Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) is ready to make his debut as a rock star. But fans won't have to wait until *Interview With the Vampire* (which is rebranding as *The Vampire Lestat* for season 3) returns in 2026 to hear his hits.

** has learned that Lestat's music will be heard first in AMC's new Anne Rice Immortal Universe series, *Talamasca: The Secret Order*, as an Easter egg in episode 5.

"If a viewer is listening very closely in episode 5, they might hear something coming through the speakers of a bar that is a direct tie to another of the series, and might also give somebody some residuals from *Talamasca*," co-showrunner Mark Lafferty tells EW exclusively. "If they're listening at just the right time, they just might hear a track or two that comes from Lestat."

As Lestat himself would say, "Siri, volume up!"

*Interview With the Vampire* launched the Immortal Universe in 2022, and is officially changing its title to *The Vampire Lestat *when it returns for season 3, based on Rice's second book of the same name. As Lestat takes center stage as a rock star in the next chapter of the story, of course he takes over the show's title, too. Would you expect anything less from the Brat Prince?

Following *Interview With the Vampire* and *Mayfair Witches*, AMC's third TV show based on author Rice's beloved *The Vampire Chronicles* book series is the new spinoff, *Talamasca: The Secret Order* (premiering with two episodes on Sunday, Oct. 26 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on AMC and AMC+). This show explores the titular shadowy organization, featured in both existing shows and many of Rice's books, that tracks and controls vampires, witches, and other supernatural creatures around the world.

But unlike the previous two series, *Talamasca* follows a completely original story not pulled from any particular novel, as new character Guy Anatole (Nicholas Denton) is recruited — well, more like forced — into the order to carry out a clandestine mission in which the tenuous peace between mortals and immortals hangs in the balance.

Executive producer Mark Johnson, who oversees AMC's entire Anne Rice Immortal Universe, warns that even the most dedicated fans have no idea what's coming. "They may know about what the organization is, and they may know some great stories about some loyal and disloyal agents of the Talamasca," Johnson says. "[But] there isn't a Talamasca book."

And that's exactly why this new series was created. Throughout the development of three seasons of *Interview With the Vampire* and two seasons of *Mayfair Witches*, Johnson became intrigued by the organization that kept popping up at pivotal moments in the story yet was never fully explored in Rice's books.

"We've often said it's sort of like a dramatic or a non-comical version of *Men in Black,*" Johnson says. "And I just thought, 'Surely there's a show in here.'"

In addition to Lestat's music, *Talamasca* will also feature two more *Interview With the Vampire* crossovers in the six-episode first season: Eric Bogosian appears in the series premiere as journalist Daniel Molloy, and Justin Kirk returns as shady, opportunistic Talamasca agent Raglan James in episode 4.
