NYCC 2025: New Look at AMC’s Talamasca: The Secret Order

While the main draw in AMC’s Anne Rice Universe is still Interview With the Vampire—which forges into its third season, retitled The Vampire Lestat, in 2026—Anne Rice’s Talamasca: The Secret Order is also gearing up to establish the supernatural secret organization’s role in all of it.

At New York Comic Con 2025, the panel and footage gave more of a glimpse at the totally not Agents of SHIELD  supernatural spy police series. Talamasca follows Guy (Nicholas Denton), a new recruit whose special abilities make him a candidate to join the group’s shadowy ranks. The organization, led by the mysterious Helen (Elizabeth McGovern), keeps tabs on all matters pertaining to the vampires, witches, and other monsterkind to protect humanity… allegedly.

Here’s the latest look at the show and how it sows the seeds of potential of interconnectedness with the rest of AMC’s Anne Rice Universe, including Mayfair Witches and Interview With the Vampire.

Jason Schwartzman and Interview With the Vampire fave Eric Bogosian are guest stars in a cast that also includes William Fichtner.

The Talamasca’s members might seem like they’re trying to keep the boundaries between the living and undead—but there might be, of course, some corruption calling from inside the house. We can guess that as those secrets unravel, Guy will realize he might be in too deep with a group that might be hiding as much as the very creatures they claim are the danger.

Anne Rice’s Talamasca: The Secret Order will premiere with its first two episodes October 26 on both AMC and AMC+. It will run six episodes in total.
