The Vampire Lestat Episode 6 includes several Mayfair Witches connections
It’s actually fitting that AMC should drop the first “Mayfair Witches” Season 3 teaser trailer during the penultimate episode of “The Vampire Lestat,” which establishes several new connections between the two Anne Rice shows.
The first is less consequential: Lestat (Sam Reid) casually mentions to Louis (Jacob Anderson) that he was in a book club with Cortland Mayfair, the nefarious character played by Harry Hamlin on “Mayfair Witches.” This news is as much of a surprise to Louis as it is to the viewers.
The second connection is far more concrete: Louis and Lestat pay a visit to Merrick Mayfair (Sarah Afful), a member of the family from Rice’s novels that we have yet to meet on “Mayfair Witches.” They meet with her in the hopes of contacting Claudia (Delainey Hayles) from beyond the grave — and their dearly departed daughter has alotto get off her chest.
