Talamasca gets October premiere date, and a surprise link to Interview With the Vampire

AMC is turning up the Halloween chills with the announcement that Talamasca, the third entry in Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe, arrives on Sunday, October 26, on AMC and AMC+. This new series expands the supernatural world alongside beloved sibling shows Interview With the Vampire and Mayfair Witches, and promises a deeper dive into a covert, centuries‑old society.

A fan‑thrilling surprise: Eric Bogosian returns as Daniel Molloy, the journalist‑turned‑vampire introduced in Interview With the Vampire. His appearance, confirmed live at San Diego Comic‑Con 2025, marks the first major crossover between the two series.

Talamasca is not adapted from one specific novel but is built on the mysterious Talamasca organization introduced across Anne Rice’s literary works. The show will spotlight this elusive order, which has been glimpsed in earlier installments but now takes center stage.

The series is brought to life by co-showrunners and executive producers John Lee Hancock and Mark Lafferty. With Hancock also stepping in as director, the show sets the stage for a dark, eerie journey filled with supernatural twists and deep character-driven storytelling.

At its heart, Talamasca follows Guy Anatole (Nicholas Denton), a newly minted law graduate who discovers the Talamasca has been monitoring him since childhood. He is drawn into their mission: to observe, record, and, when necessary, contain supernatural beings like vampires, witches, and werewolves.

"This is a story we’ve been developing and wanting to tell from the earliest moments of this franchise..."

He continued:

"As with all of these shows, we are thrilled to have such a high level of talent involved, represented here by John Lee Hancock and Mark Lafferty, and of course working closely with producer Mark Johnson as the creative head of our Anne Rice Immortal Universe."

As for the other key figures in the show, Guy has a mentor named Helen, portrayed by Elizabeth McGovern, a seasoned Talamasca operative based in New York. Across the Atlantic, William Fichtner plays Jasper, the enigmatic head of the London branch.

Maisie Richardson‑Sellers joins as Olive, Guy’s handler in the U.S. Celine Buckens appears as Doris, a witch with ancient wisdom who lives on a houseboat with her coven.

Jason Schwartzman takes on the guest role of Burton, a charismatic vampire in a luxurious Upper West Side penthouse. Both characters were unveiled alongside first-look images at ATX and other events this spring.

The show was filmed in Manchester, England, with six tight episodes planned for this debut season. So, fans can expect supernatural twists in the story, with a fresh tone and characters, offering a dive into the beloved witchy universe.
