Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches Ep. 1 Preview: Cortland Needs a Job Done

This weekend, AMC's Anne Rice series universe will be expanding in a big way, as "Interview with a Vampire" gives way to Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches. After blowing away viewers' expectations with IWTV (so when is that second season?), viewers (especially Rice fans) are curious to see how the newest adaptation stacks up with IWTV and defines itself as its own series (much like IWTV has defined itself as honoring while building upon Rice's work). So what better time than now for a sneak preview offering a look at Harry Hamlin's Cortland Mayfair, right? In the following clip, "Cortland's Selective Eye" helps him find just the right young man for a particular job…

Here's a look at your sneak preview for AMC's Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches, followed by a look back at the previously-released original trailer and featurettes:

And here's a look back at the cast as they take viewers into the world of Anne Rice's literary universe in the first featurette, followed by a look at the role that the power of women play in the series:

Written and executive produced by Esta Spaulding (On Becoming a God in Central Florida) & Michelle Ashford (Masters of Sex), with Spaulding serving as showrunner, Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches focuses on intuitive young neurosurgeon Rowan, who discovers that she is the heir to a family of witches. As she grapples with her newfound powers, she must contend with a sinister presence that has haunted her family for generations. Alexandra Daddario (The White Lotus) aka Rowan and Harry Hamlin (Mad Men, L.A. Law) aka Cortland Mayfair star, with Annabeth Gish (The Fall of the House of Usher; Midnight Mass) recurring as Diedre with Tongayi Chirisa (Palm Springs, Antebellum) on board as series regular Ciprien Grieve. Beth Grant (Rain Man, No Country for Old Men) is set to recur as Carlotta, with Erica Gimpel (God Friended Me) recurring as Ellie and Jen Richards (Her Story) playing Jojo. Jack Huston (House of Gucci, Boardwalk Empire) will be taking on the role of Lasher, a powerful, shape-shifting entity who has been bound to the Mayfair witches for hundreds of years.
