The BBC has acquired supernatural drama Mayfair Witches from AMC Networks and extended its Vladimir Putin factual series.

Mayfair Witches is based on the novels by Anne Rice and will air on BBC Two and be available via iPlayer.

The eight-part series follows an intuitive young neurosurgeon who discovers she possesses supernatural abilities and that she is the unlikely heir to a family of witches.

The show follows on from Interview With The Vampire, also made by AMC and picked up by BBC Two.

In related news, the UK channel has ordered two additional episodes of its critically acclaimed documentary series Putin Vs The West.

The new eps will follow the first three episodes of the docuseries, which explored Putin’s relationship with the West, from the invasion of Crimea to the brink of its wider invasion of Ukraine.

The new episodes will cover the developing war and the response from the West. Brook Lapping, part of Zinc Media, produces.
