“My good fortune as an executive producer of ‘Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire’ has now been more than doubled with what Esta Spalding and Michelle Ashford are imagining with The Mayfair Witches,” Johnson said. “We are so excited to join our partners AMC and Gran Via Productions in making this mysterious and provocative world come to life.”ĪMC Networks last year acquired the rights to Rice’s works, encompassing 18 titles including the Vampire Chronicles and Mayfair Witches series, with producer Mark Johnson, who also has an overall deal with AMC Studios, leading the development the full Anne Rice collection into a TV/streaming universe.
“The world of witches has fascinated and terrified for centuries, and yet Anne Rice’s particular lens on witches explored something new altogether – women who are powerful, and often brutal, and always committed to subverting our current power structures,” Spalding and Ashford said. As she grapples with her newfound powers, she must contend with a sinister presence that has haunted her family for generations. Spalding, who has an overall deal with AMC Studios, will serve as showrunner on Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches, which focuses on an intuitive young neurosurgeon who discovers that she is the unlikely heir to a family of witches.
There has been no decision yet on the other two writers rooms opened by AMC Studios in the same round for hourlong Invitation to a Bonfire and half-hour Demascus, with the latter exploring preliminary casting. The series order for Mayfair Witches, written and executive produced by Esta Spalding and Michelle Ashford and executive produced by Mark Johnson through his Gran Via Prods., comes three and a half months after AMC Studios opened a writers room for the project under AMC’s scripts-to-series model.
