The next Interview with the Vampire spinoff gets an ominous new teaser, with The Talamasca inching closer to a debut. Mayfair Witches season 2 has just returned to AMC and AMC+ with new episodes, but the Immortal Universe is set to expand with a third series based on Anne Rice’s work. The Talamasca is focused on a secret organization, seeded in both Interview with the Vampire and Mayfair Witches, that’s meant to keep track of supernatural creatures.
On X (formerly Twitter), the account for Interview with the Vampire shared a brief teaser. It is a brief message. A veteran of the organization (played by Elizabeth McGovern) makes a simple statement: “We watch the witches.” The teaser ends by restating that the Talamasca is always watching and always there.

It Adds Another Layer To The Supernatural
The upcoming spinoff centers on the group that keeps track of supernatural creatures around the globe, whether they are vampires, witches, or other types that viewers haven’t met yet. The Talamasca has been mentioned in the already established AMC shows, with ties to Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian). He is the titular interviewer in Interview with the Vampire.
The Talamasca adaptation has already cast its main roles, with Nicholas Denton playing the lead protagonist Guy Anatole. He’s a recent and pivotal recruit to the organization, brought in by Helen (McGovern). The cast also includes William Fichtner and Maisie Richardson-Sellers. Although a specific release date is so far unknown, the spinoff will be released in 2025.

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 Anne 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 that they monitor. That will be a significant shift to the franchise, potentially connecting all three shows more firmly.

It’s The Start Of The Promotion Cycle
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.
