Mayfair Witches: Alexandra Daddario Is a Spooked Heir in First Photos From AMC's Anne Rice Adaptation

AMC on Wednesday morning not only gave its Interview With a Vampire series an early renewal, it also conjured a first batch of photos from its adaptation of the late Anne Rice’s “Lives of the Mayfair Witches” book series.

Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches (early 2023 premiere date TBD) focuses on an intuitive young neurosurgeon, Dr. Rowan Fielding (played by The White Lotus‘ luminous Alexandra Daddario), who discovers that she is the unlikely heir to a family of witches. As Rowan grapples with her newfound powers, she must contend with a sinister presence that has haunted her family for generations.
