upcoming The Talamasca.
Mayfair Witches, from showrunner Esta Spalding, returns to AMC/AMC+ on January 5th, 2025.
