Nicholas Denton To Headline ‘Anne Rice’s The Talamasca’ For AMC

Nicholas Denton (Dangerous Liaisons, Glitch) has been cast as the lead in Anne Rice’s The Talamasca, the third series in AMC‘s Anne Rice Immortal Universe.

The drama about a secretive society called The Talamasca is slated for a 2025 premiere on AMC and AMC+ with production beginning next month in Manchester, England. The six-episode season will focus on the men and women responsible for tracking and containing the witches, vampires, and other creatures scattered around the globe. 

Denton will play Guy Anatole, a brilliant, handsome and sharp on the surface, but he’s always known his mind works a little differently. On the cusp of graduating law school, he is approached by a representative of the Talamasca, a secretive agency that monitors and protects us from the supernatural world. When Guy learns that the Talamasca has been tracking him since his childhood, he falls headlong into a world of secret agents and immortal beings who, up to now, have maintained a fragile balance with the mortal world. But for that balance to hold, and for Guy to survive, he will have to learn to embrace the dark, treacherous depths of his true and singular self.

Anne Rice’s The Talamasca is executive produced by John Lee Hancock (The Blind Side) and Mark Lafferty (The Right Stuff, Halt and Catch Fire), who also serve co-showrunners, and producer Mark Johnson, who oversees the Anne Rice Immortal Universe. Hancock will also direct. 

Denton previously starred as Valmont in the Starz/Lionsgate prequel to Dangerous Liaisons. He is repped by UTA, United Management in Australia and Conway Van Gelder Grant.
