AMC‘s Talamasca: The Secret Order has been canceled after one season, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
“While we are usually not proceeding with one other season of Talamasca: The Secret Order, we’re happy with the series and grateful for the efforts of everyone involved,” AMC said in an announcement shared with THR. “The Talamasca has a storied place throughout the Anne Rice Immortal Universe, and we expect to see no less than a few of these characters, and the organization itself, in future expressions of the franchise.”
From showrunners John Lee Hancock (The Blind Side) and Mark Lafferty, Talamasca hails from the identical Anne Rice-based shared universe that began with Interview With the Vampire and continued with Mayfair Witches. The supernatural drama stars Nicholas Denton, Elizabeth McGovern, William Fichtner, Maisie Richardson-Sellers and Celine Buckens. Jason Schwartzman appeared as a guest star alongside Interview with the Vampire actors Eric Bogosian and Justin Kirk, who reprised their roles as crossover characters.
Here is the official logline: “On the cusp of graduating from law school, Guy (Denton) 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 right into a world of secret agents and immortal beings who, so far, have maintained a fragile balance with the mortal world.”
The six-episode first season premiered on Oct. 26 and aired its finale on Nov. 23. Interview With the Vampire (now titled The Vampire Lestat) season three debuts on AMC and AMC+ June 7, while a 3rd season of the Alexandra Daddario-led Mayfair Witches is predicted to be released early next yr.
Variety was first to report the cancellation.
