Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches is based on the novel trilogy Lives of the Mayfair Witches by Anne Rice.
Mayfair Witches stars Alexandra Daddario as Rowan Fielding, Harry Hamlin as Cortland Mayfair, Tongayi Chirisa as Ciprien Grieve, and Jack Huston as Lasher.
Joining season two is Ben Feldman as Sam Larkin, Rowan's former boyfriend, the CEO of a genetics startup & Alyssa Jirrels as Moira Mayfair, Rowan's cousin who has the power to read minds.
Mayfair Witches is the second television series set in the Immortal Universe, a shared universe based on Rice's novels, with the series in April 2025, being renewed for a third season.
In Australia I believe this streams on AMC+, however it's also streaming for free on ABC iView.
I am late to the party streaming the second season, so I avoided spoilers for a hot minute. If you are still not up to date, please stop reading now!
In their wedding chamber, Emaleth and Lasher talk about the upcoming birth of their Taltos children.
Julien (in Cortland's body) gives Rowan drugged tea and is taken to an underground cell where she meets Ciprien and Polina, who were captured earlier. While Emaleth is in labor, Lasher is convinced to go to the woods with Julien and Ian for a ceremony, only for Ian to slit his throat and gathers his blood.
Moira escapes from her cell and disguises herself as a Scottish Mayfair, finding out through her telepathy their horrific plans for Lasher & Emaleth children.
Rowan, Ciprien and Polina escape and find Lasher in the woods. Rowan revives him with her healing powers while Ciprien & Polina call for back up. Moira meets up with Rowan and Lasher and reveals the Scottish Mayfair's plans.
Lasher, Rowan and Moira confront Ian & Julien regarding the Taltos children. Ian threatens Lark's life, but Julien reveals the stitching spell has been broken leaving Scottish Mayfairs vulnerable. Lasher and Rowan fight off Ian & other Mayfairs, while Moira and Lark try to get the Taltos children.
Amintha kills Lasher with an axe in the chest. Julien discovers Ciprien & Polina have taken the Taltos children and summons lightening, killing Polina. Rowan confronts Julien, only for him to disappear.
Rowan drinks Lasher's blood, gaining more magical power.
Later, Lark states he cannot be a part of the "war" Rowan is preparing between her and Julien. Rowan makes a tea for Lark to drink so he can forget her & anything involving the Mayfairs.
Rowan and Moira arrive back home in New Orleans, bringing back Daphne and Jojo from the thrall.
Outside the deteriorating First Street House, Rowan looks on while Julien watches from a distance.
I for the most part had no idea what I was watching this season. It was honestly all a blur. It is definitely not as good a series as Interview with the Vampire.
Interview with the Vampire will also be back, most likely before the third season of the Witches. With two years in between seasons one and two, season three is probably a few years away.
Seeya next time kids!
