AMC has dropped the full Mayfair Witches trailer for the upcoming TV adaptation of Anne Rice’s supernatural horror novel series, which stars Alexandra Daddario. It is currently scheduled to make its debut on January 5 on AMC+.
The video introduces Daddario’s Rowan as she discovers that she comes from a family of witches. It highlights the Mayfair witches’ connection to the devil, who will be appearing before Rowan in different forms.
Based on Anne Rice’s Lives of the Mayfair Witches trilogy novel, Mayfair Witches hails from Masters of Sex‘s Esta Spalding and Michelle Ashford, who are both serving as writers and executive producers. Spalding is also set as the showrunner under her overall deal with AMC Studios.
The series will focus on an intuitive young neurosurgeon who discovers that she is the unlikely heir to a family of witches. As she grapples with her newfound powers, she must contend with a sinister presence that has haunted her family for generations.
The series adaptation will consist of eight episodes produced by AMC Studios. Christopher Rice is executive producing on all projects based on his late mother’s iconic works, which were acquired by AMC Networks in 2020. This serves as the second project in the network’s expanding Anne Rice universe, following the Interview with the Vampire series.
