“In the case of Cortland Mayfair, who is kind of crazy about this whole picture, when I first read it, I saw something on the page that I thought if they were going to let me go into this, if they were going to let me out. out of my cage, this could be a very interesting character to play,” said Harry. hollywood life at the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour. “And sure enough, I started doing some stuff and they were like, ‘Oh, go ahead.’ I play probably the funniest character I’ve played since my first movie, which was called cinematic film in 1977.”

For Tongayi, she has always found the fantasy genre “attractive” and where she plays with other genres within it. “I remember seeing Interview with the vampire with Tom Cruise. I didn’t know who it was, but that movie was forever etched in my mind. Just to be a part of that new cycle of books and this new world that they’ve created is a dream come true.”

The first episode of witches of Mayfair made history as the debut of the new series no. 1 in AMC+ history. The show is just turning up the volume in terms of drama. “After episode 5, things start blowing up,” Harry joked. “You start to find out who all these people really are, what their underlying agenda is, and then who knows what happens in season two, but I’m sure you’re aware of what this bravado What is being done here is opening up these stories and amalgamating some of the characters and creating new situations that aren’t necessarily in the book, but using the same characters, the same spirit, the same music if you will… over the years, God. pleasing.”

I will do whatever it takes to make sure things work out no matter what. You’ll find out after episode 5,” Harry revealed.

As for Tongayi, things get a little personal for Cip. “In the books, every time a Thalamascan officer falls in love with one of these Mayfair women, something happens to them. Something may or may not happen to Cip because of her relationship with Rowan,” Tongayi joked. “He’s in charge of protecting her and helping her deal with this new power, because that’s our profession, that’s what we’re good at.”

She continued, “She enters a world where she comes from science, and now she has to juggle magic and the spirit world and what it looks like and how it affects her. I’m there to gently guide you through it, but through it, we find commonalities of emotional and romantic experiences and how well it matches the work I’m tasked with doing. You find that it’s a bit of a conflict for him, where he knows what he has to do, but morally he feels something different. That journey inside of him and how it plays out for Rowan is something I can’t wait for people to see.”

He’s also trying to figure out who he is in this world and interact with him, but I think he does a great job of portraying this sinister being,” Tongayi said. “At the same time, he’s charming and captivating.”
