Mayfair Witches
Anne Rice's New Orleans witches, in the same continuity AMC built for the vampires.
Mayfair Witches opens with a main title sequence of 36 seconds.
At 36 seconds, it opens well under the 50-second median for horror sequences in this catalogue.
It arrived on AMC in 2023, when The Night Manager, Fear the Walking Dead and Snowpiercer were also on the network.
