Mayfair Witches Star Teases Things Get Complicated for Rowan and Ciprien Going Forward

Last week's episode of Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches, "The Thrall", saw Rowan (Alexandra Daddario) and Ciprien (Tongayi Chirisa) trapped in Lasher's (Jack Huston) manipulations at the Mayfair house, but the episode was also a turning point for their relationship. According to Chirisa, things are only going to get more complicated for the pair from here as the season enters its last three episodes this week.

"Issues of the heart are so complicated already, and everyone is doing it from a place of love," Chirisa told TV Insider. "When we do things from a place of love, where we don't understand that our actions may actually be hurting more than helping, a lot of times we tend to realize that when it's too late."

"With that situation in the house, and when they come out of it, they actually realize 'OK, we are on two different paths. We want the same thing, but how to get there is completely different,'" Chirisa added. "Intrinsically, they're both longing for a home and a place where they can have love, but the external circumstances of how to navigate that and get one to believe one's vision is where the conflict of interest starts to play out."

Chirisa also hinted that as the story continues, we may see Ciprien going a bit further away from what he's been taught by the Talamasca, an organization that is supposed to simply observe.

"To some degree, Cip does start to take things into his own hands," he said, adding that "from a Talamasca point of view, it could look like he is disobeying rules or has gone rogue. But I think in the grander scheme of things, he's trying to do what's best in the worst of the situation from work and from a love perspective. It's an interesting dichotomy that he faces, and he does what he can."

Will there be a second season of Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches?
