AMC's Mayfair Witches returns for Season 2 on the back of a killer cast headlined by former True Detective star Alexandra Daddario.
Based on Anne Rice's trilogy of novels, the horror thriller series follows a young woman who is thrust into a world of magic after she finds out she is the descendant of a long line of witches who are being haunted by a devilish spirit.
Season 2 is set to adapt the events of Rice's second book in the series, Lasher, following Daddario's Rowan Fielding as, unbeknownst to her, she gives birth to the very demon that has plagued her family for generations, the dastardly Lasher.
Every Main Character and Actor in Mayfair Witches Season 2
Alexandra Daddario - Rowan Fielding
Alexandra Daddario leads Mayfair Witches yet again as series protagonist Rowan Feilding. Rowan was once a renowned neurosurgeon who in Season 1 learned she is the heiress to a long line of powerful witches.
After being possessed by a mysterious spirit known as Lasher, Rowan gave birth to a baby boy who happened to be housing the evil spirit.
Season 2 sees Rowan picking up the pieces after Lasher's births, as she is skeptical she could have possibly mothered something so demonic.
Fans may know Daddario from her work in titles such as True Detective, Baywatch, and White Lotus Season 1 (Season 3 of which is set to kick off with a new cast in February).

Harry Hamlin - Cortland Mayfair
Sitting just below the head of the Mayfair family is the venerable Cortland (played by Harry Hamlin).
