Talamasca: The Secret Order Season 2 needs to happen to address these 5 burning questions from the first chapter

Talamasca: The Secret Order left my brain buzzing so hard that I genuinely sat there staring at my screen after the finale thinking, “Okay, how am I supposed to function now?” Season 1 ended with twists flying in every direction, and if a second season doesn’t show up soon, I’m not sure how any of us are supposed to deal with all these loose ends.

The short answer to this is simple. We need another season because the first one basically opens doors instead of closing them. And honestly, I’m not ready to walk away from Guy, Helen, Doris, Jasper, Olive, Ridge, and the absolute chaos around them.

Below are the five questions that Season 2 of Talamasca: The Secret Order absolutely must answer. I’ve mixed everything the creators said in interviews with the finale’s ending explained to make sense of the mess we’re all obsessed with.

Author’s note: These questions are my own thoughts as a viewer and what I personally need answers to for Talamasca: The Secret Order Season 2.

Talamasca: The Secret Order Season 2 needs to happen to address these 5 burning questions from the first chapter

Q1. How deep does the twin twist go and what does it mean for Helen and Doris now?

One of the wildest things about Talamasca: The Secret Order is how the twin reveal slowly built up across the season. Finding out Doris was Emma and that Emma was Helen’s long-lost sister just changed the way I look at every scene these two have ever had.

The finale finally let them share a moment, but honestly, one tear of blood is not enough for everything they’ve been through. And based on the creators, this wasn’t even the original idea.

Showrunner Mark Lafferty told TV Insider that the whole twist came together in the writers' room. He explained the moment things clicked, saying,

“We just started to mix and match and go, ‘Oh, what if this girl is Helen’s twin? And what if she’s hiding in plain sight and the only way she can hide in plain sight is if she didn’t age but Helen did?’”

And once that idea locked in, they knew it was the missing piece of the mystery they needed.

But none of that actually solves the emotional mess these two are now in. Helen grew up thinking her sister was gone forever. Doris spent her entire life feeling like a weapon instead of a human being. And now they get five seconds together before getting torn apart again.

Plus, because both share the same DNA, Helen is now basically taking the fall for murders Doris committed in self-defense. I’m dying to see how Season 2 digs into their bond, their trauma, and whether they’ll finally get to be real siblings or if the Talamasca will keep ripping them away from each other.

Q2. What is really going on inside the Talamasca and who is actually in charge?

Season 1 of Talamasca: The Secret Order made one thing super clear. Nobody knows who is running this place. Not Guy. Not Helen. Not even Jasper. And definitely not Olive, who thinks she’s smarter than the people pulling every string.

The finale basically showed us that the Amsterdam Motherhouse is rotten at the top, and Houseman is out here doing stuff that feels like a horror movie inside a secret lab.

The creators backed that up too. John Lee Hancock told TV Insider that Houseman is high up but nowhere near the highest tier of leadership. In his exact words,

“He’s obviously a higher up in Talamasca, but not at the highest level in our mind. He is in charge of a specific division.”

Lafferty added that Houseman is operating in a sneaky way and that there are people above him who wouldn’t be thrilled with what he’s doing.

So what does that even mean? If Houseman isn’t the main boss and Jasper isn’t allowed to breathe without permission, then who is actually running the entire Talamasca? And how big is this pyramid of power? Season 1 of Talamasca: The Secret Order showed us corrupt programs, vampire experiments, brainwashed agents, and messy cover-ups.

Season 2 needs to finally show the higher ranks and expose the real structure. Right now, Talamasca feels like a machine with too many hidden rooms. I need the new season to open the doors and show us who built this nightmare in the first place.

Q3. Who is Guy’s mother and why is everyone acting weird about her?

Since episode one of Talamasca: The Secret Order, the show keeps teasing Guy’s missing mother. Every time her name comes up, someone changes the subject or gets awkward.

By the finale, Doris drops the huge bomb that she might know where Guy’s mom is. He doesn’t even get time to react because everything explodes around them right after.

