SDCC 2025: They're Always Watching You

At last, fans of Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe got a look at a new chapter, inspired but not adapted directly from Anne Rice’s novels. Talamasca will definitively tie the universe together, as they keep a watchful eye on vampires, witches, and… demons.

Starring Nicholas Denton (“Guy Anatole”), Elizabeth McGovern (“Helen”), William Fichtner (“Jasper”), Maisie Richardson-Sellers (“Olive”), and Celine Buckens (“Doris”), Anne Rice’s Talamasca debuts on Sunday, October 26 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. And yes, in the trailer you will see the not entirely unexpected recurring character that connects this series directly with Interview with the Vampire.

Produced by AMC Studios, Anne Rice’s Talamasca focuses on a secretive society called the Talamasca, comprised of the men and women responsible for tracking and containing the witches, vampires, and other creatures scattered around the globe. While it seems that Jason Schwartzman falls under the category of vampire, there may yet be a surprise or two.
