AMC’s TALAMASCA Will Have Another INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE Crossover

While we wait for The Vampire Lestat in 2026, AMC’s Anne Rice Immortal Universe expands to a third series this year with Talamasca: The Secret Order, which drops its first six-episode season this fall. The show will cover the exploits of the 1,000-year-old scholarly society that studies the supernatural. Via Entertainment Weekly, we’ve learned that the show will have another crossover with Interview with the Vampire, aside from the upcoming appearance from Eric Bogosian.

In episode four, actor Justin Kirk will return as Talamasca agent Raglan James. And that’s a name that hardcore Anne Rice fans should be quite familiar with. Here’s what he had to say about his return:

I love being Raglan James. I started with the mothership, Interview With the Vampire, and when I heard that there was going to be a show about the Talamasca — because that’s where my character comes from and there’s not a book per se about that — I assumed they’d be calling me at some point. And I’m delighted that they did. He comes in at a moment in the season where we get this shot of adrenaline from his character. Raglan’s always looking out for himself and is a real lone wolf. There is something that our main character, Guy, has been tasked to retrieve, and it just might be that Raglan is on a similar pursuit.

Fans of Anne Rice’s work should be excited about how much AMC is using Raglan James as a character. In the fourth Vampire Chronicle, 1992’s The Tale of the Body Thief, James first appears as the titular Body Thief. He body switches with Lestat, leaving the immortal vampire in a weak human form. This would be the basis for a potential future season, probably the fifth Interview with the Vampire season overall. Of course, there’s no guarantee we get there. But it would be the perfect endpoint for the saga, if they so choose. We’ll just have to wait and see if the seed they are planting with Justin Kirk’s character of Raglan James will bear fruit in a future season of television.

Anne Rice’s Talamasca: The Secret Order premieres Sunday, Oct. 26, on AMC and AMC+.
