In attendance on the convention's main stage for Anne Rice's The Vampire Lestat - retitled from Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire - were executive producers Mark Johnson and Hannah Moscovitch and cast members Sam Reid, Jacob Anderson, Eric Bogosian, Jennifer Ehle and Assad Zaman. Christopher Rice and the late Anne Rice also executive produce the latest season of the AMC/AMC+ series, which is expected sometime in 2026.

Talamasca is also executive-produced by Mark Lafferty, who co-showruns with Hancock. Additional EPs include Tom Williams and Christopher and Anne Rice. The series follows Guy Anatole, a young man on the verge of graduating from law school, when he is approached by Helen (Elizabeth McGovern), a representative of the Talamasca, a secretive agency that monitors and protects humans from the supernatural world. The Talamasca has been tracking him since his childhood, and soon he falls headlong into a world of secret agents and immortal beings charged with maintaining a fragile balance with the mortal world. The cast also includes Maisie Richardson-Sellers, Celine Buckens, Jason Schwartzman and Bogosian reprising his Interview with the Vampire role as a crossover character. Read on for more on what the cast and creative teams behind both AMC/AMC+ series teased during their respective portions of the New York Comic Con panel. Talamasca: The Secret Order As part of the Talamasca portion of the event, a clip featuring Interview With the Vampire star Bogosian, who portrays journalist and author Daniel Molloy, was screened for fans alongside a larger discussion previewing the series and a special appearance by Bogosian. During the rest of the conversation, the cast and creative team discussed how they adapted an aspect of Rice's novels that didn't have their own book. Johnson noted that the premise of the series - "agents whose job is basically to observe, to report and not to interfere, which seldom happens" felt like a good base for this show. Hancock leaned into his own interests in the spy genre and the work of John le Carré to help shape this take on Talamasca. In terms of how the series invites Daniel Molloy into the narrative, Bogosian teased that it ties into the novel viewers learn he wrote at the end of Interview season two, "Guy finds that there is a piece of information in the book that he needs to know more about," which explains a bit about the scene in which the duo connect in the new series. "When we shot it, we didn't know each other before we did the scene. And that's actually what happened in the scene. I was working with Nick, and I kept feeling Nick's charisma and he kept pulling me toward his energy in a way that was so positive and so empathetic." In terms of who Guy is, "he's got some ambition, but he also has something else going on. He's got this disability. He's heard voices for years, since he was a kid, and he's always thought that that was something, that was a mental illness of sorts, so he's heavily medicated himself, but he actually does find out that he has the mind reading. And that's what begins to happen with Daniel Malloy in this scene, and I think that maybe gives him a little bit more leverage in all of it." In terms of Jasper, Fichtner noted that his character is misunderstood. "That was part of the joy of working on this. I've said it a million times. If it's not on the page, it's not on the stage, and what John Lee and the entire writers and Mark Lafferty, co-showrunner, put together was something that was so grounded in this world that it was a pleasure to discover who Jasper is," he said. "It's just wonderful to figure out what is driving this guy, which are very real things to him." After an exclusive clip featuring monsters known as "revenants," the panelists discussed having to film late at night du
