Talamasca: The Secret Order is the latest Netflix series everyone’s talking about – and for good reason. Set in the Immortal Universe, the shared world in Anne Rice’s novels, it’s not exactly your average spy thriller. Why? Well, the secret spy organisation at the heart of it, Talamasca, has a creepy twist: the agents aren’t fighting fires for global governments, but instead are surveilling eerie supernatural happenings.

The superb new drama will introduce us to Guy Anatole (Nicholas Denton), a law student who’s approached by the organisation – and whose life completely changes as a result. With the series heading to the UK following its premiere in the US, here’s everything you need to know about it, including the cast, plot and how to watch it.
