Interview with the Vampire spin-off becomes the latest 2026 TV casualty as Talamasca: The Secret Order canceled after just 1 season

Interview with the Vampire spin-off Talamasca: The Secret Order is the latest in a string of this year's TV casualties. AMC has canceled the show after one season, Variety reports.

"While we are not proceeding with another season of Talamasca: The Secret Order, we are proud of the series and grateful for the efforts of everyone involved," an AMC spokesperson told the publication in a statement. "The Talamasca has a storied place within the Anne Rice Immortal Universe, and we expect to see at least some of these characters, and the organization itself, in future expressions of the franchise."

Created by Mr. Harrigan's Phone director John Lee Hancock, the show follows Guy Anatole, played by Nicholas Denton, who has the ability to read people's minds. He's recruited to join the Talamasca, a secret society that monitors the activity of immortal beings, like vampires and witches, to maintain order with the mortal, human world.

Eric Bogosian, who plays Daniel Malloy in Interview with the Vampire, made a crossover cameo in the show, and Jason Schwartzman also appeared in a guest role. The show had a fairly lukewarm response from critics after it premiered in October 2025, with a score of 61% on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes.

Talamasca: The Secret Order didn't adapt any specific Ann Rice novels, like Interview with the Vampire and The Mayfair Witches, but instead created a new story around the organization that features in those novels. Elsewhere in AMC's Immortal Universe, Interview with the Vampire is returning for a third season later this year, and The Mayfair Witches has also been renewed for a third installment.

Interview with the Vampire season 3 arrives on AMC on June 7. In the meantime, check out our guide to the other best new TV shows on the way in 2026.
