The Talamasca Is Always Watching: AMC Releases New Series Teaser
Here's a promo for AMC's Nicholas Denton, William Fichtner, Elizabeth McGovern & Maisie Richardson-Sellers-starring Anne Rice's The Talamasca.
The worlds of Sam Reid, Jacob Anderson, Delainey Hayles, Assad Zaman, and Eric Bogosian-starring Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire and Alexandra Daddario, Tongayi Chirisa, Jack Huston, and Harry Hamlin-starring Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches are getting put on notice. Earlier tonight, AMC released the first teaser for Nicholas Denton (Dangerous Liaisons, Glitch), William Fichtner (The Company You Keep, Mom), Elizabeth McGovern (War of the Worlds), and Maisie Richardson-Sellers (Nine Perfect Strangers, DC's Legends of Tomorrow)-starring Anne Rice's The Talamasca. While both shows have already been impacted by the all-knowing, all-seeing organization, the latest addition to the "Immortal Universe" will take viewers inside for a better sense of just how far its influence reaches.
In the clip below, we get a brief message from an individual who appears to be McGovern's Helen. She was previously described as a veteran of the organization and head of the New York House who fears that the Talamasca is falling under some shady leadership. After a mysterious death, Helen recruits Denton's Guy Anatole as her protégé. While the message isn't long, it's definitely crystal clear. The Talamasca is always there…
With John Lee Hancock (The Blind Side) writing, directing, and serving as co-showrunner alongside Mark Lafferty, the series will focus on the secret organization known as the Talamasca – one that's been a factor in a number of Rice's works. Referred to by the late bestselling author as "psychic detectives," the Order of the Talamasca was established to research, track, and oversee the paranormal world – which, as we've seen, is made up of vampires, witches, werewolves, and more (and it's already made its presence known on both shows). Mark Johnson, who oversees the "Anne Rice Immortal Universe," will also serve as an executive producer (as he does on "Interview" and "Mayfair").
Denton's Guy Anatole is brilliant, handsome, and sharp on the surface – but he's always known his mind works a little differently. On the cusp of graduating from law school, he is approached by a representative of the Talamasca, a secretive agency that monitors and protects us from the supernatural world. When Guy learns that the Talamasca has been tracking him since his childhood, he falls headlong into a world of secret agents and immortal beings who, up to now, have maintained a fragile balance with the mortal world. But for that balance to hold and for Guy to survive, he will have to learn to embrace the dark, treacherous depths of his true and singular self.
