Joining as co-showrunner is Thomas Schnauz, known for his work on “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul.” This collaboration with series co-creator Esta Spalding marks the beginning of a two-year overall agreement with AMC Studios.
The upcoming season, starring Alexandra Daddario, plans to explore deeper themes within the realm of witchcraft, introducing new spellbound families while weaving some of Salem’s legendary events into its storyline. The first two seasons were set in New Orleans, with the latest concluding on March 2. The shift to Salem brings a fresh narrative element that promises to captivate the series’ audience even further.
