AMC Announces a Third Anne Rice Series in the Immortal Universe

AMC has introduced that it will be setting up generation on a 3rd, at present unnamed total-size tv collection in its “Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe,” in advance of the airing of the 2nd seasons of the two latest collection: Interview With the Vampire and Mayfair Witches. This 3rd collection will focus on the Talamasca, which is principally designed up of individuals with non secular powers (like psychometry or telepathy), and will not be primarily based on the events of any unique Anne Rice novel—as the Talamasca ended up in no way the aim of any one novel.

John Lee Hancock has been tapped to be the showrunner and author as a movie director, his credits include The Blind Facet, Saving Mr. Banking companies, many other sports and historical dramas—as well as his most modern movie, Mr. Harrigan’s Cellphone (a horror drama dependent on a Stephen King novella), which was dispersed by Netflix.

“The Talamasca is one of the most intriguing elements of Rice’s will work and a connective thread by way of so a lot of of her tales, the standalone and crossover likely for this 3rd sequence is huge,” Dan McDermott, president of amusement and AMC Studios for AMC Networks, explained in a assertion. There have been no bulletins about casting, probable air date, or any other crew attached to the show. The Talamasca highlighted heavily in Mayfair Witches (the tv series) and the Witching Hour novels. It appears to be possible, but is not confirmed, that we will see Tongayi Chirisa’s Ciprien Grieve (from Mayfair Witches) in this new demonstrate.

The Talamasca, which Rice explained as “psychic detectives,” are a magic formula modern society that act as a bridge among the paranormal and the human world. They are incredibly secretive and their motives remain largely unfamiliar. It’s a classic premise for a present, following in the footsteps of other human-first monster of the week exhibits like The X-Documents, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and, of class Supernatural.
