Will there be a Mayfair Witches Season 3? Speculations explored

AMC’s Mayfair Witches, adapted from Anne Rice’s Lives of the Mayfair Witches trilogy, has captured viewers with its intricate storytelling and darkly fascinating characters. Following the release of the first episode of Season 2 on January 5, 2025, fans are already buzzing with questions about whether the series will return for a third season.

Although AMC has not officially announced a renewal, several factors suggest that the supernatural drama may continue its spellbinding journey. The official summary of the show reads as below:

A renowned neurosurgeon discovers that she is the heiress of a powerful family dynasty of witches which is haunted by an evil spirit for generations.

The Mayfair legacy began its eerie, shadowy journey deep into Season Two with the New Focus and highlight on Rowan Fielding, a character played by Alexandra Daddario.

After the very shocking ending of the first season, Rowan is here to deal with the fallout stemming from her entanglement with the demon Lasher and her obligation well discussed in her lineage.

Some new characters, like Moira Mayfair and Julien Mayfair, introduced to us by Alyssa Jirrels and Ted Levine, respectively, make the story even more interesting and complex.

The series has managed to keep up with the trend of power, identity, and destiny while being suspenseful and well acted. With a successful first season, Mayfair Witches lives on to be a stable power for the AMC lineup.

Furthermore, it is simply much more dearer to AMC as a programming component with its immersion into the “Immortal Universe” the network has created for Anne Rice's adaptations, along with the popular Interview with the Vampire.


What Could Influence Season 3?

There have been no formal announcements thus far regarding Season 3, but quite a few factors indicate that the show may continue. The massive source material derived from Anne Rice's trilogy assures the adaptation will have many plots to flesh out.

The first two seasons, of course, only skimmed the surface of the vast saga of the Mayfair family, leaving behind many untold tales. Then, of course, it is tied within the "Immortal Universe," another factor. AMC has invested heavily in building a tight-knit movie universe through Anne Rice's works, given this long-term investment, most visible with the successful run of Interview with the Vampire.

Indeed, this strategy of creating a shared universe goes well with the larger creativity and commercial ambition that AMC seeks to pursue because it increases the chances of more seasons to come.

This entirely depends, also, on how critics and audiences respond to the show. Atmospheric storytelling delivered through superb performances has been appreciated in Mayfair Witches; a few mentions would be incomplete without Alexandra Daddario's Rowan.

In case the momentum generated in Season 1 is maintained or increased in Season 2, the base for a renewal will only strengthen.

The number of viewers must be kept under close watch. However, while rating statistics for Season 2 are not yet out, the popularity it managed to garner during Season 1 makes it possible for the course to be projected as favorable. The network's decision will be influenced by its continued popularity on social media and streaming platforms.


Although AMC has not officially announced whether Mayfair Witches will be renewed for another season, the early signs are promising. The well-structured narrative of the series, its connection to the developing "Immortal Universe," and a treasure trove of source material indicate that there's strong reason for continued existence.

While fans wait with anticipation for news, one thing is clear: there are far more secrets to uncover in the dark and compelling tale of the Mayfair family.
