Interview with the Vampire (AMC)

Developed by Rolin Jones, AMC's Interview with the Vampire premiered in 2022 as an adaptation of Anne Rice's 1976 novel. An extended interview provides the frame for Louis de Pointe du Lac's account of his life as a vampire and his relationship with Lestat de Lioncourt. The series revises elements of the source material, moving the beginning of Louis's story to early twentieth-century New Orleans and changing the social context around him. Immortality becomes a way to examine desire and dependence across long stretches of time.

Louis's account also raises questions about memory and the difference between lived experience and a story told afterward. Part of AMC's broader adaptation of Rice's Vampire Chronicles, the show suits viewers interested in character-centered supernatural drama. Its distinctive approach places the relationship between Louis and Lestat, and the reliability of its retelling, at the center of the vampire mythology.
