After being announced back in 2024, AMC has revealed the first look at Anne Rice's Talamasca a new supernatural series that joins Interview with the Vampire and The Mayfair Witches in the network's Anne Rice Immortal Universe.

Debuting this October on AMC and AMC+, Anne Rice's Talamasca stars Nicholas Denton (Dangerous Liaisons), Elizabeth McGovern(Downton Abbey, Ordinary People), William Fichtner (The Dark Knight), Maisie Richardson-Sellers (DC’s Legends of Tomorrow) and Celine Buckens (Showtrial, The Ex-Wife), with Jason Schwartzman (Mountainhead, Queer) set to guest star.

John Lee Hancock (The Blind Side) and Mark Lafferty (The Right Stuff, Halt and Catch Fire) serve as co-showrunners and executive producers on the thriller series, with Hancock directing.

First introduced in Rice's 1988 novel The Queen of the Damned, the Talamasca is a secret society comprised of the men and women responsible for tracking and containing the witches, vampires, and other creatures scattered around the globe. In Anne Rice's Talamasca, Buckens stars as Doris, strong-willed and with an old soul, she lives with a coven of witches on a houseboat, while Schwartzman portrays Burton, a charming, rakish vampire, leading a cloistered life in a luxurious Upper West Side penthouse.

Earlier today at an ATX TV Festival panel titled Vampires, Witches, and Other Secret Societies: Inside AMC's Anne Rice's Immortal Universe, AMC Networks gave attendees a first look inside the interconnected, supernatural world of Anne Rice on AMC and AMC+, sharing production and casting updates and a first look at the newest series (which you can see below).

The panel also revealed that the third season of the hit series Interview with the Vampire, which will follow Sam Reid’s Vampire Lestat and his rock band on tour, is set to start production next month in Toronto, and that the third season of the Alexandra Daddario-starring Mayfair Witches is currently being written. The third season will dive deeper into the mythology of witchcraft, introduce new ‘spellbound’ families and feature some of the historical happenings of Salem, MA.
