What Is AMC's New Anne Rice Immortal Universe Show About? The Talamasca Explained

AMC is launching its third show in Anne Rice's Immortal Universe, this one about a secret society named the Talamasca, a huge part of the books.

The Talamasca has a rich history in the Rice novels, with the big question of what makes the shadowy operatives come out into the light now. There has been speculation that Interview with the Vampire season 3 will also be out sometime this year, although no date has been confirmed. Based on the teaser, however, the suggestion is that these hidden figures could be even more dangerous than the often dark foes they monitor. That will significantly shift to the franchise, potentially connecting all three shows more firmly.

It's The Start Of The Promotion Cycle

Lestat (Sam Reid) wears all black as the star witness in the trial of Louis & Claudia in Interview With The Vampire.

The Talamasca has been filming since late 2024, with the attention now turning to building up to the show's premiere. More will be revealed about the spinoff and its significance deeper into the new year. But for now, the implication is that the organization should be feared. Considering how they are dealing with vampires and witches, and who knows what else, that says a lot.
