"The world of witches has fascinated and terrified for centuries, and yet Anne Rice's particular lens on witches explored something new altogether - women who are powerful, and often brutal, and always committed to subverting our current power structures. "We found our Rowan and can't wait for her to meet viewers later this year in a series being brilliantly conceived and led by Esta, Michelle, and Mark."

Daddario's Rowan is described as "a brilliant doctor who grapples with her fate as the heir to a family of powerful witches" (tying in nicely with the previously-released general overview). As she grapples with her newfound powers, she must contend with a sinister presence that has haunted her family for generations. AMC's upcoming series adaptation of Anne Rice's "Mayfair Witches" novels has apparently found its Rowan, with Variety reporting exclusively that Alexandra Daddario ( The White Lotus) has been cast in the lead role. Written and executive produced by Esta Spaulding ( On Becoming a God in Central Florida) & Michelle Ashford ( Masters of Sex), with Spaulding serving as showrunner, the series focuses on an intuitive young neurosurgeon who discovers that she is the heir to a family of witches.
