New Orleans, Louisiana
The massive portion of the series Mayfair Witches was shot in the mesmerizing city of New Orleans in Louisiana. Moreover, this stupendous city happened to be the birthplace of the riveting author of the book, Anne Rice. furthermore, the series-lovers would be so happy to hear the name of the city New Orleans, if they are already fans of The Originals, a spin-off from the highly acclaimed series ever, The Vampire Diaries.
The entire cast and crew of the series set their base around an antiquated house named Soria-creel House which was undeniably fitting for the place to make their audience feels scarier.
This house was situated at 3102 Prytania street in the Garden District and the most interesting coincidence was that the author’s childhood home was located in the same neighborhood which even became a good sign. The house was renovated to match the expectations of the director, with full credit to the art team and they finally managed to pull off the face of the house to be mysterious and spooky.
The whole place was lit up and in order to create a really scary atmosphere fog was used. The famous actor Tongayi Chirisa who acts as Ciprien Grieve in this show vehemently talked about the lovely experience of filming in the same neighborhood of that as the author.
He was asked about his experience filming the series in a recent interview and said “We actually could not get the real one but we were able to get one that was similar. And so, like Harry was saying they actually reproduced the outside but internal stuff they had to do it onstage. But I think the spirit of New Orleans and the spirit of Anne Rice lives because we filmed in the same street that the house was in”.
So when they find some difficulties with the interior of the house they chose, the team had to look for a studio in New Orleans to shoot some of the interior shots. Since the city would suffice our minds with its intriguing beauty and cool breeze, the shooting could be wrapped so easily.
