Yahoo Lifestyle Mayfair Witches and Interview With the Vampire Just Staged a Surprise Crossover, With More to Come
The worlds within Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe are beginning to collide.
Sunday’s Mayfair Witches, the third episode of Season 2, put Lasher in the path of a vampire named Felix who imparted some wisdom about navigating life in the shadows. And if Lasher’s new pal looked familiar to you, that’s probably because actor Gabriel Freilich played the same character in the second season finale of Interview With the Vampire back in June 2024.

“We saw him as a student of Lestat, and now we’re seeing him trying to teach Lasher a little bit,” Mayfair Witches showrunner Esta Spalding tells TVLine, stressing that it’s more of a full-circle moment than viewers may initially realize.
Spalding explains that she and Interview With the Vampire showrunner Rolin Jones had less communication during their shows’ respective first seasons, because they were both “figuring out what the individual worlds were.” Now that the Talamasca is inserting itself more directly into the lives of our favorite vampires and witches, Spalding believes that crossovers will “happen more and more as the shows go on — you know, fingers crossed.”
With a virtually endless catalogue of Rice novels to pull from, there’s no shortage of crossover opportunities for AMC’s Immortal Universe in the coming seasons. But Spalding urges fans to be patient, especially when it comes to major characters meeting for the first time.
“You don’t want to give away the juicy stuff too early,” she says. “It has to be earned. Yes, I keep thinking, ‘When can we talk about Rowan and Lestat?’ But it needs to build.”
New episodes of Mayfair Witches‘ second season air Sundays at 9/8c on AMC; Season 3 of Interview With the Vampire is expected to debut sometime in 2025; and another offshoot, tentatively titled The Talamasca, is currently in production.
