When it comes to the latest entry in AMC’s Immortal Universe, Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches, the series takes viewers deeper into the late author’s universe this time not with vampires, but into a world of magic and complicated family as we follow the story of the Mayfairs and their generations-long entanglement with the mysterious and sinister entity, Lasher. Set in the vibrant city of New Orleans, it’s a rich story with dark magical elements and mystery spanning both the past and the present. A big part of bringing the complicated story — which is based on the nearly 1000-page novel The Witching Hour — to life is the costumes. That task fell to costume designer Janie Bryant. Bryant is well-known for her work on a wide variety of series, including Mad Men, Deadwood, Yellowstone prequels 1883 and 1923, and many more projects. Bryant recently sat down with ComicBook.com to talk about her work on Mayfair Witches and how she brought the characters off the page and onto the screen.
