Does The Talamasca: The Secret Order have a release window yet? Here's what the latest AMC updates look like

Yes, it does! Well away from all previous rumors, The Talamasca: The Secret Order officially does indeed have a release window—and soon. AMC officially announced that the series will be coming in late 2025, in accordance with an announcement that was made as part of the network's 2024 upfront presentation. The announcement also came with word of a six-episode first season, ending all previous rumors regarding the show's calendar.

So, if you’ve been wondering whether this spinoff from Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe is still stuck in development limbo, here’s the reality: it’s not. The series is very much alive and moving forward. Production began in Fall 2024, with AMC confirming the filming location as Manchester, England.

What is the Talamasca: The Secret Order about?

The series explores the inner world of the Talamasca, an occult cult with a dark existence that threads throughout Anne Rice's novels. Familiar with researching supernatural creatures—vampires, witches, ghosts, and even werewolves—the Talamasca is a quiet participant in the occult happenings of Rice's world.

AMC will follow AMC's strategy in further exploring the evil activities of Talamasca. Unlike Interview with the Vampire or Mayfair Witches, based on supernatural creatures themselves, the series inverts the interest of those who study them. Such a transformation creates a different take on the Immortal Universe and potentially bridges the stories within multiple shows.

What is the current status of the series?

Although the project was previously reported to be "early in development," The Talamasca: The Secret Order has moved forward since then. According to Collider and TheWrap, production began officially filming in Fall 2024 and is currently underway.

Manchester shoot photos have surfaced, and the updates are being disclosed on a regular basis. Though exact plot points are being kept secret, the shift from development to production is a big step forward. With late 2025 as its roll-out time, the timeline aligns with AMC's intended roll-out plan for the Immortal Universe.

How does this fit into AMC's immortal universe of Talamasca: The Secret Order?

Talamasca has previously been discussed in Interview with the Vampire and Mayfair Witches, and it is a connection between the two series. AMC appears to be drawing on that mythology to create a more diverse world and the Talamasca as its center.

This growth strategy says the network is moving towards a more integrated franchise. With Mayfair Witches and Interview with the Vampire Season 2 underway, The Talamasca: The Secret Order appears to be digging deeper into the mythology rather than just picking up where something else leaves off. It's not a spin-off—it's a bridge.

Who's behind the scenes of Talamasca: The Secret Order?

The series is in good hands. John Lee Hancock, whose previous credits include The Blind Side, and Mark Lafferty, whose previous credits include Halt and Catch Fire, are executive producers and co-showrunners. Hancock also directs the series. Their team brings a combination of cinematic direction and serialized storytelling to the fore.

The creative team's background suggests a balance of depth of story and visual interest—both requirements of a tale of secrets, espionage, and paranormal investigation.

In short, The Talamasca: The Secret Order is no longer a development concept—it's officially on its way to becoming AMC's next supernatural drama. With the show now in production and a release window set, fans can expect to see more concrete updates as the year progresses.
