What is Interview with a Vampire about?

Like the best-selling novel, the Interview with a Vampire show will focus on immortality, blood, and relationships. Although it hasn’t aired publicly yet, Rotten Tomatoes critics have already given the show a 100% approval rating, with an average score of 7.9/10. Similarly, critics on Metacritic have given it an average of 79 out of 100. Clearly, there’s a good reason why AMC decided to renew it already for another season before the first one officially aired!
Additionally, AMC’s original programming president, Dan McDermott, gave a statement about the series. He praised the adaptation and talked about how much effort the cast and crew members put into creating the Interview with a Vampire show:
“They have rendered the rich and vibrant world of Anne Rice’s Interview in a wonderful way, and we’re incredibly proud. From the set build, to production design, costumes and more — no detail was overlooked. This stellar cast deliver powerful performances that emotionally connect us to these characters and their humanity. We look forward to sharing the final product of this extraordinary effort with audiences in just a few short days and are thrilled that this story will continue. This is only the beginning of an entire Universe featuring enthralling stories and characters that capture the spirit of Anne Rice’s amazing work.”

Jones also spoke about the Interview with a Vampire show, revealing that the show will explore different locations worldwide. These include Dubai, Paris, Bulgaria, New Orleans and Romania. According to Jones, the entire crew is “honored, humbled, and hungry to add more stamps to our vamps’ passport books endeavor not to screw it up.” Similarly, Johnson also stated that he wants to “take full advantage of the wonders bestowed upon us by Anne Rice.”
Before she passed away last year, Rice agreed to a deal with AMC to create a TV franchise. This franchise would be based on 18 of her books and would be a shared deal. If that wasn’t enough, AMC is also working on adapting another of Rice’s books, Lives of the Mayfair Witches, into a television series.
You can catch the first two episodes of the Interview with a Vampire show on AMC+ on October 2nd. There’s no word on when a second season might release, although we’re not expecting it at least until 2023/4.
