AMC has announced Nicholas Denton (Dangerous Liaisons, Glitch) has been cast as as the lead of the third series in its expanding Anne Rice Immortal Universe, a drama focused on a secretive society called ‘The Talamasca‘.
Denton will star as Guy Anatole. He is brilliant, handsome and sharp on the surface, but he’s always known his mind works a little differently. 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. 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.
If you’ve been watching through Season 2 of ‘Interview With The Vampire’, which is available now on BBC iPlayer in the UK, we have been given our first glimpse of Talamasca when they approach Eric Bogosian‘s Daniel Molloy with information about interviewees, Louis (Jacob Anderson) and Armand (Assad Zaman). Justin Kirk guest-starred as Raglan James, the Talamasca agent in that series.
Denton previously starred as “Valmont” in the Starz/Lionsgate prequel to ‘Dangerous Liaisons’ and was a recipient of a coveted spot among the 2018 Heath Ledger Scholarships Finalists. He trained in the theatre while appearing in numerous television and film projects, including Ron Howard’s ‘Eden’, the critically acclaimed indie ‘Holding the Man’, series ‘Glitch’, Utopia and Acorn TV’s ‘My Life Is Murder’.
Anne Rice’s The Talamasca is executive produced by Oscar-nominated John Lee Hancock (The Blind Side) and Mark Lafferty (The Right Stuff, Halt and Catch Fire), who also serve co-showrunners, and award-winning producer Mark Johnson, who oversees the Anne Rice Immortal Universe. Hancock will also direct.
The series joins Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire, which concluded its critically acclaimed second season earlier this year, and Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches, returning for a second season in early 2025 on AMC and AMC+ in the USA. The series all air on the BBC in the UK.
‘The Talamasca‘ Season 1 will air “late 2025” on AMC/AMC+ in the USA. ‘Interview With The Vampire‘ and ‘Mayfair Witches‘ can be found on BBC iPlayer in the UK, and we would assume the BBC will pick this new show up too, but that is not been confirmed. If you want to keep track of these or any other shows you can add them via our Never Miss system, and you’ll be notified when they get a UK premiere date.
