Mayfair Witches season 2 release date, cast and latest news
Fans have been left with questions after a shocking season finale.
It's time to head back into the world of the Mayfair Witches as season 2 returns to TV screens!
Returning as Rowan Fielding, a neurosurgeon who discovers that she is the unlikely heir to a family of witches, is Alexandra Daddario, and she is joined by a whole host of new and impressive cast members too.
Based on Anne Rice's novels, season 2 picks up with Rowan's journey following the birth of demon Lasher (Jack Huston). But what else is set to take place?
Here's everything we know so far about Mayfair Witches season 2
Mayfair Witches season 2 release date
It has been confirmed that Mayfair Witches season 2 will premiere on Sunday 5th January on AMC and AMC Plus.
The series was renewed for a second season very quickly, with the renewal confirmed just halfway through season 1 airing.
Will Mayfair Witches season 2 be released in the UK?
It has not yet been confirmed when season 2 will air in the UK, however we expect there to be a rather long wait.
Considering the fact that season 1 also came to the BBC 10 months later than it aired on AMC, we could once again expect a delay for UK viewers.
Who will star in the Mayfair Witches season 2 cast?
We'd be expecting a range of the cast from season 1 to return, including:
- Alexandra Daddario as Dr Rowan Fielding
- Jack Huston as Lasher
- Tongayi Chirisa as Ciprien
- Harry Hamlin as Cortland Mayfair
Some new castings have also been announced! We're set to welcome the following stars to the show:
- Thora Birch as Gifford Mayfair
- Ted Levine as Julien Mayfair
- Alyssa Jirrels as Moira Mayfair
Actors Birch and Levine will guest star in the new series, while Jirrels will be a new series regular. Gifford is described as a self-deprecated tarot reader, while Julien is the father of Cortland – and a master manipulator.
Moira, meanwhile, is Rowan's cousin and a mind-reader – and she's certainly not happy about the death of her sister, Tessa.
Of course, we're not expecting to see Beth Grant back as Carlotta after the character's death in season 1.

Mayfair Witches plot: What could it cover?
According to co-showrunner Esta Spalding, the second season will cover the second of Anne Rice's books.
She told Entertainment Weekly: "We've gone to the second book, and again, we have only so many episodes, [so] we're gonna mine it for the wonders, riches and strangeness that is there.
"That's kind of really the tease, more than anything. There's a whole section in the book where Rowan is in Europe and there's some stuff in Scotland and there's a bunch of generations in Scotland.
"Of course, we touched on Scotland in this season, but that has been really exciting to think about for the second season."
With the news that season 2 has gone into production, AMC also shared a tidbit, teasing: "Rowan is no longer the only key witch in the Mayfair story."
Is there a trailer for Mayfair Witches season 2?
Yes! The trailer for season 2 was released late last year, teasing what's to come for Rowan. You can watch the full trailer below.
Mayfair Witches season 1 is available to stream on BBC iPlayer now.
