The upcoming AnneRices MayfairWitches is the 'best adaptation of Rice's work yet.' Read our full review here:
Throughout human history, magic has long been a fascinating subject, but one aspect of that mysterious and supernatural world — witches — has always held its own particular fascination.
Mayfair Witches, arguably, has the harder job when it comes to adapting Rice's work for screen in that The Witching Hour is a huge novel, one with a complicated story that spans centuries as it not only traces the history of the women of the Mayfair family and their relationship with the supernatural entity known as Lasher , but also coalesces that history around one extremely powerful witch, Rowan Mayfair .
Yet, while Spalding and Ashford do give us a story that is faithful to the books, there are certainly some changes. Going into the series, fans of Rice's novels are aware that Michael Curry, a major character in the novels, does not appear in the series with Ciprien Grieve , a character who is something of a combination of Michael and another character from the novels, instead taking his place.
Working from the beautifully constructed story, the performances in Mayfair Witches are top-notch as well. Chirisa's Ciprien may not be Michael Curry or Aaron Lightner from the novel and doesn't exactly have traits of either, but his performance in this somewhat original and familiar space is compelling. He's quickly a character you want to know more about.
Adaptations can be difficult to get right, and it can be especially daunting when the thing being adapted is deeply loved and the most recent adaptation from the same general universe was so wildly well-regarded, as has been the case with AMC's Interview With the Vampire, but Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches surpasses expectation.
