The show will be the network's third to be inspired by Rice's work after Interview with the Vampire and The Mayfair Witches.
"The enthusiastic critical and fan reception to Interview and Mayfair is a great sign of what is yet to come in this immersive universe based on the works of Anne Rice," AMC Networks President of Entertainment and AMC Studios Dan McDermott said in a statement Tuesday.
"We're excited to be in active development of the next installment in this growing franchise, written and to be showrun by the incomparable John Lee Hancock. The Talamasca is one of the most intriguing elements of Rice's works and a connective thread through so many of her stories, the standalone and crossover potential for this third series is immense."
