AMC Networks announced today the greenlighting of the third series in its expanding Anne Rice Immortal Universe: Anne Rice’s The Talamasca (wt).
Soon to be joining Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire and Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches is Anne Rice’s The Talamasca (working title), a fantasy drama that will focus on a secretive society called The Talamasca. Members of The Talamasca, introduced in the first two “Anne Rice” series, are the men and women responsible for tracking and containing the witches, vampires, werewolves, and other creatures scattered around the globe.
Signing on for the new series are Oscar®-nominated John Lee Hancock (The Blind Side) and Mark Lafferty (The Right Stuff, Halt and Catch Fire) as writers, co-showrunners, and executive producers, with Hancock also directing.
Said producer Mark Johnson, the creative head of AMC Networks’ Anne Rice Immortal Universe:
“With the second season of Interview with the Vampire currently receiving the best reviews of any show on television and with the production of Mayfair Witches about to wrap in Ireland, promising an even more compelling and unnerving second season, the question is what do we now add to the Immortal Universe of Anne Rice? The answer is a completely different show from the first two, but a show that nevertheless belongs under the Anne Rice umbrella. The Talamasca marries the procedural spy thriller with the supernatural and expands the thrills and the pleasures of our franchise’s ambitions.”
Season 1 of Anne Rice’s The Talamasca will be comprised of six episodes, slated to premiere on AMC and AMC+ in late 2025. The series is scheduled to go into production this fall and shoot in Manchester, England. Stay tuned for updates.
