Mayfair Witches Season 3 Enters Pre‑Production with Salem Shoot Set for Spring 2026

AMC Networks has officially launched Mayfair Witches into Season 3, with pre-production beginning this month and principal photography scheduled for early spring 2026 in Salem, Massachusetts. This renewal marks a fresh phase for the Anne Rice Immortal Universe, expanding the gothic horror drama beyond New Orleans and deep into the storied streets of historic witchcraft lore.

After wrapping Season 2 in early 2025 to strong viewership on AMC+, the series now transitions under the leadership of original showrunner Esta Spalding, joined by Emmy-winning Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul writer-producer Thomas Schnauz as co-showrunner. Their combined vision promises a seamless blend of dark mythology and emotionally charged family drama.

Series creator Alexandra Daddario returns as Rowan Fielding, supported by a core cast including Harry Hamlin, Tongayi Chirisa, Jack Huston, Alyssa Jirrels, and Annabeth Gish. Viewers can expect new “spellbound” families to emerge this season, deepening the sprawling mythos the series has been building since debuting in 2023.

Production will take place on location in Salem, Massachusetts—a town rich in supernatural ambiance and authentic architecture. With studio support expected from nearby facilities, the shoot presents unique opportunities for local and regional crew in roles across art department, scenic design, lighting, grip, and set decoration, especially in historically accurate environments.

Additional filming and pickup shoots are expected around Boston, offering varied backdrops—both urban and rural—that are essential for the series' blend of small-scale intimacy and expansive supernatural menace.

Above-the-line creative leadership includes executive producers Mark Johnson (who oversees the Immortal Universe), Michelle Ashford, Tom Williams, and Esta Spalding alongside Thomas Schnauz. Season 3 will bring together directors and department heads skilled at integrating period atmosphere with character-driven suspense.

For filmmakers, on-set talent, and technical crew, Mayfair Witches Season 3 offers exceptional career-building potential. Casting from the region, set construction crews, costume and make-up teams, VFX setup artists, sound technicians, and post-production personnel can expect a range of openings as the shoot gears up.
