Mayfair Witches: Salem Coven - Everything We Know

Mayfair Witches: Salem Coven – Release Date, Teaser and Everything We Know So Far

After the haunting events of Mayfair Witches season 1 and season 2, the show is rebranding for its third season. Mayfair Witches: Salem Coven gives fans a hint at what lies ahead as the story shifts from New Orleans to Salem, Massachusetts.

Not much is known about the new season aside from a brief synopsis and two teasers (so far). What’s clear is that the series is building upon the foundation established by the late great Anne Rice. While some of the characters and stories are spun directly from her bestselling Lives of the Mayfair Witches trilogy, this new season is heading into uncharted waters.

The new season is executive produced by Anne Rice Universe overseer Mark Johnson, co-showrunners Esta Spalding and Thomas Schnauz, Michelle Ashford and Tom Williams. Schnauz joins Spalding as a co-showrunner in season 3.
