Jen Richards on Tackling the Supernatural in ‘Mayfair Witches’ and Immortal Universe Crossover
Bleeding Cool : What does flirt in the Immoral Universe allow you to do as an player you would normally do in your other task ?
Get to see the future [ laughs ] as Jojo . We do it once in season one , maybe once in season two , where I have like a vision of the future . I ’ve never done any supernatural stuff . It was fun to be part of a witchy kinsperson and to be part of a world in which supernatural power are normal , at least within the family . To think about what it would be like to have a mogul like that impact your sprightliness and the determination you make , and there ’s a large moment between Courtland and me at the remainder of season one , where I talk about all the thing and ways I ’ve used my power for him .
I have built up a whole backstory about how Jojo ’s power to see the future has helped the Mayfairs make money and get their big businessman . Perhaps she saw something that precipitated a global crisis that appropriate our investments to shift or whatever , like the specific things they were . I always feel like she was help the fellowship , so the shock at the end of season one , coming into time of year two and realizing Cortland is basically evil or at least intensely selfish , done some terrible things , and for her to realise she ’s been complicit in a way . She ’s had this blind spot for her Courtland because he ’s always been so supportive of her , so it ’s fun territory to mine .
With the recent installment , things have been expanding with that creation . What possible action have opened , do you conceive , for the eventual crosswalk with the approaching ' Talamasca ' serial and the existing ' Interview with the lamia ? '
I entrust [ EP ] Mark Johnson at Gran Via [ production ] and the rest of the squad and the folks at AMC . They have a imagination for this drawn-out universe , and there ’s so much stuff to draw from within Anne Rice ’s write works . I ’m a author , first and foremost , and there are a couple of other Anne Rice books I would bonk to adapt , I think there ’s so much room and many great characters .
Many underage characters could easily be brought to the forefront , and there are whole aspects of the populace in the crossover that are rich for adaption . I bed that Gran Via is taking their time and step this out , jump with ' audience , ' then ' Mayfair , ' and having ' Talamasca ' coming out . I ’m excited to see what ’s next , and hopefully , we can keep grow , have more crossovers , and have this rich , hold up - in universe full of dynamical characters .
Mayfair Witches , which also starsAlexandra Daddario , Jack Huston , Tongayi Chirisa , Charlyane Woodard , Ben Feldman , andAlyssa Jirrels , airs on Sundays on AMC and is available to well out on AMC+ .
