The third season of 'Mayfair Witches' is stirring excitement, especially now with the news that Michiel Huisman has joined the cast—an addition that’s sure to catch the attention of fans and newcomers alike. But here’s where it gets interesting: Huisman’s involvement isn’t just a minor role; he’s stepping into the character of Michael, a skilled carpenter who owns and operates a cozy inn he built himself. Yet, beneath this seemingly simple life lies a hidden darkness, and his world begins to unravel when he develops feelings for Rowan Mayfair, played by Alexandra Daddario.
Huisman isn’t new to the screen; he gained widespread recognition portraying Dario Naharis over three seasons on HBO’s 'Game of Thrones.' His more recent television appearances include series like 'Echo 3,' 'Angela Black,' 'The Flight Attendant,' and the chilling 'The Haunting of Hill House.' Fans can also look forward to seeing him in the upcoming Netflix series 'The Abandons,' created by Kurt Sutter. On the big screen, his credits include the Netflix movies 'Rebel Moon,' as well as 'The Other Lamb,' 'The Last Right,' and 'The Age of Adaline.' Managed by top agencies like UTA and others, Huisman continues to build a diverse and impressive acting portfolio.
'Mayfair Witches' was officially renewed for a third season during AMC’s upfront event earlier this year, and production is currently underway in Vancouver. The show promises to delve even deeper into the rich mythology surrounding witchcraft, introducing new 'spellbound' families and exploring pivotal moments from Salem, Massachusetts—a town historically infamous for its witch trials and folklore. This season is set to blend historical intrigue with supernatural storytelling, offering viewers a compelling mix of history, mysticism, and drama.
Leading the creative team is executive producer Mark Johnson, who manages the Anne Rice Immortal Universe for AMC. The series is co-created and helmed by showrunners Esta Spalding and Thomas Schnauz, with additional executive production from Michelle Ashford and Tom Williams. And with this expanded focus on Salem’s dark past and mystical secrets, the third season is shaping up to be even more captivating than before.
