Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches Episode 2 Preview: Rowan’s Losing Control

AMC’s Anne Rice series universe expanded in a very big way this past weekend, with Interview with the Vampire giving way to Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches. And without doing a deep dive this soon into spoilers, let’s just say that the season opener left Alexandra Daddario‘s Dr. Rowan Fielding with a whole lot to process and a whole lot of unanswered questions. Will she get the answers she needs with this weekend’s next episode, “The Dark Place”? Thankfully, we have a new promo and an interesting set of preview images to pass along to help you piece together the season’s puzzle (and no cheating with the books if you haven’t read Rice’s works yet).

Here’s a Look at Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches S01E02 “The Dark Place”

Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches Season 1 Episode 2 “The Dark Place”: Written by Mike Goldbach and directed by Michael Uppendahl, the next chapter finds Rowan (Alexandra Daddario) out of control and unfit to perform surgeries in the aftermath of Ellie’s death. Making matters worse, her paranoia that someone’s been following her has turned out to be true. Meanwhile, in New Orleans, Deirdre (Annabeth Gish) and her mysterious companion Lasher (Jack Huston), work together to bring Rowan home. Now, here’s a look at the preview images that were released as well as the promo for the January 15th episode:
