Denton stars as Guy Anatole; 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.
McGovern’s Helen is a seasoned veteran of the Talamasca, and the leader of its New York Motherhouse; Fichtner’s Jasper is a mysterious American who has quietly assumed control and influence over the Talamasca’s London Motherhouse; Richardson-Sellers’s Olive is a beguiling and ambitious agent of the Talamasca; Buckens’s Doris is strong-willed and with an old soul, she lives with a coven of witches on a houseboat; while Schwartzman’s Burton is a charming, rakish vampire, leading a cloistered life in a luxurious Upper West Side penthouse. Of course, Bogosian is reprising his IWTV role as Daniel Molloy, with Kirk returning as Talamasca agent Raglan James.
AMC’s Anne Rice’s Talamasca is executive produced by director John Lee Hancock (The Blind Side) and Mark Lafferty (The Right Stuff, Halt and Catch Fire), who also serve as co-showrunners, award-winning producer Mark Johnson, who oversees “Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe,” and Tom Williams, along with Christopher Rice and the late Anne Rice.
