Worlds had been all the time going to collide in AMC‘s Immortal Universe. The cross-pollination of those exhibits will start when an Interview With the Vampire character seems in Mayfair Witches Season 2 Episode 3, set to air this Sunday, January 19, however that gained’t be the final time these exhibits reference one another. There’s already hints at one other IWTV point out afterward in Mayfair‘s second season, and The Talamasca collection premiering later this yr will present extra connective tissue for this TV universe.
The Mayfair Witches and Interview With the Vampire crossover is just not a serious crossover occasion such as you’ve seen in exhibits like Gray’s Anatomy and its sibling collection Station 19, however it’s the first time one in every of IWTV‘s characters is showing in Mayfair Witches.

This might open issues up for a Mayfair Witches character like Tongayi Chirisa‘s Ciprien Grieve, a Talamasca agent, to leap over to a different present. Chirisa implied that the occasions of Mayfair‘s Season 2 finale units up that risk.
“With out saying an excessive amount of, a number of issues go down within the season finale that positively open Sip’s world up in a method that he was not anticipating,” Chirisa instructed Screenrant. “Sure occasions [from Interview With the Vampire] are talked about in Mayfair Witches, one in every of which could possibly be the following mission that Sip must go examine. He might should pop in and settle some points with the vampires — I’m simply saying. I don’t know, nevertheless it looks as if we’re heading that method.”
