AMC’s Third Anne Rice Immortal Universe Spinoff Most Recent News
In the upcoming installment of Immortal Universe, the spotlight shifts towards The Order of Talamasca, an enigmatic society comprising gifted detectives with supernatural abilities. Their primary mission is to document and investigate the diverse paranormal occurrences and entities that exist in our world. Well-known for their significant role in AMC's Mayfair Witches and a recurring presence in Anne Rice's original works, it is highly anticipated that the third spinoff of the Anne Rice Immortal Universe will intricately expand upon the vast lore of AMC's captivating horror universe.
Concrete updates on AMC's third Anne Rice Immortal Universe show have been scarce since its confirmation in April 2023. However, progress on the upcoming installment of the Anne Rice cinematic universe was likely hindered by the strikes led by WGA and SAG-AFTRA. Production of both AMC's Interview with the Vampire and Mayfair Witches second seasons was temporarily halted, indicating that the forthcoming Talamasca show likely faced similar setbacks.
Now that the WGA strikes have been resolved, it is expected that the SAG-AFTRA will also reach a resolution with the AMPTP by the end of 2023. As a result, development on the third Anne Rice Immortal Universe spinoff is likely to resume, possibly underway behind the scenes. Once the SAG-AFTRA strike is resolved and development progresses with concrete updates, more news on the next AMC Anne Rice show will likely be announced.
AMC’s Third Anne Rice Show Is Confirmed
On April 18, 2023, AMC confirmed the development of the third installment in the Anne Rice Immortal Universe spinoff series (via Deadline). While details were scarce at the time of the announcement, it was disclosed that screenwriter John Lee (known for his work on The Blind Side) would be joining the project. AMC also revealed that the next addition to the Anne Rice cinematic universe would delve into the world of the Order of the Talamasca.
Third AMC Anne Rice Show Release Date
The Cast Of AMC’s Third Anne Rice Immortal Universe Spinoff
: The release date for AMC's third Anne Rice show is yet to be announced. While the first two Anne Rice projects are set to have second seasons in early-to-mid 2024, the release date for the third installment in the Anne Rice Immortal Universe spinoff is uncertain. This is due to the fact that it was still in early stages of development when the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes occurred. Therefore, it is more reasonable to expect the new Anne Rice series to premiere on AMC sometime in late 2024 or 2025.
Cast announcements for the third spinoff of the Anne Rice Immortal Universe are still pending. Once development and production are in full swing, AMC is expected to confirm the first cast members of the Talamasca series. There is also a possibility of cameo appearances from characters in Interview with the Vampire and Mayfair Witches, as the Order of the Talamasca features in the source material for both series by Anne Rice.
The Order of the Talamasca is a clandestine society possessing their own extraordinary supernatural powers. Ciprien Grieve, a Talamasca agent prominently featured in Mayfair Witches and portrayed by Tongayi Chirisa, may not be a central character in the upcoming Anne Rice show. However, it is highly probable that Tongayi Chirisa will at least make a brief appearance in the cast of the third spinoff from Anne Rice's Immortal Universe.
What AMC’s Next Anne Rice Show Will Be About
Exact details about the plot of the third installment in Anne Rice's Immortal Universe spinoff are currently unknown. Nonetheless, it has been confirmed by AMC that the show will revolve around The Order of the Talamasca. Interestingly, Talamasca agents have already made appearances in the first two Anne Rice series on AMC, with Ciprien “Cip” Grieves, played by Tongayi Chirisa, being the most notable in The Mayfair Witches. In essence, the Talamasca can be described as a group of supernaturally talented detectives who have the crucial responsibility of safeguarding both the paranormal world and humanity from each other.
Rice referred to the Talamasca as "psychic detectives" in the original Deadline announcement of the third show's renewal. This reveals the overall premise of the next Anne Rice AMC show, centered around the Talamasca agents who investigate and study paranormal and supernatural phenomena. The ethical question of when and if they should intervene in these events is also expected to be a prominent theme. With the extensive work of the Order of Talamasca, the third spinoff has the potential to greatly expand the lore of AMC's supernatural cinematic universe.
