AMC Networks just released the first photos from the latest addition to the Anne Rice Immortal Universe, Anne Rice’s Talamasca. The batch of photos includes newly announced series regular Celine Buckens (The Ex-Wife) as Doris and season one guest star Jason Schwartzman (Mountainhead) as a vampire named Burton.
Buckens and Schwartzman join previously announced series stars Nicholas Denton (Dangerous Liaisons), Elizabeth McGovern (Downton Abbey), William Fichtner (The Dark Knight), and Maisie Richardson-Sellers (Nine Perfect Strangers). Oscar nominee John Lee Hancock and Mark Lafferty serve as co-showrunners and executive producers. Hancock also directs, and Mark Johnson, Tom Williams, Christopher Rice, and the late Anne Rice are producers.
“Produced by AMC Studios, Anne Rice’s Talamasca focuses on a secretive society called the Talamasca, comprised of the men and women responsible for tracking and containing the witches, vampires, and other creatures scattered around the globe,” reads AMC’s synopsis. Per the network: “Buckens stars as Doris, strong-willed and with an old soul; she lives with a coven of witches on a houseboat, while Schwartzman portrays Burton, a charming, rakish vampire, leading a cloistered life in a luxurious Upper West Side penthouse.”
The casting announcement and first look photos were released as part of AMC Networks’ “Vampires, Witches, and Other Secret Societies: Inside AMC’s Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe” panel at ATX TV Festival. The panel also included the announcement that Interview with the Vampire season three will start production in Toronto in June 2025. The third season will center around Lestat (Sam Reid) and his rock band as they hit the road on tour.
Season three of Mayfair Witches is currently in the writers room and will “dive deeper into the mythology of witchcraft, introduce new ‘spellbound’ families and feature some of the historical happenings of Salem.”
