Based on The Lives of the Mayfair Witches novels by Anne Rice, Mayfair Witches follows Daddario as a neurosurgeon named Dr. Rowan Fielding. Rowan discovers a dark power inside her and learns that she is a member of the Mayfair family, a group of powerful witches. As she dives into her family history, the doctor finds herself haunted by a sinister presence. She must figure out how to control her powers in order to fight back.
During a Television Critics Association panel ahead of the Mayfair Witches premiere, Daddario called the series “perverse” and “very disturbing.”
“There are things that feel familiar. It’s very perverse, a lot of beats. It’s very, very disturbing in these very uniquely psychological ways that only Anne Rice could do,” Daddario shared. “And we’re trying to bring that into the show. We are bringing it into the show. So, I just think it’s incredible to do something that is based on an Anne Rice novel and also bring that sort of unique touch of weirdness and just her investment in the dark side of human nature with no rejection of it. That creates a real unique genre piece, I think.”

Who is Alexandra Daddario’s husband?
Fans of Daddario might also recognize her husband, Andrew Form. He has produced several hit films, including Friday the 13th, The Purge, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. In an interview with Vogue, Daddario shared the sweet story of how she and Form met in 2020.
“I was waiting for my co-op to approve me so I was sleeping on an acquaintance’s couch and would take frequent walks,” she explained. “He was also on a walk, and we passed each other downtown. He turned back and said ‘hi’ just as I was turning around to glance back at him. I laughed and said ‘hi,’ and then we both laughed about how we were the only two people on what is normally an incredibly busy street, and he asked if he could take me to dinner.”
Daddario and Form got engaged in August 2021 and tied the knot a year later in New Orleans, the same city where Mayfair Witches was filmed.
Mayfair Witches airs on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on AMC. New episodes are also available on Thursdays on AMC+.
