We spoke w/ 'Mayfair Witches' EP Mark Johnson about developing Anne Rice stories for TV, and how the possibilities seem endless.
Executive produced by Michelle Ashford and showrunner Esta Spalding, who wrote the series premiere together, Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches follows Dr. Rowan Fielding , a young neurosurgeon discovering newfound powers that could have very dangerous consequences. As she tries to comes to terms with who she really is and learns what it means to be the heir to the Mayfair family of witches, a mysterious presence complicates everything.
MARK JOHNSON: I’m so incredibly proud of it. There’s nothing like it. The fact that we are at 99 on Rotten Tomatoes is just extraordinary. I think it’s bold. It’s very sexual. It’s a really compelling love story. It’s quite erotic.JOHNSON: Let’s face it, they’re radically different. They’re almost for different audiences, which is one of the appeals of Anne Rice. And then, we’re developing three other things, at the same time, all of them different.
You have these different creative teams that are all unique to their show, you have your showrunners for each show, you have your cast for each show, and you have your writing and directing teams for each show. With Mayfair Witches, what has it been like to work with Esta Spalding and Michelle Ashford, and the perspective that they have on the story?
JOHNSON: When Sam Reid was cast as Lestat, there was universal approval because he was blonde and the height was right, and all of that. Needless to say, Louis was very controversial, in that we had an African British actor playing the role. At some point, you have to say, “Okay, what are the characteristics of this character that you want and that you absolutely have to have?” And it’s not necessarily that he’s gotta be six foot three and have wavy hair, or whatever it is.
