Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches (2023) is a drama and fantasy series from AMC+. It has built a run of 16 episodes. It premiered on January 5, 2023. Viewers rate it 6.1 out of 10. It is currently running. It runs 3 seasons.
What Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches Is About
Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches centers on an intuitive young neurosurgeon who discovers that she is the unlikely heir to a family of witches. As she grapples with her newfound powers, she must contend with a sinister presence that has haunted her family for generations.
What to Expect When You Watch
The format keeps each instalment self-contained enough to drop into, the full run covers 16 episodes, spread across 3 seasons and it leans into its drama/fantasy roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Alexandra Daddario, Jack Huston and Tongayi Chirisa to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Alexandra Daddario, Jack Huston, Tongayi Chirisa, Harry Hamlin, Ben Feldman and Alyssa Jirrels lead the cast.
Key roles include Alexandra Daddario as Rowan Fielding; Jack Huston as Lasher; Tongayi Chirisa as Ciprien "Sip" Grieve; Harry Hamlin as Cortland Mayfair; Ben Feldman as Sam "Lark" Larkin.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of drama, fantasy and supernatural have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside AMC+’s other originals, a 6.1/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2023 and carried by AMC+ with the series still running, it lands hardest with drama and fantasy viewers.
How Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches Compares
If Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches lands for you, the next stops are Breaking Bad, Firefly and The Wire, which share its drama/fantasy lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.

The Bottom Line
Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches is a safe bet for anyone already inside the drama and fantasy lane, at 16 episodes it is an easy run to work through, the audience score holds around 6.1/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
