Mayfair Witches is set to make its long-awaited debut on January 8, 2023. The horror series based on Anne Rice’s novel will star Alexandra Daddario in the lead role. The series will follow three series by the famous author, with the first episode focusing on The Witching Hour. It will be eight minutes. As the trailer shows, the new thriller has a very dark twist. The synopsis for the film reads as follows:
“Neurosurgeon Rowan Fielding has a problem — when she gets mad, she kills with her mind; her search for answers sends her toward her secretive biological family; in New Orleans, Deirdre Mayfair is desperate to escape from her aunt’s oppressive house.”
The filming location of the Mayfair Witches is an important part of the series. It is mostly filmed in New Orleans, Louisiana. Read on for more details.
Mayfair Witches was filmed in New Orleans, and Prytania Street was reportedly used as one of the most important locations in the movie. Production ends in 2022. The photography area is important because it is the birthplace of the author, Anne Rice.
Since Rice drew heavily from her surroundings while writing the novel, most of the film will take place in New Orleans to maintain authenticity. Speaking about shooting at Mayfair House, Harry Hamlin (who played Cortland Mayfair) said:
“Oh, it’s great. What an amazing place to film. They also recreated a lot of it on sound stage too. But we filmed in the house, which was… to just be inside there and soak in the history of that house was truly amazing.”
Other cast members also spoke about the filming experience. Tongayi Chirisa (who plays Ciprien Grieve) said:
“We can’t really get that, but we can get a similar one. So, as Harry says, they reproduce on the outside, but some things on the inside, they have to do.” on stage. But I think the spirit of New Orleans and the spirit of Anne Rice is there because we’re filming on the same street where the house is.”
Alexandra Daddario has been seen filming at the Soria-Creel house on Prytania Street, which will be one of the most important landmarks in the series.
Chirisa spoke about the city of New Orleans saying:
“And just interacting with people and how much people knew of who she was… getting pedestrians talking about who she was, this house, and Anne, it just added so much more value to what we’re doing. And you actually walk into this space with a little more reverence.”
The series also stars Jack Huston as Lasher, Annabeth Gish as Deirdre Mayfair, Beth Grant as Carlotta Mayfair, Erica Gimpel as Elena Fielding, and Jen Richards as Jojo.
The Mayfair Witches episode will begin airing on January 8, 2023 and will continue until February 26, 2023. The initial reception was poor, but this program could win over its followers in future programs.
