Anne Rice’s ‘Talamasca’ Series at AMC Casts Maisie Richardson-Sellers (EXCLUSIVE)

As a seasoned movie enthusiast with a penchant for the fantastical and the enigmatic, I find myself thoroughly intrigued by Maisie Richardson-Sellers‘ latest role in “The Talamasca.” Her extensive resume, spanning from “The Originals” to “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” has always been a testament to her versatility and adaptability as an actress.


It’s been confirmed that Maisie Richardson-Sellers will be playing a key role in the new AMC show “The Talamasca,” according to our exclusive information from EbMaster.

In various books by Rice, there’s a clandestine organization known as the Talamasca. The proposed television series is intended to delve into the lives of those individuals tasked with locating and managing the witches, vampires, and other supernatural beings that can be found across the world.

Richardson-Sellers has been added to the already announced cast members Nicholas Denton, William Fichtner, and Elizabeth McGovern. In her role, she takes on the character of Olive, a captivating and ambitious member of the Talamasca, tasked as the American liaison for Guy Anatole (Denton). She excels in gathering information and uses the age-old art of disguise reminiscent of espionage.

As a movie enthusiast, I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing the captivating talent of actress Jessica Collins-Richardson. Known for her mesmerizing performances in series like “The Originals” and “Legends of Tomorrow” on The CW, she’s also starred alongside Simon Pegg and Mark Rylance in the gripping cyber thriller “The Undeclared War.

She is repped by TFC Management, Gersh, Denton Brierley, and Schreck Rose.

The series titled “The Talamasca” is part of AMC’s Anne Rice Immortal Universe, which also includes “Interview with the Vampire” and “Mayfair Witches”. Initial reports of its development at AMC surfaced in 2023, and it received official approval from AMC in June 2024. Currently being produced in Manchester, England, AMC has commissioned six episodes for this show, set to air on both AMC and AMC+ in 2025.

John Lee Hancock and Mark Lafferty are both serving as executive producers and co-showrunners on “The Talamasca.” Additionally, Hancock is also set to direct. Meanwhile, Mark Johnson serves as an executive producer under his overall deal with AMC Studios, which allows him to oversee all shows in the Anne Rice Immortal Universe.
