9Werewolves From The Wolf Gift Chronicles
The Talamasca May Be Watching Reuben Golding
The mere fact of the Talamasca getting its own television show suggest aWolf Giftspinoff , or at the very least , its inclusion of content fromThe Wolf Gift . The Wolf Gift Chroniclesfollowed journalist Reuben Golding over his shift into a werewolfas he learned about his new abilities . Golding leaned into his newfound lycanthrope status to give chase down evildoer , adopting a vigilante position that sometimes made the rule book finger like a superhero story .

While not a villain , Golding is the kind of monster that the Talamasca would desire to keep tab key on . Their goal is to watch rather than get ask , unless utterly necessary . The Talamascamay feature a werewolf arc whereby Ciprien Grieves ofMayfair Witches , or another paranormal detective , may have to get to the bottom of a run of crimes that seem to be carried out by some kind of dangerous animate being .
8Lestat De Lioncourt And Reuben Golding Would Get Along
Lestat And Reuben Might Have A Spark In The Talamasca
Anne Rice had a lot of sexual love for the protagonists ofThe Vampire ChroniclesandThe Wolf Gift Chronicles , Lestat and Reuben , to the tip of her mesmerism that they ’d get along . Lestat has vast sleeper to the Talamascain the volume , so his coming into court in the show is totally possible . With werewolf Reuben presenting exactly the kind of brute the Talamasca are there to watch over , the two appearing together inthe newTalamascashowis not a far - fetched thought . Anne Rice said at the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo :
I think they ’d respect each other … Lestat would be careful . [ Reuben ] is a guy rope who can walk in the day , and is very strong and live . I cerebrate Lestat would be super guarded with him , but I consider he ’d like him . He ’d be concerned . And I think Reuben would be fascinated with Lestat . Everybody ’s fascinated with Lestat . He ’s my irresistible one . I mean , anyway .
Anne Rice was answer to a interrogation about what would happen if Lestat met Reuben , based on how she often introduce characters from one Holy Writ series into another . This is why Immortal Universe works so well as a TV franchise - many Anne Rice books that at first seemed disconnected were eventually break to exist in the same world , providing immense oscilloscope and flexibility . Themutual fascination between Reuben and Lestat could provide an aroused hookinThe Talamascawithout getting in the way of either part ’s chief plot line .
7Ciprien Grieves Is Involved In The Talamasca
Mayfair Witches Character Ciprien May Appear
Mayfair Witchesseason 2 is trusted to fetch one of its main lineament , Ciprien Grieve back to the foreground , andthere ’s no reason why he could n’t come out inThe Talamasca . Ciprien is the most striking fellow member of the Talamasca inMayfair Witches . He introduce viewers to the organisation through Rowan as he explained their use and his desire to assist her control her world power . He seems to be an version of the Michael Curry character inLives of theMayfair Witches .
The Talamasca , Mayfair Witchesseason 2 , andInterview with the Vampireseason 3 are estimated for going in 2025 .
Ciprien was experiencing some difficulties with his budding Latinian language with new Mayfair witch and principal character of the show , Rowan Mayfair , at the end of season 1 . With the Talamasca so intemperately convoluted with the Mayfairs in the books and shows , it seems inevitable thatMayfair Witches ' chief Talamasca representative will crop upin the upcoming show . The Talamascamay character his riotous relationship arc with Rowan .
AMC ’s Anne Rice idiot box adaption have already started setting up Mayfair Witches season 2 across Interview with the Vampire and The Talamasca .
6Julien And Cortland Mayfair Will Be Up To No Good
Cortland’s Father Will Join Mayfair Witches
As divulge in theMayfair Witchesseason 2 trailerat SDCC , the nefarious Cortland Mayfair will return inMayfair Witchesseason 2 , and his father will be join him too . As such , The Talamascacould be in for a cameo from the twosometo explore their canonical human relationship with the organization . Cortland was different in the books and did n’t occupy quite the same incompatible persona , but he was associated with the Talamasca in both show and book .
AMCannounced that Ted Levine will joinMayfair Witchesseason 2 as Julien Mayfair , Cortland ’s Padre . Cortland actor Harry Hamlin promised “ many awesome things ” between them . With Cortland and the Talamasca working together on the ominous prognostication fulfillment of season 1 , Cortland is poised to go through “ very , very eldritch thing ” as he sail biography with his father inMayfair Witchesseason 2 , and quite possiblyThe Talamasca(viaCollider).Julien and Cortland would provideThe Talamascawith a sinister presenceand the means to research its moral boundaries and limitations .
5The Talamasca May Need To Control The Vampire Felix
Felix Appears In Mayfair Witches Season 2
An exciting crossover teased by theMayfair Witchesseason 2 trailer was the coming into court ofInterview with the Vampirecharacter Felix , who could hail up against the Talamasca in the approaching show . Played by Gabriel Freilich , he help Lestat in the last episode ofInterview with the Vampireand can be seen for a heartbeat bearing his fang sharply in theMayfair Witchesseason 2 trailer . Like Reuben , Felix is a character that the Talamasca would seek to contain .
