Airdate: Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire

AMC+ presented a panel for Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire at San Diego Comic-Con on the weekend, releasing the first trailer for fans.

Aussie Sam Reid (The Newsreader, Lambs of God, The Hunting) stars the pivotal role of Lestat alongside Jacob Anderson, Bailey Bass and Eric Bogosian.

Based on Anne Rice’s revolutionary gothic novel, Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire follows Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson), Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) and Claudia’s (Bailey Bass) epic story of love, blood and the perils of immortality, as told to journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric 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.

First two episodes drop Sunday October 2 on AMC+.
