Why Lasher was the biggest challenge for MayfairWitches showrunners
Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches debuts Sunday night on AMC and AMC+ and while bringing to life iconic author Anne Rice's beloved novel The Witching Hour and larger The Lives of the Mayfair Witches trilogy to life for television is no small feat, according to the showrunners, there was one aspect that was particularly challenging: Lasher.
"But it has to be scary and seductive, and it disappears, but it can't be silly," Spalding said."But I have to say, Mark, you should talk to this too, because I feel like at the very beginning when we were sending you drafts of the pilot, you'd often start by saying, 'Let's talk about Lasher. What are we saying?'"
"I think that Esta and Michelle worked out the perfect balance. We see enough of Lasher and are confused and dazzled and any number of things by Lasher the way he is," Johnson said."So, I think he scared me because I wasn't quite sure how to render him. And the two of you really came up with a solution."
"Then we got Jack Huston, and it was like, 'He can do all of this,'" she said."So that was very lucky."
