Talamasca: The Secret Order
AMC has cancelled its Anne Rice Universe-set supernatural thriller series “Talamasca: The Secret Order” after just one season. The series centered on a secret society that works to maintain balance between the mortal world and the world of vampires, witches, and demons.
The show failed to snag either the major critical acclaim of “Interview With the Vampire” or the strong viewing numbers of “Mayfair Witches,” the former gets a third season in June and the latter has been renewed for a third. [Source: TV Line]
The Dark Wizard
