‘Mayfair Witches’ Season 3 Teaser Released and Premiere Date Confirmed
AMC’s Immortal Universe has been steadily expanding its shared world of vampires and witches, utilizing crossover appearances and interconnected mythology to keep fans engaged across various shows. This strategy proved effective again this past weekend when the network used one of its most popular current series to hint at what lies ahead for a beloved show that has been on pause. The timing felt intentional.
‘Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches‘ first debuted in January 2023, following neurosurgeon Rowan Fielding as she discovers her ties to a powerful lineage of witches while grappling with a menacing entity linked to her family for generations. The series returned for a second season in January 2025 and was officially renewed for a third season that April, but fans have been eagerly awaiting updates on the next chapter of the story. That wait came to an end over the weekend.
AMC unveiled the first teaser for ‘Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches’ season three during the penultimate episode of ‘The Vampire Lestat,’ confirming that the series will return in 2027 on AMC and AMC Plus. The brief clip features Alexandra Daddario’s Rowan Fielding as she approaches a patient on a gurney, her eyes darkening before she begins to levitate, suggesting her powers are escalating to a more perilous level as the new season approaches.
According to the official synopsis, season three will shift much of the narrative to Salem, Massachusetts, where the show will delve deeper into witchcraft mythology, introduce new spellbound families, and incorporate some historical events related to the town’s notorious witch trials. This change in setting marks a significant shift from the New Orleans backdrop that characterized the first two seasons, indicating that the show is ready to broaden its horizons.
Daddario will reprise her role alongside Harry Hamlin as Cortland Mayfair, Tongayi Chirisa as Ciprien Grieve, and Alyssa Jirrels as Moira Mayfair, with Michiel Huisman also returning as Michael, whose relationship with Rowan is expected to encounter new challenges this season. The upcoming season will also introduce several new characters, including Betsy Brandt as Katherine, James Frain as Solomon, Eliza Scanlen as Jessica, and Omar Maskati as Leo.
Showrunner Thomas Schnauz, who joins the series for its third season, expressed his excitement about collaborating with AMC and executive producer Mark Johnson again, noting that the work he has done with fellow showrunner Esta Spalding on the new season has been genuinely thrilling, as stated in a comment to Vital Thrills. Spalding echoed this enthusiasm, describing the forthcoming season as a contemporary twist on the Salem narrative that promises to be the show’s most captivating chapter yet.
The choice to debut the teaser during ‘The Vampire Lestat’ was certainly not coincidental, considering how directly this week’s episode connects to the broader Mayfair mythology. This episode introduced Merrick Mayfair, a character from Anne Rice’s novels who has yet to appear on her own show, as Louis and Lestat sought her assistance in contacting their deceased daughter Claudia. The same episode even had Lestat casually mention being part of a book club with Cortland Mayfair, further intertwining the two series.
With filming having concluded back in February, as per comments Schnauz made on social media at the time, the show has evidently been in post-production for several months while AMC awaited the perfect moment to unveil new footage. Pairing the reveal with a Mayfair connection already unfolding on-screen in ‘The Vampire Lestat’ provided the studio with a natural opportunity to remind fans that this segment of the Immortal Universe remains vibrant. Specific premiere dates for 2027 have yet to be disclosed.
