Talamasca: The Secret Order’s Nicholas Denton Teases a Coming-of-Age Story for Guy

by

Okay, so I’m really excited about this! Anne Rice’s world is getting even bigger later this month with a new series called *Talamasca: The Secret Order*. It’s based on *The Vampire Chronicles*, which, obviously, I’m already into. But the lead actor has said it’s not *just* horror – it’s also going to be a surprisingly sweet coming-of-age story. Sounds like a cool mix!

He then discussed Rice’s writing style overall, connecting it to the characters within her stories. He explained that her work often explores morally gray areas and difficult choices. He described it as characters constantly facing a question: ‘Do I go this way, or that way?’

Denton shared insights into Guy’s character arc throughout the six episodes of *Talamasca*. He explained that viewers will see a significant transformation in Guy from the first episode, as he matures and learns to handle life independently. Denton described this journey as a ‘coming of age’ story and expressed his enjoyment of portraying it.

Mark Lafferty, the executive producer of *Talamasca*, has hinted that the series will connect *Interview with the Vampire* and *Mayfair Witches*, delving into previously unseen aspects of Anne Rice’s world. The story follows Guy Anatole, a lost NYU law school graduate who becomes involved with the Talamasca, an organization that observes and researches vampires, witches, ghosts, and other supernatural creatures.

What really captivated me was understanding Jasper’s motivations – why he’s involved in the story this season. That, more than anything, felt like the core of his journey, because he has a specific purpose, and he’s angry about it, as we discover.

Talamasca: The Secret Order will premiere on AMC on Oct. 26, 2025.
