🕯️The Talamasca: The Secret Order (2025) – AMC’s Mysterious Immortal Society Revealed | Release Date, Plot & Trailer Breakdown

🕯️ The Talamasca: The Secret Order (2025) – “We’re Watching. And We’re Always There.”

“In the shadows of the supernatural, there exists a silent order… not to hunt, not to destroy, but to observe.”

Step aside, witches. Move over, vampires. Something older, colder, and infinitely more mysterious now claims the spotlight.

Premiering October 26 on AMC+, The Talamasca: The Secret Order marks the third chilling chapter in Anne Rice’s expanding Immortal Universe, following Interview with the Vampire and Mayfair Witches. But this time, we’re not following the monsters.

We’re following the ones who watch them.

👁️ Who Are the Talamasca?

Founded centuries ago, the Talamasca is a secretive society of scholars, empaths, and shadow-walkers. Their mission? To observe, record, and understand supernatural phenomena — without interfering. At least, not officially.

In Rice’s novels, they’ve always been the silent sentinels, chronicling the existence of vampires like Lestat and Louis, witches like Rowan Mayfair, and otherworldly creatures far darker than folklore dares whisper.

But now, for the first time, their story takes center stage.

🕵️‍♂️ The Series – Secrets in the Shadows

The Talamasca: The Secret Order unfolds in the gothic heart of Manchester, England, where whispers of the paranormal echo through old stone halls and moonlit graveyards. The series follows:

• Guy Anatole (Nicholas Denton) — A gifted newcomer to the Order, whose psychic abilities may unlock long-buried truths.

• Jasper (William Fichtner) — A hardened senior observer with secrets even the Talamasca fears to read.

• Helen (Elizabeth McGovern) — The mind behind the curtain, calm and calculating.

• Olive (Maisie Richardson-Sellers) — A rogue agent drawn back into the fold by forces beyond comprehension.

Together, they face threats from beyond—and within—as ancient forces begin to stir, and the veil between the worlds thins. There are rules in the Talamasca… and they are about to be broken.

🧛 Connections to the Immortal Universe

This isn’t just a side story. The Talamasca is the nexus of Anne Rice’s mythology.

The series weaves directly into the eerie timelines of:

• Interview with the Vampire – where Talamasca agents secretly follow Lestat’s bloody trail across centuries.

• Mayfair Witches – where Ciprien Grieve, a Talamasca empath, risked everything for forbidden love.

With crossovers hinted at and cameos rumored, The Secret Order is the key to unlocking the deeper truths of the Immortal Universe. Expect lore drops, coded archives, and maybe even glimpses of vampire royalty in the shadows.

AMC is building something immortal. With Night Island (a vampire resort thriller) also on the horizon, and multiple spin-offs hinted at, the Talamasca could become the architects of the entire universe’s mythology.

They’re not the heroes. They’re not the villains. They’re the watchers.

And what do they see? Will change everything.

“The Talamasca. We are always there. We are always watching.”
