Third Anne Rice Series On The Way From AMC Will Focus On Secret Society For The Paranormal

AMC is expanding the Anne Rice universe.

A third series has officially been put into development by AMC focusing on the universe that Anne Rice has built in her literary world. First we had Interview With The Vampire then The Mayfair Witches and now we are getting a new series, which is set in the world of the Talamasca, a secretive organization featured in a number of Rice’s novels.

Deadline reports tonight that The Blind Side writer John Lee Hancock, is attached as showrunner and writer.

Deadline notes: The Talamasca, which is otherwise known as the Order of the Talamasca, features in both Rice’s The Vampire Chronicles and Lives of the Mayfair Witches. It is a secret society set up to research, watch over and keep track of the paranormal including witches, spirits, werewolves and vampires. Rice calls them “psychic detectives”.

This announcement comes after both Interview With The Vampire and The Mayfair Witches were renewed for a second season.

“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 installment 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.”
