Teaser Trailer For AMC's Series Adaptation of Anne Rice's INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE

AMC has released the first teaser trailer for its series adaptation of Anne Rice’s Interview With The Vampire. It features 30-seconds of footage from the series teasing the tone and it also announces that the show is going to be released in Fall 2022.

Sam Reid stars as Lestat de Lioncourt in the series and he’s joined by Game of Thrones actor Jacob Anderson in the role of Louis de Pointe du Lac. The series is set at the turn of the 20th century in New Orleans and it follows the vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac 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.

I like the setting of the story and I really hope this show ends up being good. AMC has a lot riding on this series as they are looking to build a multiple-show universe around Rice’s novels and Interview With the Vampire will launch it.

Executive producer Mark Johnson previously talked about the series with People, saying:

"Developing this series carries great pressure and responsibility. What Anne Rice created and what her fans have been transfixed by forces us to take this book-to-television show transition with a great deal of responsibility. It is imperative that we do not disappoint her fans and yet we need to make sure that this story, these characters sing for a modern audience."

"We are hoping that this series compels the Anne Rice fan to rediscover her works. We are also hoping that those viewers who have never read an Anne Rice novel go running to the bookstore eager to understand what all the fuss is about."

Rolin Jones (Perry Mason) will serve as showrunner on the series. The late Anne Rice and her son Christopher Rice are also executive producers. The first season of the series will consist of seven episodes.
