Sci Fi TV News of Note:
In a recent interview with Collider, Mayfair Witches star Tongayi Chirisa–who plays Talamasca agent Ciprien Grieve–has suggested that a crossover is in the works with that show and Interview with the Vampire. Following are his comments:
Without saying too much, a lot of things go down in the season finale that definitely open Cip’s world up in a way that he was not expecting. Certain events [from Interview with the Vampire] are mentioned in Mayfair Witches, one of which could be the next mission that Cip needs to go investigate. He may have to pop in and settle some issues with the vampires — I’m just saying. I don’t know, but it seems like we’re heading that way.
Mayfair Witches returns for its second season January 5th, and another entry in the Immortal Universe Talamasca will arrive on AMC later this year.
According to Production Weekly development/production has started on 3 Body Problem Season 2 (Netflix), Dark Matter Season 2 (Apple TV+), Dune: Prophecy Season 2 (HBO), and From Season 4 (MGM+).
