AMC Networks is actively developing a potential third series in the expanding Anne Rice Immortal Universe, with Oscar nominated John Lee Hancock (The Blind Side) attached as showrunner and writer.

The series is set in the world of the Talamasca, a secretive organization featured in a number of Rice’s novels that is devoted to studying the supernatural world and keeping mortals safe from its darkest elements. The series would join AMC/AMC+’s Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire and Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches.

“The enthusiastic critical and fan reception to Interview and Mayfair is a great sign of what is yet to come in this immersive universe based on the works of Anne Rice,” said Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks. “We’re excited to be in active development of the next instalment in this growing franchise, written and to be showrun by the incomparable John Lee Hancock. The Talamasca is one of the most intriguing elements of Rice’s works and a connective thread through so many of her stories, the standalone and crossover potential for this third series is immense.”
