Twisted 2-Season Fantasy Horror on Netflix Will Keep You Hooked


New Orleans is brewing with magic, death, and witch hunts in Mayfair Witches. The AMC drama is a sinister good time, with a stylish flair for dramatics and spells. Alexandra Daddario stars in the series as a blossoming witch coming into her powers as she embraces her own independence. The series, based on Anne Rice’s Lives of the Mayfair Witches, carries the same haunted southern charm Rice brings to all her works. After Season 2 premiered in 2025, Mayfair Witches is set to return for Season 3 in 2027.

Mayfair Witches is one of many AMC series available on Netflix. For those who love the stylish and mega-popular American Horror Story: Coven, this series is the perfect next watch. Both shows, in addition to embracing a similar Southern Gothic aesthetic, are set in New Orleans and follow a coven of witches keeping an eye out for potential threats to their magic as all-out war brews.

What Is ‘Mayfair Witches’ About?

Rowan Fielding’s character: Alexandra Daddario stars as Rowan Fielding, a successful pediatric neurosurgeon with gifted abilities that strangely allow her to save just about any patient she operates on. Strange occurrences: When strange things start to happen after she becomes angry, Rowan accidentally injures one man and kills another, discovering that she may have powers she never knew she had. Search for identity: Since she’d been adopted as a baby, Rowan ventures to New Orleans to track down her birth mother and seek answers about her true heritage as a Mayfair.
