Mayfair Witches is a supernatural thriller drama TV series based on Anne Rice's novel Lives of the Mayfair Witches. It's the second TV series in the Immortal Universe, a shared world based on Rice's novels. The show premiered on AMC on January 8, 2023.
The plot of the show revolves around The Mayfair family, whose history goes back 13 generations to Scotland, but it's haunted by a dark legacy. The story starts with neurosurgeon Rowan Fielding (Alexandra Daddario), who discovers she has a terrifying ability and begins searching for answers about her birth family.
Season 1 ended on February 26, 2023, with eight episodes, breaking viewership records on AMC+. Fans of the show are excited to see how season 2 will continue the story. This article covers all the important details about the new season of the show.
What is the expected release date for Mayfair Witches season 2?
The TV show Mayfair Witches landed on Netflix on August 19, and it's been a huge hit. Now that more people are watching, everyone's curious about when season 2 will arrive. The show got renewed for a second season in early February 2023, just a few weeks after it first aired. It's been a bit of a wait since season 1 ended, which might have been frustrating for fans. But now the wait finally seems to be coming to an end.
We don't have an exact date for season 2 yet, but it looks like it might drop in early 2025, maybe even January, based on a teaser that was shown at San Diego Comic-Con.
Plot of Mayfair Witches season 2
Season 2 of Mayfair Witches will pick up where Anne Rice's book left off, following Rowan Mayfair's journey after she unintentionally gives birth to the demon Lasher.
Since season 1 deviated from the original plot of Anne Rice's novel series, it's uncertain what to expect in season 2. In the book series, Rowan goes to Europe with Lasher, who has taken the form of her grown-up baby.
As Rowan learns more about herself, Lasher tries to create more versions of himself but fails. The story takes a new turn, putting Lasher in the spotlight as his influence and power grow. At the same time, Rowan faces tough challenges as a new mom to Lasher, dealing with the complexities of her new role and the dark secrets of her family's past.
Who will be the cast of Mayfair Witches season 2?
