As we wait to hear if we\u2019ll see a season two of the show (fingers crossed), it was <em>Nerdist<\/em>\u2018s pleasure to sit down with showrunner John Lee Hancock and executive producer Mark Lafferty to look back on the first season of <em>Talamasca <\/em>as a whole. Among other things, Mark Lafferty and John Lee Hancock dove into <em>Talmasca<\/em>\u2018s mysterious villain, Houseman; the series\u2019 connection to Anne Rice lore; the power of twins in the Immortal Universe; and their mysterious <em>Talamasca<\/em> artifact, the 752. Of course, we had to ask them about the possibility of Gasper, a romance between Guy and Jasper.

He\u2019s a man who deals in quid pro quos and quickly determines how he can get an edge over somebody.

And Eric Bogosian had a lot of ideas about, like \u201cI\u2019m still kind of hanging on an edge here.\u201d So when he sees Guy in the alley, it\u2019s kind of very much not only friend or foe, but is he dinner? So playing with all that and leaving it on an edge was kind of enticing. And so yeah, we wanted to let him flow right into the line that had been drawn by <em>Interview with the Vampire<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>The line from Daniel\u2019s <em>Talamasca <\/em>scene that really caught me was when Daniel said, \u201cI have a thing with people messing around in my head without asking first.\u201d What do you think he was really talking about there?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>John Lee Hancock:<\/strong> I think anyone who watches <em>Interview with the Vampire<\/em> knows that people fish around in other people\u2019s heads a lot in that show; and I think he had obviously experienced some of that and is quick to understand when it happens, especially now that he\u2019s a vampire.