The interview with the creators made it even more suspicious. When asked about Guy’s mom and how it fits into Season 2, Hancock said they purposely left a lot of characters hanging to explore their arcs later, especially personal mysteries like this one.

And the finale recap makes it pretty clear the show really wants us to think Helen might be connected to Guy. I mean, they literally hinted, “Almost like you’re family?” which feels way too pointed to be random.

But honestly, I don’t think the answer is that simple. If Doris knows something, it probably ties back to the Talamasca, the Amsterdam program, or maybe even whatever Houseman was hiding.

Guy’s powers showed up in the weirdest way, and the Talamasca clearly has a pattern of snatching gifted kids. Guy’s whole storyline feels like a sleeping volcano, and Season 2 needs to explode it properly.

I need answers. I need drama. I need Guy to stop being the only person who doesn’t know what’s going on in his own life.

Q4. What is Olive really doing and how dangerous is she going to get?

Olive might actually be the scariest part of Talamasca: The Secret Order. The finale made me realize she’s not just shady. She’s operating on a totally different level.

She pretends to be MI5, she jumps between aliases, she manipulates everyone, and she’s basically playing a game only she understands. Ridge keeps circling her, but even Ridge doesn’t know how deep this goes.

The ending recap revealed that Soledad died trying to expose Olive’s identity. On top of that, Olive is working with Jasper when it suits her. She’s also trying to snatch the 752 without realizing it’s Doris.

And now she has Checkers, the only revenant who survived the massacre Jasper’s dungeon went through. The fact that Checkers listens to her freaks me out, because either Olive has something supernatural going on or Checkers is evolving in a way nobody predicted.

The creators also hinted that Olive is part of something shady inside the Talamasca, even if she isn’t fully Talamasca. Lafferty literally said people like Olive are operating in shadows that other agents don’t even know exist.

Season 2 needs to finally show who Olive truly serves, what she wants, and what she’s willing to destroy to get it. Because right now, she looks like the person who could burn the entire Talamasca down if she felt like it.

Q5. What is Houseman planning with Jasper and the vampire experiments?

The finale of Talamasca: The Secret Order gave us one of the creepiest closing scenes ever. Jasper gets muzzled like a wild animal, dragged away, and delivered to Houseman, who is standing in front of what looks like a whole lineup of soon-to-be vampires. The scary part is how excited Jasper looks because it’s basically his twisted dream come true.

The creators didn’t hide that Houseman has been running his own experiments for years. Hancock explained that he runs a specific division and that his operation is hidden from other agents.

Lafferty also said viewers shouldn’t assume he’s the top leader because people above him probably wouldn’t approve of what he’s doing. That means his vampire lab is rogue, secret, and way more important to the story than we thought.

Now that Jasper is forced to work for him, this could go in so many directions. Jasper might finally snap and rebel. Houseman might try to use Jasper to make a new type of vampire army.

And since he was behind Doris’ turning in 1985, this whole thing feels like a cycle repeating itself. Season 2 of Talamasca: The Secret Order must show the real plan behind this lab, why Houseman needs more vampires, and whether Jasper is going to stay loyal or pull off the ultimate betrayal.

In the end, Talamasca: The Secret Order feels less like a completed season and more like the first chapter of a much bigger story the show has barely started to tell.

The twin reveal, the truth about the Amsterdam program, the chaos inside the Talamasca, Guy’s missing mother, Olive’s secret agenda, and Houseman’s vampire factory all feel like setups waiting for their payoff. None of these threads are small. Each one changes how we see this world and how we understand these characters.

For me, that is exactly why Talamasca: The Secret Order Season 2 needs to happen. The show has already done the heavy lifting of building its universe, tying into the Immortal Universe, and putting characters like Guy, Helen, Doris, Jasper, and Olive in impossible situations.

Now it has to show us the consequences. A second season would not just be fan service. It would be the logical next step to answer the questions the writers planted on purpose. Until that happens, it really does feel like the Talamasca has more secrets than episodes.
