AMC’s Interview with the Vampire is ideal for fans of vampire lore and these 10 series will be excellent for continuing the genre binge.
9Ciprien Grieve’s Season 2 Arc May Support Interview With The Vampire
Ciprien Grieve May Become More Important
Mayfair Witchesseason 1introduced its original character Ciprien Grieve, who may end up triggering spiraling Immortal Universe connections that influence season 2. Ciprien Grieve seemed to be a replacement for Anne Rice character Michael Curry on the show, although he also assumed some of the roles taken up by Anne Rice character Aaron Lightner. Judging from this,Grieve may end up inInterview with the Vampire.
Interview with the Vampireseason 3 is expected to come out sometime in 2025.
Michael Curry had a part to play in Anne Rice’sThe Vampire Chroniclesbook series, dipping into the arc that Rowan shared with Lestat. Towards the end of the book series, Michael was romantically involved with Rowan Mayfair, but their relationship was facing vampire-related threats. IfMayfair Witchesreally does intend to replace Michael Curry with Ciprien Grieves throughout the duration of the show,Grieves could be in for a bumpy ride withInterview with the Vampirecharacters.
8The Talamasca Can Get Information On The Taltos From Mayfair Witches
The Talamasca May Need The Mayfair Witches
By the end ofInterview with the Vampireseason 2, the show had finished locking its character Raglan James into the narrative, creatinga Talamasca character that may appear inMayfair Witches. WhileInterview with the Vampireended with Louis finding peace with his vampire nature and Lestat starting a new chapter, the fate of Raglan James was more mysterious. His next appearance could well be inMayfair Witchesseason 2.
Mayfair Witchesseason 2 will premiere sometime in 2025.
The Talamasca were a secret society in Anne Rice’s world that investigated the paranormal, and AMC has anew Talamasca showin development, so the likelihood of Talamasca characters crossing intoMayfair Witchesis high. Especially whenMayfair Witches’mysterious, supernaturalLasher is of a species that the Talamasca may have to look into. Anne Rice readers will know that Lasher is a Taltos, which the Talamasca dealt with in the books.
10 Anne Rice Book Characters Who Can Appear In AMC’s Talamasca Show
Anne Rice created many supernatural characters in her books, and The Talamasca is set to show those old and new to the Immortal Universe franchise.
7The Talamasca Member Michael Curry May Still Join Mayfair Witches
Anne Rice Character Michael Curry May Join The Cast
AlthoughCiprien Grieves appears to be Michael Curry’s replacementin AMC’s Immortal Universe, there are plenty more seasons ofMayfair Witchesto go, so this may not remain the case. Michael Curry is one of thecharacters that could appear inThe Talamasca,Mayfair Witches, orInterview with the Vampire. Curry’s role in Anne Rice’s tenthVampire Chronicle,Blood Canticle, made sure of that.
Mayfair Witchesseason 1 was released on July 21, 2025.
Rowan has got herself romantically intertwined with Ciprien Grieves inMayfair Witches, but it’s possible that CiprienGrieves is being used to set up a more complex and profound connection to Michael Curry. Not introduced yet, Curry could be the character that picks up the pieces if Grieves meets an untimely death inMayfair Witchesseason 2. This character’s death could motivate Rowan to take control of her own destiny. Alternatively, Curry could appear as a part of Mona Mayfair’s arc inMayfair Witchesseason 2.
What Mayfair Witches Season 2 Must Learn From AMC’s Interview With The Vampire
Mayfair Witches season 2 is coming to AMC in 2025, but the show needs to learn one crucial lesson from Interview with the Vampire if it’s to succeed.
6Raglan James Is A Talamasca Member That Could Approach The Witches
Interview With The Vampire Set Up Mayfair Witches Season 2
Of all theInterview with the Vampirecharactersthroughout seasons 1 and 2, Raglan James may have been the supporting character with the biggest implications, which could lead to his inclusion inMayfair Witches. Although not a main character in the show,Raglan James was the main antagonist ofThe Tale of the Body Thief,the fourth book in Anne Rice’sVampire Chronicles. His involvement with Lestat could link him to Rowan Mayfair.
Interview with the Vampireseason 2 was out on July 05, 2025.
The show’s Raglan James has played the role of protagonist on the sidelines so far, helping perhaps the closest thing the show has to a hero, Daniel Molloy, discover the truth about vampires.If Raglan James goes on to play his canonical role inInterview with the Vampire, he will be crossing paths with the vampire Lestatde Lioncourt. Lestat, of all vampires, may have the biggest connection to Rowan Mayfair.
5David Talbot Is A Prominent Talamasca Member With Ties To Merrick
David May Appear In Mayfair Witches
Anne Rice fans will know David Talbot well fromThe Tale of the Body Thief,andDavid’s complexVampire Chroniclesstorycould have an impact onMayfair Witchesseason 2. David was the older, well-to-do Superior General of the Talamasca in Anne Rice’s books, so he led the Talamasca throughout many of the fiascos they encountered, including those of the Mayfairs. The Talamasca’s key role inMayfair Witchesmeans thatDavid may join season 2.
