“Mayfair Witches” and “Interview with the Vampire” are both doing so well for AMC that it shouldn’t be a surprise that it has its own department devoted to bringing the prolific author’s work to the screen. Mark Johnson, executive producer on “Witches” and the head of Anne Rice IP at AMC, enthused to The Hollywood Reporter: “The success of both Mayfair Witches and Interview with the Vampire once again illustrates the strength and mastery of Anne Rice’s work.” He continued, “The fact that these first two shows are performing so splendidly with a TV audience gives us much pride in what we’ve already done and great anticipation for the storytelling opportunities yet to come.” Note the use of the phrase “first two shows” in Johnson’s statement, a clear indication that the network is planning even more adaptations from Rice’s famously prodigious body of work.
It’s exciting news for Rice fans, and for anyone who’s enjoying the first season of “Mayfair Witches.” Filming on the show’s second season is reportedly set to begin in New Orleans later this year. New episodes from Season 1 of “Mayfair Witches” are currently airing on Sunday nights on AMC.
