After the success of Anne Rice ‘s Interview with the Vampire and Anne Rice ‘s Mayfair Witches, comes news that AMC Networks is developing a third series set in the renowned author’s literary world.

The series, which is still untitled, is set in the world of the Talamasca, a secretive organisation featured in a number of Rice’s works which researches, watches over, and keeps track of all things paranormal, from witches and spirits to werewolves and vampires. The series adaptation comes from The Blind Side writer John Lee Hancock, who will serve as both showrunner and writer.

The announcement of this third series comes after both Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire and Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches were renewed for second seasons. Interview with the Vampire is currently in production on its second season, while Mayfair Witches is set to film its second season later this year.

“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.”
