The Talamasca Overview: Cast, Plot Details, Trailer & All We Know About The Immortal Universe Spinoff

AMC is progressing with the development of its third spinoff within the Anne Rice Immortal Universe, titled The Talamasca. Following the success of its earlier adaptations, including Interview with the Vampire (2022) and Mayfair Witches (2023), this new series aims to deepen the mythology of Rice’s fictional universe. Although many specifics remain undisclosed, the excitement surrounding this project is already palpable.

The focus of The Talamasca will be on the enigmatic Order of Talamasca, a secret society comprised of supernaturally endowed investigators dedicated to documenting paranormal occurrences and entities. This organization has played a pivotal role in both Mayfair Witches and Anne Rice’s broader literary repertoire. The show is poised to enrich the existing lore of AMC’s horror cinematic universe while likely acting as a narrative link between Interview with the Vampire and Mayfair Witches.
