Where Was Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches Series Filmed?
“Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches” is filmed in Louisiana, particularly New Orleans, which is also the birthplace of Anne Rice, the author of the source material.
Principal photography for the inaugural iteration starring Alexandra Daddario reportedly began in late April 2022 and wrapped up in early September of that year.

“Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches” is shot extensively in and around New Orleans, Louisiana’s most populous city. To be specific, the production team is primarily setting up camp in and around an old mansion called the Soria-Creel House at 3102 Prytania Street in the Garden District, which is the same street where Anne Rice’s actual house is located. To match the atmosphere of the series, he decorates the property appropriately, giving it a gloomy and desolate feel.

Most of the interior scenes are said to be filmed in one of the film studios in and around the city. In an interview with SK Pop in early January 2023, Tongayi Chirisa (Ciprien Grieve) shared his experience of filming on the same street where Anne Rice lived.
He said: “We couldn’t actually get the real one, but we managed to get one that was similar. And so, as Harry said, they were actually reproducing the external but internal things, they had to do it on stage. But I think the spirit of New Orleans and the spirit of Anne Rice lives on because we filmed on the same street that house was on.”
