Season 1 of ‘Talamasca: The Secret Order’ concludes with the central characters arriving at uncertain points in their narratives, leaving more than enough questions unanswered. The season-long search after the Seven Five Two finally comes to an end in the most unexpected of ways. Guy Anatole discovers that the all-knowing book is actually stored in the supernatural memory of Doris, who also happens to be Helen’s long-lost twin sister. This also solves the long-standing mystery of Helen’s past, which involved a mysterious twin experiment as well as the disappearance of her sister.
Lastly, the London Mother House seems to have finally overcome the clutches of Vampire Jasper, as Welles calls in the Amsterdam department, even if at the cost of his own life. Still, the fates of all three central characters, the Talamasca Agent, the Vampire, and the Mind-reader, remain up in the air, which is bound to make fans eager for a season 2. Unfortunately, no definitive word has yet come regarding a renewal for the series. In the event that the renewal does get greenlit, another season might be on the horizon for ‘Talamasca: The Secret Order’ sometime in 2027.
Talamasca: The Secret Order Season 2 Would Explore Hausman’s Scheme
At the end of ‘Talamasca: The Secret Order’ season 1, Jasper finds himself at the Amsterdam headquarters of the Intelligence Agency. However, instead of facing any swift punishment for his crimes, he’s offered an opportunity to earn his freedom. In turn, the higher-up agent Hausman wants the vampire to turn a morgue full of dead humans into vampire fledglings. The agent remains a fairly new addition to the series, and little seems to be known about him. Still, it’s evident that he was in some way involved in the twin experiment, which made Doris into the Seven Five Two. Hausman had employed a similar technique of strongarming a criminal vampire into turning Doris to ensure that the Agency’s living database could entertain an immortal lifetime.
However, this past parallel does little to explain Hausman’s new request from Jasper. The reason Doris’ immortalization was beneficial to the Talamasca was because of her supernatural memory-retaining abilities. Does that mean that new dead victims in the Amsterdam HQ share a similar ability? Perhaps Hausman has gathered other individuals with exceptional memories to create “editions” of the Seven Five Two now that his original creation has managed to liberate herself from the Agency. Alternatively, it’s also possible that the victims are actually other supernaturally gifted twins from the experiment, whose abilities vary from Doris but remain just as coveted. Either way, since Hausman’s introduction and future storyline becomes the center of the cliffhanger in season 1, we can expect a potential season 2 to pick up the same narrative thread.
Talamasca: The Secret Order Season 2 Might Introduce Some New Supernatural Characters
‘Talamasca: The Secret Order’ season 1 puts a lot of effort into crafting the central characters into fleshed-out individuals with interesting backstories and motivations. As a result, fans can rest assured that most of these characters will be returning for season 2. Of the central cast, lead actor Nicholas Denton (Guy), and his co-stars, William Fichtner (Jasper), Elizabeth McGovern (Helen), Celine Buckens (Doris), and Maisie Richardson-Sellers (Olive) are most likely to reprise their roles. Additionally, characters like Checkers (Will Brown), Detective Ridge (Bryony Hannah), Loren (Matthew Steer), and Hausman will also most likely make a comeback.
However, multiple actors whose characters saw a definitive end, like Amelia Clarkson (Keves) and Jonathan Aris (Welles), will likely be absent from future seasons. This opens up the possibility of new characters and cast members to join the series, introducing new narrative and thematic elements to the story. On the other hand, characters with one-off appearances like Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian) and Burton (Jason Schwartzman) might return for season 2. Furthermore, there’s also a strong possibility that fans of Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe might see some familiar faces from the other shows, ‘Interview with the Vampire’ and ‘Mayfair Witches.’
Guy Will Continue His Search After His Mother in Talamasca: The Secret Order Season 2
While the Immortal universe and the supernatural world will continue to expand in a potential season 2 of ‘Talamasca: The Secret Order,’ a continuation of the series will also present an opportunity to pick up the open-ended conclusions of character-driven narratives. For instance, Guy’s story in season 1 ends with his escape alongside Doris. However, the protagonist never gets to finish his quest of finding out more about his previously presumed dead mother, Alice. For the same reason, Doris’ climactic reveal that she might know more about the ex-Talamsca agent sets up the perfect stage for a continuation in the series.
Alice’s complication with the Agency and her current disappearance remain the biggest mysteries plaguing Guy’s storyline. Therefore, it’s a given that this would be a storyline that would be picked up in a possible continuation for the series. Likewise, we can also learn more about Olive’s characterization and the reason behind her ultimate betrayal. Alternatively, while the biggest mystery surrounding Helen’s character gets resolved, it would be interesting to see how she gets herself out of the legal bind and what it might mean for Ridge’s future. Ultimately, there are multiple narrative threads that have been intentionally left unresolved for a future season to explore. Therefore, the show will only benefit from a speedy renewal.
