Rice’s vampires and witches may live in the same city, New Orleans, but their lifestyles are very different. The Mayfair witches have a 13-generation history that may be traced back to Scotland. However, their history is tainted by a dark legacy that still haunts the family.

Trailer
The official trailer for Mayfair Witches highlights the dark, gothic atmosphere and the tension-laden storyline that both stories will likely share.
According to the trailer, Rice’s perspective on the life of witches will be seen through the eyes of an unaware, untrained novice who will delve into the history of the Mayfair family to find her true identity, as she has done in her other stories.
Through the magnificent and slightly trippy cinematography, the teaser also demonstrates that this fantasy story will be a few notches over and above what we are used to seeing in the genre.
It’s like playing a narrative game. Aside from the magical settings, the series will also explore magic and folklore, secret groups, and other aspects of witchcraft that will make the experience more intriguing.
