BBC Snaps Up Spooky New Drama “Mayfair Witches”
The BBC has just landed the chilling supernatural drama “Mayfair Witches”, based on Anne Rice’s bestselling novels. This eight-part series, produced by AMC NETWORKS, will air on BBC Two and stream on iPlayer. Expect magic, mystery, and plenty of dark family secrets.
Star-Studded Cast with Supernatural Powers
The show stars Emmy® nominee Alexandra Daddario (The White Lotus), Jack Huston (House of Gucci, Fargo), Harry Hamlin (Mad Men), and Tongayi Chirisa (Palm Springs, Antebellum).
Daddario plays Rowan, a gifted neurosurgeon who suddenly discovers she’s heir to a powerful family of witches. As she explores her unsettling new powers, Rowan must battle a dark force haunting her family for generations. The story promises a thrilling mix of female empowerment and supernatural suspense.
Following the Success of “Interview with the Vampire”
The BBC’s new pick comes hot on the heels of Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire, which won rave reviews on BBC Two. Sue Deeks, BBC’s Head of Programme Acquisition, calls Mayfair Witches “a darkly distinctive and atmospherically rich companion” to that hit series.
Top Talent Behind the Scenes
The BBC secured UK rights from AMC NETWORKS, with executive producers Esta Spalding (Masters of Sex, On Becoming a God in Central Florida) and Michelle Ashford (Masters of Sex, The Pacific, John Adams) leading the charge alongside Mark Johnson.
The episodes are directed by an impressive team: Michael Uppendahl (1 & 2), Axelle Carolyn (3 & 4), Haifaa al-Mansour (5 & 6), and Alexis Ostrander (7 & 8).
