    AMC Opens Writers Room for Anne Rice’s “Lives of the Mayfair Witches”

    When AMC announced they had picked up the options for pretty much all of author Anne Rice‘s iconic tomes, we were absolutely ecstatic. Rice, who’s impactful “Interview With The Vampire” sort of started a creature of the night modern renaissance, created rich worlds with dark and beautiful (albeit whiney) characters.

    The deal wasn’t JUST for “Interview With A Vampire” and corresponding titles (like “Vampire Lestat,” “Queen of the Damned,” “Armand,” and more), but also included “The Mayfair Witches” series, which [SPOILER] does eventually tie into the Vampire Chronicles.

    Today’s news, shared during AMC’s TCA presentation, included confirmation that a writer’s room for a yet-to-be-greenlit Mayfair Witches project had opened. “Masters of Sex” Esta Spaulding and Michelle Ashford have been named as writers and executive producers of the possible series. If the series *is* ordered, Spaulding would serve as showrunner.

    We’re not gonna lie- the Mayfair Witches will be a hell of a thing to adapt for television. Supernatural elements, ghosts, incest and more will certainly fill any voids tent pole series like “Game of Thrones” left in the zeitgeist.

    We’ll let you know what we hear about his and other projects, and of course, any news on the Vampire Chronicles series.

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
