AMC's Immortal Universe Creatives Tease Upcoming Crossovers In The Talamasca & Mayfair Witches Season 2 (2025)

AMC's Immortal Universe creatives Mark Johnson and Esta Spalding have teased upcoming crossovers in both The Talamasca series and Mayfair Witches season 2 at New York Comic Con. 2025 is shaping up to be a big year for the Immortal Universe, with Mayfair Witches season 2 premiering on January 5, 2025, where Spalding reprises her role as showrunner. At the same time, a new original series, The Talamasca, has gone into development, also airing next year. Johnson serves as executive producer on both shows, alongside Interview with the Vampire.

Speaking at New York Comic Con, Johnson and Spalding teased upcoming crossovers for the Immortal Universe's Talamasca series and Mayfair Witches season 2. The executive producer explained how the new series can help bridge the gap between the witch-centric series and Interview with the Vampire, confirming characters from both shows will appear in the series. Spalding went on to confirm that episode 3 of Mayfair Witches will feature a character from the vampire series, indicating a more cohesive shared universe is being built. Check out what Johnson and Spalding had to say below:

Mark Johnson: You know what, it's very hard for us to think of legitimate ways to crossover between Mayfair Witches and Interview with the Vampire. However, in the show we're shooting right now, Talamasca, there's going to be considerable crossover, and some characters you've fallen in love with - or fallen in hate with - in both shows may appear in The Talamasca.

Esta Spalding: We do have one character we were lucky enough to get from Interview with the Vampire who comes into our third episode. So episode 3, you will see one character.

What Upcoming Crossovers Mean For The Immortal Universe

Everything Is About To Be Tied Strongly Together

Based on what Johnson and Spalding have said about both Mayfair Witches season 2 and The Talamasca TV show, 2025 appears to be the year everything in the Immortal Universe is finally going to connect more directly. This was already hinted at during Interview with the Vampire season 2, when Daniel Malloy (Eric Bogosian) was given secret documents by Raglan James (Justin Kirk), a member of the Talamasca. With a character from the show set to appear elsewhere in the universe soon, stronger ties are about to form between all three shows.

The only show whose future tie-ins are unconfirmed is Interview with the Vampire season 3, whose focus on Lestat (Sam Reid) might not allow much wiggle room for characters from other series to appear. However, given the cohesive ties between the show and other Immortal Universe series so far, it would make sense for the continuation to also feature a crossover with the rest of the franchise. Given the tie-ins now confirmed for the two shows coming next year, it's clear the growing universe is going to be embracing its larger world moving forward.

Our Take On Upcoming Immortal Universe Crossovers

They Tie Everything Together More Concretely

Johnson and Spalding's hints at more concrete ties between shows in the Immortal Universe indicate the shows are going to become increasingly more tied together as they go on. This could indicate a much larger story is in the works, one that requires Mayfair Witches, The Talamasca, and Interview with the Vampire in order to fully work. With the shared universe only really just getting started, it remains to be seen how many crossovers are going to happen as it continues to be developed.
