First Teaser for Upcoming Interview With The Vampire Spin-off Reveals Dark Vibes

Anticipation surrounds the upcoming spinoff from Interview with the Vampire. Titled The Talamasca, the series promises to delve into the secrets of a clandestine organization that tracks supernatural entities. This new installment is part of the expanding Immortal Universe, alongside the newly released season 2 of Mayfair Witches on AMC and AMC+. The Talamasca plays a crucial role across both existing series, keeping a watchful eye on vampires, witches, and unseen creatures that may soon be unveiled to audiences.

Recently, an intriguing teaser was shared on X (formerly Twitter) through the official account for Interview with the Vampire. The preview features a seasoned Talamasca member, portrayed by Elizabeth McGovern, who ominously states, “We watch the witches.” This brief insight concludes with a reminder that the Talamasca is always present, perpetually observing the supernatural world.

The forthcoming series focuses on a group charged with monitoring supernatural beings worldwide, including vampires and witches, alongside others that may yet be introduced to the audience. The Talamasca has been referenced in existing AMC productions, particularly relating to Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian), the interviewer featured in Interview with the Vampire.

This adaptation is spearheaded by co-showrunners John Lee Hancock (known for The Blindside) and Mark Lafferty (from Halt and Catch Fire), both of whom serve as executive producers. Additionally, producer Mark Johnson oversees the expansive Immortal Universe.

Central to the plot is the character Guy Anatole, played by Nicholas Denton, who takes on the lead role as a crucial new recruit in the Talamasca, guided by Helen (Elizabeth McGovern). The cast also features notable talents, including William Fichtner and Maisie Richardson-Sellers. While a definitive release date remains undisclosed, the series is slated to premiere in 2025.

The Talamasca’s lore is deeply rooted in Anne Rice’s novels, raising significant questions about why these enigmatic operatives choose to step into the spotlight. Speculation suggests that Interview with the Vampire season 3 could also launch later this year, with no specific date confirmed as of yet. The teaser hints that the Talamasca may prove to be even more formidable than the dark forces they vigilantly observe, indicating a potential evolution in the franchise’s narrative that could unify all three shows more closely.

The filming of The Talamasca began in late 2024, with promotional efforts now ramping up ahead of the series debut. Additional details about this new spinoff and its overarching significance are expected to emerge throughout the year. Current implications suggest that the organization should invoke trepidation, especially given their interactions with witches and vampires, and the potential threats that lie beyond our understanding.
