AMC's Immortal Universe is expanding with new shows, with two already airing – Interview with the Vampire and Mayfair Witches – and another Anne Rice spinoff in development: The Talamasca. Interview with the Vampire is the second time adapting one of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles book series after the classic 1994 movie adaptation starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt.
Related 8 Anne Rice Books To Read While Waiting For New Seasons Of Interview With The Vampire & Mayfair Witches The world of Anne Rice is full of gems which enrich understanding of both Immortal Universe TV shows Interview with the Vampire and Mayfair Witches. In AMC's Mayfair Witches, however, the new character of Talamasca agent Ciprien Grieve appears to be an amalgam of Aaron Lightner and another book character, Michael Curry. If any character is likely to appear in multiple series, it will be him. Interview with the Vampire season 2 also teased a potential crossover with Mayfair Witches or the Talamasca series already, introducing the character Raglan James at the end of the season.
Of the two shows, Interview with the Vampire is by far the more popular of the two, which isn't too much of a surprise considering the source material. The first two seasons have received rave reviews not just from critics, but also from audiences, earning praise for being one of the best-written and subversive shows on television.
In Anne Rice's books, the Talamasca, more formally known as the Order of the Talamasca, is a secret society whose purpose is to monitor, investigate, and, if needed, contain the supernatural creatures of the world. However, the Talamasca aren't necessarily antagonistic toward these supernatural beings. In fact, multiple Talamasca characters in the books befriended or became lovers of vampires or witches, or became vampires themselves.
