AMC has today renewed its original drama series Mayfair Witches for a third season. Moreover, Thomas Schnauz has signed on as co-showrunner on the new season alongside series co-creator Esta Spalding.
The drama stars Alexandra Daddario, Tongayi Chirisa, Jack Huston, Ben Feldman, Alyssa Jirrels and Harry Hamlin.
Spalding and Schnauz executive produce with Mark Johnson, Michelle Ashford, Tom Williams, Christopher Rice and the late Anne Rice. AMC Studios and Gran Via Productions produce.
"The drama and complexities of the Mayfair family continue to be an intriguing and enchanting source of story, and expanding that story against the backdrop of Salem, a historical haven of witchcraft, is an exciting new chapter for this series and our larger Anne Rice Immortal Universe," said Dan McDermott, President of Entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks. "Tom Schnauz has a storied history with AMC, and we're elated to have him join the talented Esta Spalding and our Mayfair cast for a season that will explore a larger world of witchery and Mayfair family secrets as we continue to build out this dynamic franchise."
"I am thrilled to welcome Tom Schnauz to our team for the third season of Mayfair Witches," added Spalding. "A contemporary twist on the Salem story, it promises to be our most delicious yet."
"I'm incredibly excited to reunite with both AMC and Mark Johnson on Mayfair Witches," shared Schnauz. "The work I've done so far with Esta Spalding on Season 3 has been fantastic and fun and we're hoping that translates to the screen for fans and new viewers of the show."
