According to The Hollywood Reporter, AMC has renewed Anne Rice’s (Queen of the Damned) Mayfair Witches for a third season. The network and its streaming platform AMC+ have picked up and renewed the series for a third installment continuing Rice’s universe.

AMC stated that the third installment will be set in Salem, Massachusetts, where the infamous witch trials of the late 17th century took place. The season will dive deeper into witchcraft and even introduce new characters.

“The drama and complexities of the Mayfair family continue to be an intriguing and enchanting source of story, and expanding that story against the backdrop of Salem, a historical haven of witchcraft, is an exciting next chapter for this series and our larger Anne Rice Immortal Universe,” said Dan McDermott (Angela’s Eyes), president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks. “Tom Schnauz (Breaking Bad) has a storied history with AMC, and we’re elated to have him join the talented Esta Spalding (Falling Angels) and our Mayfair cast for a season that will explore a larger world of witchery and Mayfair family secrets as we continue to build out this dynamic franchise.”

“When you have the power she has you can’t just, as she says, sit on your hands and act like a good girl,” Spalding said. “So I think there’s something in a season three where we would be exploring Rowan’s quest for that feeling again.”

Spalding said in a statement about the renewal, “I am thrilled to welcome Tom Schnauz to our team for the third season of Mayfair Witches. A contemporary twist on the Salem story, it promises to be our most delicious yet.”

Added Schnauz, “I’m incredibly excited to reunite with both AMC and executive producer Mark Johnson (Rain Man) on Mayfair Witches. The work I’ve done so far with Esta Spalding on season three has been fantastic and fun, and we’re hoping that translates to the screen for fans and new viewers of the show.”

All current seasons of Mayfair Witches are available to stream on AMC+.
