AMC has released a new trailer for “Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire,” the new series which will offer a modern retelling of Anne Rice’s best-selling novel. The trailer was unveiled as part of the “Interview with a Vampire” panel featuring the cast and crew working on the show at San Diego Comic-Con.
Starring Jacob Anderson (“Game of Thrones”), Sam Reid (“The Newsreader”), Bailey Bass (“Avatar: The Way of the Water”), and Eric Bogosian (“Succession”), follows Louis de Pointe (Anderson), Lestat De Lioncourt (Reid), and Claudia’s (Bass) epic story of love, blood, and the perils of immortality, as told to journalist Daniel Molloy (Bogosian). Chafing at the limitations of life as a black man in 1900s New Orleans, Louis finds it impossible to resist the rakish Lestat’s offer of the ultimate escape: joining him as his vampire companion. But Louis’s intoxicating new powers come with a violent price, and the introduction of Lestat’s newest fledgling, the child vampire Claudia, soon sets them on a decades-long path of revenge and atonement.
The first of seven episodes in the series will premiere on AMC and AMC+ on October 2, 2022.
