The second installment of AMC’s Immortal Universe, Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches, debuts on AMC and AMC+ on Sunday night. The series follows close behind the network’s hit, Interview With the Vampire and while both series are based off the late author’s novels, the source material is very different. Mayfair Witches is based off the trilogy The Lives of the Mayfair Witches, with the first season mainly focused on the first novel, The Witching Hour, a complex and lengthy novel that spans generations of women, telling their stories just as much as it does its more central character, Rowan. Adapting a book like The Witching Hour is a massive undertaking and in an interview with ComicBook.com, showrunners Michelle Ashford and Esta Spalding explained what made them want to take on the beloved and complex novel to bring it to life on the small screen.