David Talbot’s most significant interaction with the Mayfairs in Anne Rice’s world may have been in the seventhVampire Chronicle,Merrick. The novel’s titular character, Merrick, appeared inLives of the Mayfair Witchesas a supporting character but took the starring role inMerrick. AsMayfair Witchescontinues adopting the novels, making unpredictable changes,Merrick and David could easily be a Mayfair-Talamasca team that makes it to season 2.
There’s 1 Upcoming Anne Rice Immortal Universe Series Everyone Is Forgetting & I’m Really Excited About It
AMC+ has launched its Anne Rice TV franchise, Immortal Universe, to critical acclaim and I’m particularly excited about one show that may join it.
4Louis De Pointe Du Lac Has Involvement With A Mayfair
Louis May Join Mayfair Witches At Some Point
Louis de Pointe du Lac may be the best Anne Rice character, sohis participation inMayfair Witchesseason 2 would be welcome. Louis is the main character of the first novel inThe Vampire Chronicles,Interview with the Vampire. It is this book thatInterview with the Vampireseasons 1 and 2 adapted, giving viewers lots of time to warm to Louis' character so far. Louis played an important role in book seven, which charted his engagement with Merrick Mayfair, and could lead to his appearance inMayfair Witches.
Louis interacted with Merrick Mayfair and David Talbot inMerrickin a storyline that didn’t occur until later in the books, so it’s possible that Merrick won’t joinInterview with the Vampireuntil later seasons. If Merrick does joinInterview with the Vampireseason 3, Merrick and Louis' future inMayfair Witcheswould be as good as sealed, sincethe series would be remiss to skip a Mayfair covered in other shows. Louis is so key to Merrick’s story thatMayfair Witchesmay have to bring him in along with Merrick.
3Mona Mayfair Is One Of Lestat’s Friends
Lestat May Help Welcome Mona To Mayfair Witches
Crossover character Mona Mayfair is one of the main characters ofLasher, the secondLives of the Mayfair Witchesbook, and should feature in coming seasons ofMayfair Witches. Mona is Rowan’s cousin, and didn’t star inMayfair Witchesseason 1. Despite this,Mayfair Witchesseason 2 is set to adapt Lasher, so Mona’s appearance in season 2 is likely.Mona’s business acumen and promiscuous nature would make her a highlight forMayfair Witches, while she may be gearing up to appear in their other shows as well.
It is Mona’s crossover appeal that makes her ripe for insertion intoMayfair Witchesseason 2, withInterview with the Vampirecharacters playing a big part in her story throughout the Anne Rice world. Lestat de Lioncourt occupies the majority of the plotline in books eight, nine and ten ofThe Vampire Chronicles, whereby his adventures with Mona and Quinn break into lots ofMayfair Witchesterritory.
2Tarquin Blackwood Of The Vampire Chronicles Has Mayfair Ties
Interview With The Vampire May Use Crossover Characters
Tarquin Blackwood, otherwise known as “Quinn”, was the first-person narrator of Anne Rice’s novelBlackwood Farm, and has a huge tie to the Mayfairs that could see him included inMayfair Witchesseason 2. Quinn participated in the three-part mini-arc at the end ofThe Vampire Chroniclesthat had a huge crossover withLives of the Mayfair Witches. IfInterview with the Vampireseason 3 starts alluding to this arc,Quinn may well feature inMayfair Witchesseason 2.
…his love for Mona Mayfair stands him in good stead for an appearance inMayfair Witchesseason 2.
Like Merrick and Louis,Quinn’s role inInterview with the Vampiremay not come until later. WithInterview with the Vampireseason 3 about to adapt books two and three,The Vampire LestatandThe Queen of the Damned, Quinn’s inclusion is a maybe. Whether or not Quinn is inInterview with the Vampireseason 3 or future seasons, his love for Mona Mayfair stands him in good stead for an appearance inMayfair Witchesseason 2.
1Lestat De Lioncourt And Rowan Mayfair Share A Destiny
Lestat And Rowan May Meet
Lestat de Lioncourt and Rowan Mayfair are consecutively the main characters ofThe Vampire ChroniclesandThe Lives of the Mayfair Witches, andImmortal Universe may start to foreshadow their powerful relationship as early asMayfair Witchesseason 2. Lestat and Rowan didn’t get close until near the end ofThe Vampire Chronicles, soInterview with the Vampireseason 3 may not touch on it. However, a moment between Rowan and Lestat would be an intriguing Easter egg, alluding to their connection in the books, and possible future Immortal Universe meetings.
Rowan has to go through her whole arc withMayfair Witches’version of Michael Curry, Ciprien Grieves, before she can move on to her liaison with Lestat de Lioncourt. But depending on howMayfair Witchesseason 2 plays its Ciprien storyline,Rowan’s relationship with him could be doomed quicker than he hopes.This wouldmake way forInterview with the Vampire’slead to move into the story and start engaging with Rowan, as he did in the books.
