What role will Nicolas Denton play in Anne Rice's Immortal Universe series The Talamasca?

Apart from disclosing the new lead for the upcoming drama in the shared Anne Rice's Immortal Universe, AMC has also revealed that Denton will star as Guy Anatole in The Talamasca. The series will focus on a secretive society called The Talamasca. AMC described the series as:

"The six-episode season will focus on the men and women responsible for tracking and containing the witches, vampires, and other creatures scattered around the globe."

Moreover, in the press release, AMC also disclosed details about Denton's character. The character description of Guy Anatole reads:

"He is brilliant, handsome and sharp on the surface, but he’s always known his mind works a little differently. On the cusp of graduating law school, he is approached by a representative of the Talamasca, a secretive agency that monitors and protects us from the supernatural world."

It further continues:

"When Guy learns that the Talamasca has been tracking him since his childhood, he falls headlong into a world of secret agents and immortal beings who, up to now, have maintained a fragile balance with the mortal world. But for that balance to hold, and for Guy to survive, he will have to learn to embrace the dark, treacherous depths of his true and singular self."

The filming for The Talamasca will commence next month in Manchester, England. More details about the show are expected soon, but nothing else has been revealed yet.
