Get ready for a spellbinding surprise! Michiel Huisman is joining the cast of 'Mayfair Witches' Season 3, and this addition is already stirring up excitement among fans. But here's where it gets intriguing: Huisman’s character, Michael, is no ordinary figure. Described as a carpenter who built and runs his own inn, Michael harbors a dark secret that threatens to unravel when he falls for Rowan Mayfair (played by Alexandra Daddario). Could this forbidden love story be the catalyst for chaos in the already mystical world of the Mayfair witches? And this is the part most people miss: Huisman’s casting isn’t just a random choice—his proven track record in gripping dramas like Game of Thrones, The Haunting of Hill House, and the upcoming The Abandons makes him a perfect fit for this complex, secretive role. But is Michael a hero, a villain, or something in between?
Huisman joins a stellar ensemble, including returning stars Alexandra Daddario, Harry Hamlin, Tongayi Chirisa, and Alyssa Jirrels, as well as newcomer Betsy Brandt. With production already underway in Vancouver, Season 3 promises to dive deeper into the mythology of witchcraft, introduce new ‘spellbound’ families, and explore the historical happenings of Salem, MA—the town infamous for its witch trials and folklore. But here’s the controversial question: Will this season’s focus on Salem overshadow the Mayfair family’s story, or will it enrich it?
Executive produced by Mark Johnson, the mastermind behind the Anne Rice Immortal Universe for AMC Networks, and co-showrunners Esta Spalding and Thomas Schnauz, this season is shaping up to be the most ambitious yet. With Michelle Ashford and Tom Williams also on board, the creative team is pulling out all the stops. But will they strike the right balance between mythology and character development?
Huisman’s recent roles in Echo 3, Angela Black, The Flight Attendant, and films like Rebel Moon and The Other Lamb showcase his versatility, but it’s his ability to embody morally ambiguous characters that makes his casting in Mayfair Witches so compelling. Is Michael’s dark secret tied to the supernatural, or is it something far more human?
As fans eagerly await Season 3, one thing is clear: Mayfair Witches is doubling down on its blend of romance, mystery, and witchcraft. But what do you think? Is Michiel Huisman the perfect choice for Michael, or would you have cast someone else? And what secrets do you think Michael is hiding? Let us know in the comments—this is one conversation you won’t want to miss!
