The Anne Rice universe is expanding as AMC has started developing Talamasca, a new series set in the same world as Interview With the Vampire and Mayfair Witches at AMC and AMC+.
The announcement comes from Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks, during the AMC Networks upfront presentation.
“The enthusiastic critical and fan reception to Interview and Mayfair is a great sign of what is yet to come in this immersive universe based on the works of Anne Rice,” said McDermott. “We’re excited to be in active development of the next installment in this growing franchise, written and to be showrun by the incomparable John Lee Hancock. The Talamasca is one of the most intriguing elements of Rice’s works and a connective thread through so many of her stories; the standalone and crossover potential for this third series is immense.”
The series “is set in the world of the Talamasca, a secretive organization featured in a number of Rice’s iconic novels that is devoted to studying the supernatural world and keeping mortals safe from its darkest elements.
As previously reported, AMC acquired the rights to Rice’s best-selling book series The Vampire Chronicles and The Lives of the Mayfair Witches, which encompass 18 novels in total.