Felix was an previous and powerful lamia , one of the first members of the Théâtre des Vampires in Anne Rice ’s world . With no serious patch points tied into the source material of either Immortal Universe show , he could be a good choice forThe Talamascato take and make their own . Felix ’s appearance inMayfair Witchesseason 2 could be planned in and around this , with his interaction with Lestat inInterview with the Vampiredrawing him ever nigher to the organisation ’s cryptical operations .
4Jesse Reeves May Make Her Immortal Universe Appearance
The Queen Of The Damned Character Is A Talamasca Member
As one of the most important character of Anne Rice ’s thirdVampire Chronicle , The Queen of the Damned , and a member of the Talamasca , Jesse Reeves could be one of theAnne Rice character reference inThe Talamasca . audience with the Vampireseason 3 will adapt the secondVampire Chronicle , The Vampire Lestat , but will also touch onThe Queen of the Damned . As such , Jesse may joinInterview with the Vampireseason 3 , setting her up for a Talamasca visual aspect .
still , Jesse has n’t been denote for season 3 , and since many of its part have now been revealed , it would make more sense ifInterview with the Vampirebrought Jesse in for time of year 4 , if they do in fact program on adjust her character . no matter of her engagement in other Immortal Universe demonstrate , Jesse ’s key function in the Talamasca stand her in good stead to appearin the upcoming show . She may terminate up playing a leading role in the show to allow her true importance in the globe ’s lore to shine .
3One Mayfair Witch May Join The Talamasca
The Talamasca Could Feature Merrick Mayfair
It ’s insufferable to discount Merrick Mayfair when considering possible storylines forThe Talamasca . Merrick is the nominal character of the seventhVampire Chronicle , Merrick , andshe may be the only theatrical role in Anne Rice lore to be a vampire , a witch , and a fellow member of the Talamasca . She would be a waste scorecard discombobulate into Immortal Universe , possibly come across as overpowered in comparability to otherInterview with the Vampirecharactersor herMayfair Witchesfamily .
… Merrick gives Immortal Universe the chance to bring Claudia back as a ghost …
Merrick had a deep bail bond with Louis in the books , as one of his best-loved vampires . Her arc also served a very important narrative role - Merrick gives Immortal Universe the chance to add Claudia back as a ghost , as per her Merrick storyline . Joe Louis ego - identifies as a merry man inInterview with the Vampire , soThe Talamascamay downplay romantic feelings from Louis towards Merrick , but it may use Merrick ’s love spells to research sex . Either way , Merrick might just have to bulge up inThe Talamascaat some point .
2Lestat’s Character Development May Lead Him To The Talamasca
Lestat Had Numerous Ties To The Talamasca
Vampire Chronicles’lead anti - hero Lestatis on the QT the centerpiece ofInterview with the Vampire , even though seasons 1 and 2 focused on Louis , andThe Talamascacould honor this . With numerous link to the Talamasca , it seems almost inevitable that the vampireLestat de Lioncourt should grace the upcoming show with his presenceat some point . Lestat is due to abuse into his part as the master character ofThe Vampire ChroniclesinInterview with the Vampireseason 3 , as the SDCC trailer made evident . He will be prim from there on to dive into his Talamasca connections .
Lestat ’s inter-group communication with two Talamasca members - Jesse Reeves and the Superior General David Talbot - mark him out as an obvious cellular inclusion forThe Talamasca . Sam Reid ’s brainsick Lestat has been one of the highlight of recent television- he would bring sassing and drama to whatever sequence he joined . While this is an exciting prospect , Interview with the Vampireis so dependable that AMC+ would have to ensure that other shows were up to its monetary standard before risking muddying its water with crossing over .
There ’s a major crossover on the circuit board for Interview with the Vampire and Mayfair Witches but it might be a tough one to roll out well .
1Raglan James May Have Darker Intentions Than It Seems
The Talamasca Member Has A Dark Story
The first Talamasca member to appear in Immortal Universe , Raglan James was instrumental in Daniel Molloy ’s achiever inInterview with the Vampire . It ’s likely thatThe Talamascawill feature lots of original characters , accept an chance to cut up out its own path , but the show may be a just boulevard to search some of James ' dark , canonical story . Raglan James was boast inThe Tale of the Body Thiefalongside Lestat and David in a offense thriller par excellence , but Raglan James was not as helpful in this story as he was in the show .
Interview with the Vampirewill definitely get to the eternal sleep of Raglan James ' story , with showrunner Rolin Jones speaking toVulture , corroborate that his importance in the show will grow . With his canonical arc incoming , it seems likethis cardinal Talamasca extremity could at least get a mentionin the coming show . The Talamascacould offer interesting Easter testis and backstory for this vital case , while ascertain it did n’t disrupt the view experience of other shows as standalones .
