The Comic-Con panel for Interview With the Vampire not only revealed Lestat’s musical transformation but also hinted at exciting developments for the Mayfair Witches. The second season of Mayfair Witches is currently in production in New Orleans and will feature eight gripping episodes. Among the new cast members are Alyssa Jirrels, Ted Levine, and Thora Birch.
New Locations and Characters
In Season 2, viewers can expect to explore new locations, including Scotland, as the show introduces fresh characters. Callan McAuliffe will portray Abel Mayfair, Franka Potente will bring Annamieke to life, and Ian Pirie will play Ian Mayfair. During the panel, Alyssa Jirrels shed light on her character, Moira Mayfair, who harbors a grudge against the family and Lasher for her sister Tessa’s tragic demise.
Alexandra Daddario’s Complex Role
Alexandra Daddario, who plays Rowan in Mayfair Witches, faces a complex emotional journey. Her character grapples with conflicting feelings toward her newborn baby. Daddario describes it as a mix of desire and parental love, making the storyline both “messy” and “confusing.” The show’s exploration of these themes, drawn from Anne Rice’s rich literary legacy, promises to be fascinating.
