Mayfair Witches has ensorceled enough viewers to secure a third season. AMC announced today that the supernatural drama will return next year. The series, part of AMC's Immortal Universe of series inspired by the works of Anne Rice, is also gaining a new co-showrunner, in the form of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul veteran Thomas Schnauz. He'll join Esta Spaulding, who shepherded the series through its first two seasons.

AMC promises that season three will introduce new magical families and will delve deeper into the history of witchcraft, including the infamous 17th century Salem Witch Trials: Spaulding promises the new season will be "...a contemporary twist on the Salem story, it promises to be our most delicious yet." The series is an adaptation of the Lives of the Mayfair Witches series of novels: the first two seasons loosely adapted the first two books of the series, The Witching Hour and Lasher,...

For Rowan and the other Mayfair witches, the events of the AMC series’ season two finale signal that the game is on, says showrunner Esta Spalding.

As fans saw on Sunday night, with the help of Ciprien (Tongayi Chirisa) and others, Rowan (Alexandra Daddario) succeeds in taking down the Scottish Mayfairs — headed up by Cortland’s (Harry Hamlin) brother Ian (Ian Pirie) — after they kill Lasher (Jack Huston) for the power of his blood. While Rowan is able to save Lasher, once in the fight to stop Julien, the other Mayfairs and save his children with Emaleth (Henessi Schmidt), he is felled.

In the lead up to his death, Julien’s intentions behind the sacrifice of both of his sons as well as Lasher come into starker focus, as does Julien’s necessity for Rowan and her power as part of a much larger plan...

[This story contains spoilers from Mayfair Witches‘ penultimate episode of season two, “A Tangled Web.”]

Alexandra Daddario doesn’t feel like she can trust Mayfair Witches’ leading lady Rowan Fielding — and she’s not sure you should either.

The star of the AMC series, the second in the Anne Rice Immortal Universe franchise, admitted as much while discussing Rowan’s fate and what’s ahead for her, Moira (Alyssa Jirrels), Lark (Ben Feldman) and Cortland (Harry Hamlin) ahead of Sunday’s episode, “A Tangled Web.” The penultimate episode of season two ended on a stomach-clenching cliffhanger, after Rowan and the others found themselves trapped in Scotland as unexpected guests of a wedding for a prophesied union.

When Lasher (Jack Huston) is seemingly taken from Rowan by the Talamasca, she discovers a more sinister plan is afoot that has whisked him away to Scotland. Crossing the Atlantic in hopes of finding and retrieving her son, her former (demon) lover, and a magical accelerant to her power and the Mayfair coven,...

Plot: Season two of Mayfair Witches continues the journey of Rowan Mayfair after she has unwittingly given birth to the demon Lasher. She is determined to understand what he has become – human or monster? – and to use him to fulfill her purpose as a healer, but when tragedy strikes, she must put aside her own desires and fight to protect her family.

Review: In 2024, AMC delivered a fantastic second season of their updated take on Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire. Concluding with where the first novel in Rice’s Vampire Chronicles ended and setting the stage for the third season to adapt the novel The Vampire Lestat, AMC’s other adaptation from the prolific author’s vast library continues to build a larger shared universe with the second season of Mayfair Witches. Also set in New Orleans, Mayfair Witches debuted in 2023 with a glimpse into the sorcery and...

The latest video for AMC’s upcoming Mayfair Witches Season 2 has dropped, teasing viewers about what's next for the supernatural drama’s main characters. The series is based on the Lives of the Mayfair Witches novel trilogy by acclaimed author Anne Rice.

The Mayfair Witches Season 2 behind-the-scenes video features showrunner Esta Spalding and the cast, including lead star Alexandra Daddario, as they discuss some of the key points of the next installment. They teased Lasher’s motives and complicated relationship with Rowan, after he managed to successfully reincarnate himself as Rowan’s child. According to Spalding, viewers will get to see a different side of Lasher, who begins to recall some memories from his past lives now that he has become human. The featurette also gives spotlight to the show’s newest characters in the form of Rowan’s family, including her powerful cousin Moira Mayfair, portrayed by Alyssa Jirrels.

