đŻď¸ The Talamasca: The Secret Order (2025) â âWeâre Watching. And Weâre Always There.â
âIn the shadows of the supernatural, there exists a silent order⌠not to hunt, not to destroy, but to observe.â
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 Riceâs expanding Immortal Universe, following Interview with the Vampire and Mayfair Witches. But this time, weâre not following the monsters.
Weâre following the ones who watch them.
đď¸ 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 â without interfering. At least, not officially.
In Riceâs novels, theyâve 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.
đľď¸ââď¸ The Series â 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) â A gifted newcomer to the Order, whose psychic abilities may unlock long-buried truths.
Jasper (William Fichtner) â A hardened senior observer with secrets even the Talamasca fears to read.
Helen (Elizabeth McGovern) â The mind behind the curtain, calm and calculating.
Olive (Maisie Richardson-Sellers) â A rogue agent drawn back into the fold by forces beyond comprehension.
Together, they face threats from beyondâand withinâas 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.
đ§ Connections to the Immortal Universe
This isnât just a side story. The Talamasca is the nexus of Anne Riceâs mythology.
The series weaves directly into the eerie timelines of:
Interview with the Vampire â where Talamasca agents secretly follow Lestatâs bloody trail across centuries.
Mayfair Witches â 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.

đ Filmed in: Manchester, UK
đŹ Episodes: 6 carefully crafted entries

đŚ What Lies Ahead?
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 universeâs mythology.
Theyâre not the heroes. Theyâre not the villains. Theyâre the watchers.
And what do they see? Will change everything.
âThe Talamasca. We are always there. We are always watching.â
đ Final Thoughts
The Talamasca: The Secret Order is a gothic, cerebral dive into the guardians of the supernatural â an organization that knows all the monstersâ secrets, and may be hiding a few of its own.
Expect psychological horror, occult mystery, ancient texts, and that delicious Anne Rice blend of sensuality and dread. October 26 canât come soon enough.
