‘The Talamasca’ – First Look at Upcoming Anne Rice Spinoff Described as Supernatural Spy Series

The Anne Rice Immortal Universe only continues to grow with the third series, “The Talamasca: The Secret Order” that’s slated to premiere this fall, and new details and first look images have arrived.

The six-episode inaugural season is expected to arrive this October and will focus on the men and women responsible for tracking and containing the witches, vampires, and other creatures scattered around the globe.

Franchise executive producer and overseer Mark Johnson reiterated to Deadline that the new series won’t be based on any specific book, as the secret organization is featured across multiple Anne Rice works. “John Lee Hancock, who is a writer I’ve worked with a great deal, has created the world of The Talamasca, all of it inspired by her work but taken a certain amount of liberty, hopefully at the same time always being faithful to what she might have done with the Talamasca had she done a book on them,“ Johnson said.

What’s more intriguing is Johnson’s description of “The Talamasca,“ calling it a “kind of a spy show, almost a John le Carré with elements of the supernatural in it.”

Nicholas Denton stars as “Guy Anatole. He is brilliant, handsome, and sharp on the surface, but he’s always known that his mind works a little differently. On the cusp of graduating law school, he is approached by a representative of the Talamasca, a secretive agency that monitors and protects us from the supernatural world. When Guy learns that the Talamasca has been tracking him since his childhood, he falls headlong into a world of secret agents and immortal beings who, up to now, have maintained a fragile balance with the mortal world. But for that balance to hold, and for Guy to survive, he will have to learn to embrace the dark, treacherous depths of his true and singular self.”

Celine Buckens stars as Doris, an old soul who lives with a coven of witches on a houseboat, while Jason Schwartzman portrays Burton, rakish vampire leading a cloistered life in a luxurious Upper West Side penthouse.

Elizabeth McGovern (Downton Abbey, The Wife, Ragtime, Ordinary People), William Fichtner (The Dark Knight, Armageddon, Crash, Mom) and Maisie Richardson-Sellers (Nine Perfect Strangers, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow) also star.

John Lee Hancock (The Blind Side) and Mark Lafferty (“Halt and Catch Fire”) will be the showrunners and executive producers, with John Lee Hancock seated in the director’s chair. Mark Johnson, who oversees the Anne Rice Immortal Universe, will also serve as executive producer.

“The Talamasca: The Secret Order“ joins “Mayfair Witches“ and “Interview with the Vampire,“ but Johnson notes that the Immortal Universe will likely expand even further: “I think we could do four or five.”

The third series is expected to debut in Fall 2025 ahead of “Interview with the Vampire“ Season 3 in 2026.
