AMC has introduced that it is going to be beginning manufacturing on a 3rd, at present unnamed full-length tv collection in its “Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe,” forward of the airing of the second seasons of the 2 present collection: Interview With the Vampire and Mayfair Witches. This third collection will concentrate on the Talamasca, which is primarily made up of people with non secular powers (like psychometry or telepathy), and won’t be based mostly on the occasions of any specific Anne Rice novel—because the Talamasca had been by no means the main focus of anyone novel.
John Lee Hancock has been tapped to be the showrunner and author; as a movie director, his credit embody The Blind Aspect, Saving Mr. Banks, varied different sports activities and historic dramas—in addition to his most up-to-date movie, Mr. Harrigan’s Cellphone (a horror drama based mostly on a Stephen King novella), which was distributed by Netflix.
“The Talamasca is likely one of the most intriguing components of Rice’s works and a connective thread by way of so a lot of her tales, the standalone and crossover potential for this third collection is immense,” Dan McDermott, president of leisure and AMC Studios for AMC Networks, mentioned in an announcement. There have been no bulletins about casting, potential air date, or every other crew hooked up to the present. The Talamasca featured closely in Mayfair Witches (the tv collection) and the Witching Hour novels. It appears probably, however will not be confirmed, that we are going to see Tongayi Chirisa’s Ciprien Grieve (from Mayfair Witches) on this new present.
The Talamasca, which Rice described as “psychic detectives,” are a secret society that act as a bridge between the paranormal and the human world. They’re extremely secretive and their motives stay largely unknown. It’s a basic premise for a present, following within the footsteps of different human-first monster of the week reveals like The X-Information, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and, after all Supernatural.
