AMC has officially titled and announced a late 2025 release window for its Anne Rice's novels and the AMC adaptations of Interview with the Vampire and Mayfair Witches, serving as a secret society tasked with monitoring and containing supernatural beings. Tracking witches, vampires, and other supernatural entities, The Talamasca has played a key role in the Immortal Universe but has remained an off-screen mystery until the show.
Per Collider, AMC recently announced at its upfront presentation that the series will be called The Talamasca: The Secret Order and will have a Fall 2025 release date. The six-episode series will delve into the secretive organization that monitors supernatural entities within Anne Rice's Immortal Universe. AMC also released a teaser for The Talamasca, which featured the words, "Talamasca, we watch, and we are always there."
What This Means For Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe
The Talamasca Will Deepen The Mythology Of Interview With The Vampire & Mayfair Witches
The decision to focus on the Talamasca is a strategic move that increases the possibilities of crossovers and long-form storytelling. The organization's mysterious reach makes it an ideal narrative tool to explore different storylines and time periods across the Immortal Universe while also providing a grounded, human point of view. If handled properly, The Secret Order could become the glue that connects AMC's other Anne Rice adaptations in meaningful ways. The Fall 2025 release date means viewers won't have to wait long to see how the next piece of AMC's Immortal Universe fits into the puzzle.
10 Anne Rice Book Characters Who Can Appear In AMC's Talamasca Show
Anne Rice created many supernatural characters in her books, and The Talamasca is set to show those old and new to the Immortal Universe franchise.
The Secret Order cast includes Nicholas Denton as Guy Anatole and William Fichtner as Jasper, alongside Elizabeth McGovern and Maisie Richardson-Sellers. With characters like Anatole and Jasper leading the way, the show has a chance to introduce brand-new protagonists who will navigate the world of vampires, witches, and other supernatural beings with a new perspective. In contrast to the romantic gothic horror of Interview with the Vampire or the mysticism of Mayfair Witches, this series might offer a different tone given the darker, more investigative nature of the Talamasca's work.
Our Take On The Secret Order’s Potential
It Could Be AMC’s Most Ambitious Supernatural Drama Yet
The Talamasca has long captivated readers of Anne Rice's novels, and adapting it for television is a bold move that demonstrates AMC's willingness to expand its fantasy landscape in exciting ways. If The Secret Order leans into its globe-trotting, clandestine roots, it could feel like The X-Files meets The Vampire Diaries, all while staying grounded in Rice's literary world. With AMC expanding its Immortal Universe, the series could be one of its most ambitious and exciting projects yet.
Led by a strong cast and an award-winning crew, the show has a chance to thrive. With supernatural espionage, potential crossovers, and a deep lore, The Talamasca: The Secret Order could be the piece that ties AMC's Anne Rice adaptations under one unforgettable banner.