How would the modern world cope with the coming of a fallen angel? How would science and religion collide and what if a “scientist” was in the centre of it all? Those are the questions Chris Smith’s Consecration asks.

Grace (Jena Malone) is summoned to the Mount Saviour convent deep in the Scottish Highlands following the mysterious death of her priest brother. Refusing to believe he committed suicide, and determined to discover what really happened, Grace starts her own investigation as the nuns prepare a consecration ceremony to purify the holy site. Soon she inadvertently shines a light on murder, sacrilege and a disturbing truth, relating to the forgotten years of her own childhood, intertwined with that of the convent’s holy...

“Consecration” is something you hardly see anymore: a Catholic horror movie that isn’t about exorcism. Yet after decades of “Exorcist” knockoffs, moviegoers have been conditioned to anticipate the clichés of demonic possession. We expect them to be delivered, and in a certain way they always are. For moviemakers have been conditioned that way too.

Set in a remote seaside convent in the Scottish highlands, “Consecration” presents the audience with a sinister Mother Superior (Janet Suzman) who talks about God as if he were the devil. She leads a batch of young nuns who smile with too much cultish devotion (one wears an eyepatch because she dug her own eye out after she thought she saw Satan). We keep waiting for the other demonic shoe to drop — to see a nun possessed, or a group of them gathered in a secret ceremony to conjure the Beelzebub of their dreams. All...

Sunset Song is renowned English director Terence Davies’ adaptation of Lewis Grassic Gibbon’s Scottish novel, a drama set in rural Scotland in the years just before and during World War I. Centered on a bright Scottish young woman named Chris, the film is a powerfully moving drama that is at once visually beautiful, in its depiction of the Scottish rural landscape, and realistic in its unblinking portrait of the harshness of working-class farm life and the devastating impact of war.

Agyness Deyn brilliantly plays the lead character, Chris Guthrie, whom we follow from her days as the brightest student in her rural school to her years as a young woman confronting the devastating horror of war from the home front. Chris is a girl who dreams of poetry and of becoming a teacher, and her kind-hearted mother Jean (Daniela Nardini) dotes on her gifted daughter,...

In season 3, Da Vinci's Demons is getting harder and harder to follow...

This review contains spoilers.

3.5 Anima Venator

Da Vinci's Demons has been kind of problematic for me throughout its third season thus far. It seems like everything is different, all the ideas of the first two seasons are just scrambled up to make everything a muddled, grey mess. Are the Sons of Mithras the bad guys? Are the Labyrinth bad guys? Sure, when you look at the surface, it's the bad guys like Carlo Medici and Riario involved in the Labyrinth and the Sons of Mithras have Leo's old ally Al-Rahim Aka The Turk (Alexander Siddig) and the true pope, Francesco (James Faulkner). However, one side is fighting to defend Italy and the other wide is actively assaulting and killing the people of the peninsula and by extension the Catholic Church.

Stuck in the middle are Florence and its famous son,...

"I am not frightened of you!" The official UK trailer has debuted for Terence Davis' new period romantic drama Sunset Song, about a daughter of a Scottish farmer coming of age during the early 1900s. Agyness Deyn stars as Chris Guthrie, and it's told as a sort of a triptych, with one segment focusing on her abusive father, the next when she meets and falls in love and eventually marries Ewan, played by Kevin Guthrie; finally, he goes off to fight in World War I and comes back shellshocked and violent, resembling her father. The cast includes Peter Mullan, Jack Greenlees, Niall Greig Fulton and Ian Pirie. This looks very powerful.

The gangster film is a staple part of the British cinema diet. Who can resist watching a few dodgy geezers shooting each other, whilst trading witty insults and still finding time for some banter and birds in between? Whilst the format of the genre has remained largely the same over the years, it was refreshed in the modern day through Guy Ritchie, who made a few solid films that have a fond place in the heart of many a cinema goer. The downside of this, however, is that it inspired an array of copycat films, from filmmakers who simply thought that jumping on the band wagon by adopting a certain style meant instant success. Enter Who Needs Enemies, perhaps the biggest culprit of them all.

This atrociously written, lazy film may as well be a collection of outtakes from every gangster film ever made, with scenes thought too poor to...
