Johnson and Spalding both have overall deals with AMC. In announcing the Vampire series order, AMC enlisted Mark Johnson ( Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) to steer its Rice franchise. Mayfair Witches is the second in AMC’s planned Rice universe and joins Interview With the Vampire, which was picked up to series last summer after the cabler landed rights to both titles and 16 others as part of a deal with the author in May 2020.
