The Immortal Witch

Anne Rice's Immortal Universe, or simply the Immortal Universe, is an American media franchise and shared universe centered on the 2020s AMC television series adaptations of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles and Lives of the Mayfair Witches supernatural horror novel series. The books, which originated with the 1976 novel Interview with the Vampire, follow vampires and witches in the ancient and modern world. The franchise includes three television series: Interview with the Vampire, Mayfair Witches, and Talamasca: The Secret Order, with other projects in development. Talamasca: The Secret Order premiered in October 2025, focused on the Talamasca, a secret society in Rice's novels who investigate the paranormal. Night Island, an upcoming six-part short-form digital series centered on a luxury resort for vampires, was based on elements of Rice's 1988 novel The Queen of the Damned, and follows the attempted theft of a painting from the island by a pair of burglars who are unaware of the supernatural nature of its inhabitants. An adaptation of Memnoch the Devil is also in development. AMC coined the term "Immortal Universe" with the October 2022 release of its Interview with the Vampire series. Notable characters in the Immortal Universe include the vampires Lestat de Lioncourt and Louis de Pointe du Lac, the witch Rowan Mayfair, and paranormal investigator and empath Ciprien Grieve.
