AMC’s “Interview with the Vampire,” adapted from Rice’s iconic novel of the same name, centers on the vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac (played by Jacob Anderson) as he relates the story of his life to a reporter, in particular how he was turned into a vampire and then mentored by Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid). The show is currently in production in New Orleans.
Variety exclusively reported last year that AMC had acquired the rights to Rice’s book series “The Vampire Chronicles” and “The Lives of the Mayfair Witches,” comprising 18 titles in total. AMC first ordered “Interview With the Vampire” and recently greenlit a series based on Rice’s “Lives of the Mayfair Witches.”
While no premiere dates have been set for those series yet, Part 2 of “The Walking Dead’s” final season launched Sunday on AMC Plus and will debut on linear channel AMC next Sunday. “Killing Eve” Season 4 premieres Sunday, Feb. 27 on BBC America and AMC Plus, with new episodes airing Mondays on AMC. As revealed earlier this week, “Better Call Saul” will debut Part 1 of its sixth and final season April 18 at 9 p.m. ET on AMC, with the second batch of episodes set for a rollout beginning July 11.
