Anne Rice’s Talamasca’sspooky season release sets it up to be a major Halloween horror television event. The show’s trailer exhibits elements of bothInterview with the VampireandMayfair Witches, offering something to everyone. The question is whether it will offer the best of both worlds or lose itself in contrived connections.
In 2025, shared universes aren’t too challenging to come by in film or television, but that doesn’t mean the creation of a new one is inherently bad. The Immortal Universe has been going for years, butAnne Rice’sTalamascawill likely be a pivotal test for whether it has legs.
