Interview with the Vampire

Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire, or simply Interview with the Vampire, is an American gothic horror television series created by Rolin Jones for AMC, based on The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice, named after the first book. Starring Jacob Anderson as Louis de Pointe du Lac and Sam Reid as Lestat de Lioncourt, it portrays the vampire Louis's recount of his past and tumultuous relationship with the vampire Lestat, as well as the fallout of its unauthorized publication. The series embraces the queer elements of Rice's work, which are only insinuated in the 1994 film adaptation, and deals with themes such as subjectivity, race, and abuse. It is the first series set in the Immortal Universe, a shared universe based on Rice's novels. A series order was made in June 2021, after AMC Networks purchased the rights to intellectual property encompassing 18 of Rice's novels in 2020. The series premiered on October 2, 2022, with the first two seasons covering the events of the novel. The series returned for a third season on June 7, 2026, titled Anne Rice's The Vampire Lestat, based on the second novel. The series has been renewed for a fourth season titled Anne Rice's Queen of the Damned, based on the third novel. Reception has been positive, with praise for its writing, costumes, soundtrack, production design, lead performances and their chemistry; it has received nominations at the Critics' Choice Television Awards and GLAAD Media Awards among others.
