There was a time where themed television content was relegated to holidays, really. Since you wouldn’t see spooky stuff on television until Halloween, holiday themed stories would wait for the turkey to be carved, and patriotic movies were only shown during the nation’s birthday. Out of a strange belief that was the only time such stories could be celebrated. But as time has rolled along, it’s become clear that people are eager for those stories at any old time, and that they loved themed content groupings because it’s fun and celebrates storytelling and that’s why we are seeing such celebrations year-round, and a new one is coming up in a couple of weeks.

For recently, AMC Networks released a massive extended look at season two of Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches, to celebrate the epic season ahead but also… to announce the celebration of witches that awaits everyone in January. For AMC is also going to launch ‘Wicked: Stories of Magic & Mystery’ across its various platforms. To just remind us of the wonder of the witch and the value of these stories, and well, since you’re eager to enjoy that celebration and learn more about season two of Mayfair Witches, here is that extended look at season two of the show and all the details on ‘Wicked’ courtesy of AMC.
