The Season 2 finale of Mayfair Witches reached a dramatic turning point with the shocking death of Lasher. Julien, along with his fellow Scottish Mayfairs, devised a plan to kill Lasher, consume his blood, and inherit his immense power. However, in a surprising betrayal, Julien kept all the power for himself.
Rowan also participated in the ritual, hoping to bring Lasher back, but her attempt was in vain. Showrunner Esta Spalding hints that Lasher’s demise may not be permanent, as the Immortal Universe is known for its ability to resurrect spirits. This leaves the door open for his return in future seasons, though it may not happen immediately. In the meantime, Rowan is left to grapple with her identity and purpose in his absence.
Lasher’s Child and Lark’s Departure Bring Uncertainty to Rowan’s Future
Despite Lasher’s apparent death, his legacy continues through the child he conceived with Emaleth. The existence of this offspring introduces new possibilities, especially considering the rapid growth of the Taltos.
As Spalding notes, these beings mature at an extraordinary rate, meaning the baby Emaleth carried could already be fully grown if the show returns for a third season. This development adds an unpredictable element to the story, as the child could inherit Lasher’s powers and pose new challenges or opportunities for Rowan and the Mayfair family.

After barely surviving his confrontation with the Scottish Mayfairs, Lark chose to walk away from the supernatural conflicts that define Rowan’s world. The fundamental issue between them was his humanity; unlike Rowan, he lacked the understanding and acceptance of the dark power she now embraced.
Their final scene together solidified this break, as Lark drank a potion to erase his memories of Rowan. However, Spalding hints at a potential twist, suggesting that his memories could return in the future, leaving room for a possible reunion.
Rowan’s Power and Julien’s Challenge Shape a Legacy of Supernatural Conflict
Rowan’s journey throughout the second season has been one of transformation and self-discovery. The finale marked a turning point as she fully embraced her power, setting the stage for a showdown with Julien. The closing scene, in which Rowan confidently faces the lurking Julien, signifies that she is ready to challenge him and claim her place within the Mayfair legacy.
According to Spalding, while Rowan is not yet as corrupted as Julien, she shares his ambition and thirst for power. This dynamic will likely shape the conflicts of a potential third season, as Rowan must navigate the shifting alliances within her family.
If Mayfair Witches is renewed for a third season, it promises to explore deeper conflicts between Rowan and Julien, the rise of Emaleth’s child, and the long-term consequences of Lasher’s death. The family’s history of division suggests that battle lines may be drawn between those who support Rowan and those who align with Julien.
Meanwhile, Rowan’s newfound abilities and determination position her as a formidable force in the supernatural realm. With the series poised for more twists and dark revelations, fans eagerly await confirmation of its continuation and what lies ahead in the Immortal Universe.
