The universe of Interview with the Vampire is returning to Netflix.
Interview with the Vampire season 4 is confirmed. It will focus on Akasha, drawing from Anne Rice’s Queen of the Damned novel. The decision is not surprising, considering that the retitled Vampire Lestat performed strongly for AMC and AMC+. It also drew some of the supernatural drama’s best reviews yet.
Elsewhere in AMC’s Immortal Universe, Mayfair Witches season 3 is slated to return next year with Alexandra Daddario in the lead role. But not all of the channel’s Rice adaptations have performed well. Talamasca: The Secret Order was a one-and-done, cancelled after only six episodes. But it may get resurrected, as some series have been, with a Netflix bump.
Talamasca: The Secret Order is coming to Netflix on August 23, with subscribers in the U.S. being able to watch all six episodes. The move is part of an overall licensing agreement between Netflix and AMC, which has helped to boost the latter’s originals such as The Walking Dead, Dark Winds, and earlier seasons of Interview with the Vampire.
Talamasca was previously only available to Netflix’s international subscribers.
Debuting in October 2025 from creator John Lee Hancock, Talamasca blended elements of a spy thriller with the horrors of witches, vampires, and other otherworldly creatures. The story is especially focused on a secret organization featured throughout the Immortal Universe, meant to track the supernatural.
Dangerous Liaisons actor Nicholas Denton plays the lead role of Guy Anatole. Approached by a representative of The Talamasca just as he’s about to graduate from law school, Guy soon learns that the organization has been following him since he was a child. He soon realizes that he’ll have to make peace with his darker tendencies in order to navigate his new reality.
Prison Break‘s William Fichtner and the Oscar-nominated Elizabeth McGovern also star, as do Celine Buckens and Maisie Richardson-Sellers. Still, even with the hook of a veteran performer like Fichtner playing a vamp, the spinoff didn’t find an audience. It was cancelled by AMC in March of this year, several months after the Talamasca finale.
AMC boss Dan McDermott candidly explained Talamasca‘s cancellation in an interview with The Ankler, saying in part: “There were other shows that we wanted to put forth that could perform better.” But with its Netflix arrival mere weeks away now, it could be the case that Guy Anatole will get a redemption arc after all.
