lamia were only the beginning , it seems . The AMC web has just announce that its version ofAnne Rice ’s beloved novelInterview With the Vampire(which recently castSam Reid as Lestat ) will be joined by a Mayfair Witches series , ground on Rice’sLives of the Mayfair Witchesbook trilogy .
Although the books , which came out in the former 1990s , were all bestsellers upon publication , they ’re not nearly as well known as Rice ’s Interview With the Vampire and the Vampire Chronicles serial publication it kick off . Mayfair Witches seems quite complicated , but here are the basics . Like many of Rice ’s book , it ’s set primarily in New Orleans , where a Dr. named Rowen Mayfair let out she ’s the a la mode in a foresightful - time family of hefty witches . Of naturally , it ’s not closely so straightforward as that , as there ’s multi - generational drama , a secret company poke about , and a cryptic , malefic entity named Lasher that has stalk the family for centuries in hopes of regaining a corporeal consistency .
Having read the Wikipedia sum-up for the three Mayfair books , my doubtfulness is : how in the hell is AMC run short to adapt this ? Because the books seem to be filled with sexual violence , taboo - breakage , and other pretty disconcerting things . Just leave off the presumed nudeness would not extenuate these picture ’ problematic cores at all , peculiarly in term of their sheer volume . I suppose the connection must have some idea of how to conform the show without it making Game of Thrones ’ many problems pretty meek in comparison , but we ’ll see .

Characters from the Mayfair Witches novels make appearances in three books in the Vampire Chronicles series , meaning if all goes well for the two serial the potential for a crossing over is quite high . In total , AMC has the live - action version rights to 18 of the source ’s novels , so chances are Interview and Mayfair are only the beginning of this burgeoning Rice - a - verse .
Esta Spaulding and Michelle Ashford , who both worked on Showtime ’s series Masters of Sex , will both write and bring on Mayfair Witches , while Spaulding will also serve as the showrunner . The show has a very generalized release date of 2022 , as does Interview With the Vampire . We ’ll keep you post .
