Anne Rice's Lives Of The Mayfair Witches

"Mayfair Witches" is in the early stages of development. However, it's slated to debut in 2022, which seems optimistic given AMC is still playing catch up due to COVID-19-related delays on its most highly-anticipated shows. Part 2 of Season 11 of "The Walking Dead" premieres on February 20, 2022, but the release dates of the final seasons of "Killing Eve" and "Better Call Saul," and the new scripted series "Dark Winds," "Moonhaven," and "Tales of the Walking Dead" are all TBA.

According to Collider, "Interview with the Vampire" should begin filming in New Orleans in December, six months after AMC announced the series had been greenlit (via Deadline). If "Mayfair Witches" follows suit, production will begin during the dog days of summer in 2022. Ideally, "Interview with the Vampire" will ignite interest in AMC's future Anne Rice projects. "2022 will be the biggest year for original programming in the history of our company, and we are literally over the moon that it will now include the first two series in an expanding Anne Rice universe built around stories and characters that have captivated millions of fans around the world," said Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks (via Deadline).

However, with a six month lag time between the two small-screen adaptations, "Lives of the Mayfair Witches" may attempt to scoop up crestfallen fans of "A Discovery of Witches," which begins airing its final season in January 2022, rather than piggybacking off the anticipated success of "Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire."
