Anne Rice’s Talamasca gives a glimpse at the two Interview With the Vampire characters set to appear in its debut season in the official trailer debuted on Thursday, September 4. In the dark and sexy sneak peek above, Eric Bogosian returns as the vampire Daniel Molloy, and Justin Kirk is seen reprising his role as Raglan James, a Talamasca agent. Kirk’s cameo was revealed earlier this week. Bogosian’s appearance was revealed during San Diego Comic-Con in July.

The trailer reveals that Guy Anatole’s (Nicholas Denton) mother is mentioned in Daniel’s Interview With the Vampire memoir that details his time with Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) and the vampire Armand (Assad Zaman). The Talamasca edited the story heavily, and now Guy is questioning why he’s involved.

“Ask them,” Daniel says. “They’re using you, kid.”

The trailer also shows the most of William Fichtner‘s vampire, Jasper, and Elizabeth McGovern‘s Helen than we’ve seen so far. See the action unfold in the trailer above. Below, we break down all there is to know about the third series in AMC‘s Immortal Universe, premiering in October. For an exclusive look into the series, direct from the set, see our 2025 Fall Preview.

When does Talamasca: The Secret Order premiere?

Talamasca: The Secret Order premieres on Sunday, October 26, at 9/8c on AMC, streaming on AMC+.

Talamasca is executive produced by Oscar-nominated John Lee Hancock (The Blind Side) and Mark Lafferty (The Right Stuff, Halt and Catch Fire), who also serve co-showrunners, and award-winning producer Mark Johnson, who oversees the Anne Rice Immortal Universe. Hancock will also direct.

What is Talamasca: The Secret Order about?

Talamasca Season 1 will be a six-episode season focusing on the men and women responsible for tracking and containing the witches, vampires, and other creatures scattered around the globe. Kirk’s Raglan James, seen in Interview With the Vampire Season 2, and Tongayi Chirisa‘s Ciprien Grieve, seen in Mayfair Witches, are both Talamasca agents, but there’s no word on whether or not they might appear in Talamasca. The series is set in the present day.

Who is in the Talamasca: The Secret Order cast?

Character details reveal more about the Talamasca plot. Both Denton and Fichtner will play series-regular characters made for the show rather than ones pulled from Rice’s extensive book catalog (the Talamasca is woven throughout both The Vampire Chronicles and Lives of the Mayfair Witches literary series — Kirk’s Raglan James is a main character from TVC‘s Tale of the Body Thief).

Known for Starz‘s Dangerous Liaisons, Denton plays Guy Anatole, who’s described as “brilliant, handsome, and sharp on the surface, but he’s always known his mind works a little differently,” AMC shares.

The description continues: “On the cusp of graduating law school, he is approached by a representative of the Talamasca, a secretive agency that monitors and protects us from the supernatural world. When Guy learns that the Talamasca has been tracking him since his childhood, he falls headlong into a world of secret agents and immortal beings who, up to now, have maintained a fragile balance with the mortal world. But for that balance to hold, and for Guy to survive, he will have to learn to embrace the dark, treacherous depths of his true and singular self.”

Known for roles in The Dark Knight, Armageddon, Crash, Mom, and more, Fichtner plays Jasper, a mysterious American vampire who has quietly assumed control and influence over the Talamasca’s London Motherhouse. Though his motives and methods are cloaked in shadow, his charm and righteous sense of purpose are as dangerous as the power he’s pursuing.

McGovern plays Helen, a seasoned veteran of the Talamasca and the leader of its New York Motherhouse. She has long suspected that London’s Motherhouse has fallen under the influence of traitorous elements, and a mysterious death prompts her to recruit Guy who will become her protégé.

The Talamasca is already basically a supernatural spy agency, but Maisie Richardson-Sellers‘ character seems to be more like a traditional spy. Richardson-Sellers plays Olive, described as a beguiling and ambitious agent of the Talamasca, assigned to be Guy’s American handler. She is deft with information and a master of disguises in the old tradition of spy craft.

Rounding out the main cast is Celine Buckens, who plays Doris, who’s strong-willed, with an old soul, and lives with a coven of witches on a houseboat. Jason Schwartzman will guest star as a bloodsucker named Burton, a charming, rakish vampire, leading a cloistered life in a luxurious Upper West Side penthouse.

Will Talamasca cross over with Interview With the Vampire and Mayfair Witches?

The two Interview crossovers with Bogosian and Kirk are confirmed, but there’s no word yet if any Mayfair characters will appear. Bogosian’s cameo is in the series premiere, and Kirk is a guest star in Episode 4.
