Warning: SPOILERS ahead for Interview with the Vampire season 2 finale!Interview with the Vampire season 2 has ended, with some of the key plot developments that happened throughout its episodes making another Immortal Universe series even more exciting. Interview with the Vampire season 2 focused on Louis recounting his time in Paris with Claudia, including how the pair met Armand, whom Louis fell in love with. In the meantime, Daniel recorded the vampiric duo’s testimony about their past for his book, listening as the Interview with the Vampire cast grew with new faces from their past.

However, all did not end well, as the final episode revealed it was not Armand, but Lestat who had saved Louis from being executed by the Théâtre des Vampires. This resulted in a heartfelt reunion between Louis and his first love, setting the stage for Interview with the Vampire season 3. However, other key events in the season 2 finale, set up throughout the last few episodes, make a different show in AMC’s Immortal Universe even more exciting, teasing what the future of the franchise will bring.

The Talamasca Had A Big Role In Interview With The Vampire Season 2

Their Influence Drove Daniel’s Later Interview Sessions

The biggest tease for the future of the Immortal Universe came in Interview with the Vampire season 2, episode 3, when Daniel is given documents related to Louis by Talamasca agent Raglan James. The Talamasca is a secretive organization that monitors the supernatural, with many of its agents harboring supernatural abilities themselves. They first appeared in the Mayfair Witches TV show, with their debut in the vampire series helping to strengthen the connection between the two shows.

Raglan’s documents coupled with his insistence on how Daniel should conduct the back half of the interview lead to many revelations about Armand. Not only did he wipe the reporter and Louis’ memories of San Francisco in 1973, but he also took credit for Lestat saving Louis. It’s unclear how much of this made it into Daniel’s final publication, though: The Talamasca ended up helping him get his in-universe novel Interview with the Vampire published, with multiple parts omitted and changed. But their involvement with the book sets up bigger things than season 3 of the pre-established series.

Interview With The Vampire Season 2’s Ending Sets Up The Talamasca’s Spinoff

The Immortal Universe Is Starting To Expand

In June 2023, AMC greenlit a new Immortal Universe series under the working title The Talamasca. Slated for a late 2025 release, the new show is expected to follow the organization that currently ties Interview with the Vampire and Mayfair Witches into the same fictional world. While it’s unclear what the premise is going to be as of writing, it’s possible the series will be directly influenced from events in the existing two shows. This includes the publication of Daniel’s book and the subsequent fallout within the vampire community.

The Talamasca series could explain why the organization allowed Daniel’s book to be published in the first place, including why certain omissions were made from Louis’ original story. It can use the novel as a jumping-off point, establishing what the organization’s true goals are and why they’re willing to reveal the supernatural to the world without much fanfare. The show could also include some familiar faces from around the Immortal Universe, further cementing the show as an important fixture of the growing franchise.

How The Talamasca Could Lead To An Immortal Universe Crossover

The Organization Is An Important Connective Piece

Alongside explaining the agency’s role, The Talamasca could become a lead-in for a crossover between Interview with the Vampire and Mayfair Witches. Given the organization now has an important part to play in both shows, it would make sense for the spinoff to provide connective tissue acknowledging the events of the other two series. With Mayfair Witches season 2 likely airing before the new series, it seems like the perfect opportunity to strengthen the Immortal Universe’s closeness by leading into the upcoming show. Or perhaps making direct acknowledgment of Interview with the Vampire too.

With the Talamasca having interfered with Daniel’s book while also influencing parts of Interview with the Vampire season 2’s story, it seems like their upcoming spinoff will provide more connections within the Immortal Universe. While the main story of the new show might not directly coincide with either existing series, Easter eggs and nods to prior events could help expand the franchise. The Talamasca is now an exciting addition, something that could make nods to either series while also setting the stage for a bigger universe as the series’ continue.
