Interview with the Vampire/Mayfair Witches Will Have "Connections"

Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches EPs Esta Spalding and Mark Johnson are promising stronger connections with Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire

It's not like fans of Anne Rice's works don't already know the connections. And it's not like there wasn't already a reference to the Mayfair family in AMC's first adaptation. But Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches EPs Esta Spalding and Mark Johnson are promising stronger connections with Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire as both series move forward. During today's Television Critics Association winter press event, Johnson confirmed "ongoing conversations" are underway to connect the two shows. "I think if we continue, you will see a lot of connections, both in terms of characters, in terms of geography — some of them sort of fun, some of them almost like Easter eggs, and we very much want to tie the worlds together in a way that makes sense," Johnson shared. "[Mayfair Witches and Interview With the Vampire are] completely separate on one hand, but thematically, just in terms of Anne Rice — the way she deals with characters and the way she presents them — we want to find a way to have that all fluid throughout the various shows," he added. In fact, Spalding offered the heads-up that there's already one character who connects the series in "strange ways" and that she's "waiting for somebody to figure it out."
