Talamasca: The Secret Order (2025)
The six-episode first season of 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.
Headlined by Nicholas Denton (Dangerous Liaisons, Glitch), the series stars Academy Award®, BAFTA®, Emmy® and Golden Globe® nominee and SAG® Award-winner Elizabeth McGovern (Downton Abbey, The Wife, Ragtime, Ordinary People), SAG® Award-winner William Fichtner (The Dark Knight, Armageddon, Crash, Mom), Maisie Richardson-Sellers (Nine Perfect Strangers, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow) and Celine Buckens (Showtrial, The Ex-Wife), with SAG® Award-nominee Jason Schwartzman (Mountainhead, Pavements) set to guest star and Eric Bogosian reprising his role from Anne Rice’s Interview with a Vampire as a crossover character in the new series.
Denton stars as Guy Anatole; on the cusp of graduating 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.
