AMC’s Mayfair Witches is a blockbuster hit, and there is no denying that. The series left everyone on their toes when Rowan entered the magical world. However, after watching the epic cliffhanger ending, many are curious to know how things will be played off in Mayfair Witches Season 2. Will Rowan return to take her revenge? Or is it the end of Mayfair Witches? You don’t have to fret. That’s because the network has already revealed how things will move now. So, instead of speculating, let’s see what the creator has cooked for us.
Based on Anne Rice’s Lives of the Mayfair Witches novel series, the show focuses on neurosurgeon Dr. Rowan Fielding. Her life takes a dark turn when she discovers that she is the heiress of the powerful witches’ dynasty. After being haunted by an evil spirit, Rowan delves into her roots to get a proper answer. But this change of events takes her to the magical and mysterious world, revealing a darker truth that changes her from the core. Now, it remains to be seen how she handles everything.
Mayfair Witches Season 2 Is Back
The first season of Mayfair Witches debuted in January 2023 and ran until February of the same year. The series was undoubtedly the most talked-about show on AMC as it focused deeply on the modern world and its connection with historical mythology. That certainly left the fans on their toes as they wished to see more of Rowan and how she deals with the new challenges. While the audience still wanted to see more of Rowan, they were treated with positive news.
Just after the first season concluded its story arc, AMC confirmed that the Anne Rice series will return with another season. That’s right! Mayfair Witches Season 2 is happening. The show was officially renewed for the second season in February 2023. However, information on the second season was scarce thanks to the Hollywood strikes, which further affected the series’ production.
At 2024’s San Diego Comic-Con, the production committee confirmed that the series had wrapped up filming. Although the series’ filming date wasn’t shared, it did reveal that filming wrapped in mid-2024. Currently, the series is in the post-production phase. Typically, post-production takes five to six months to conclude, so we can expect it to conclude this year.

Mayfair Witches Season 2 Cast Details
The first season witnessed the deaths of some of the fans’ favorite characters, so it seems like they won’t return for Mayfair Witches Season 2. Rowan Fielding’s cousin Tessa (played by Madison Wolfe) died in the first season, so she won’t return. In addition, her mother, Deirdre (played by Annabeth Gish), and aunt, Carlotta (played by Beth Grant), won’t be a part of the second season. All these characters won’t return for the second season unless they return in the form of a flashback.
In addition, the production committee has announced that several new cast members have been added. These include Ted Levine as Julien, Cortland’s sinister father. Alyssa Jirrels will join the series as Moira Mayfair, the revenge-seeking witch, and Thora Birch will join the show as Gifford Mayfair. Besides them, the series’ main cast members will also return. These include Alexandra Daddario as the powerful witch Rowan. Harry Hamlin as Cortland Mayfair will also return as Jack Huston as Lasher and Tongayi Chirisa as Ciprien.
What To Expect In Mayfair Witches Season 2?
The second season of Mayfair Witches will focus on the second book of the series, Lasher, which will focus on the titular character instead of Rowan. The pilot season’s finale was epic, focusing on Rowan, who turned Cortland to stone. After this incident, Rowan disappeared with a newborn child. It was revealed that the child was destined to become Lasher. So, now, the second season will focus on Lasher’s story arc. Things are going to get more dramatic, and fans will love them too.
While the series will focus on Lasher’s arc, the series co-showrunner Esta Spalding told TVLine that the upcoming season will focus on a time jump. It will see Rowan with an adult Lasher. It will revolve around Lasher’s training and how his power will create a big difference in the end. As for Rowan, she will remain an active part of the storyline. While Rowan’s arc is concluded in the book, the series follows a different storyline as it features Rowan, who remains the central part of the show.
