At San Diego Comic-Con, AMC Networks had several announcements for the Anne Rice Immortal Universe, including the first trailer and premiere date for the latest series based on her work, Talamasca: The Secret Order.
The show, which stars Nicholas Denton, Elizabeth McGovern, William Fichtner, Maisie Richardson-Sellers, Celine Buckens, and Jason Schwartzman, revolves around the Order of the Talamasca, the secret society featured in Rice’s Vampire Chronicles and Lives of the Mayfair Witches, which studies and observes the paranormal. It will premiere on Sunday, October 26, at 9pm ET/PT. Additionally, it was revealed Eric Bogosian, who played Daniel Molloy, the titular reporter of Interview with the Vampire, will reprise the role on Talamasca.
A behind-the-scenes look at The Vampire Lestat, which will mark the third season of Interview with a Vampire, was released. The season, based on the second installment of Rice’s Vampire Chronicles, will premiere in 2026, and see the return of series leads Sam Reid, Jacob Anderson, Delainey Hayles, and Assad Zaman, as well as new additions Jennifer Ehle (as Gabriella de Lioncourt), Ella Ballentine (Baby Jenks), Jeanine Serralles (Christine Claire), Christopher Heyerdahl (Marius), and Damien Atkins (Magnus).
Over in The Walking Dead Universe, it was announced The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon will end with its fourth season. Although Norman Reedus teased “Daryl’s journey is far from over,” it will mark the end of an era for him and co-star Melissa McBride, having portrayed Dixon and Carol Peletier since the first season of The Walking Dead in 2010. Production on the eight-part finale will begin in Madrid this month. In the meantime, you can watch a new trailer for season three below:
