AMC+ has revealed the first footage from their upcoming 'Interview With the Vampire' adaptation.
AMC+ has just released a new clip of their new upcoming television adaptation of Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire, giving us a glimpse at a new version of vampire antihero Lestat in an appropriately bloody new look. The new clip was released along with a medley of other clips from new, returning, and classic AMC shows, all displayed together as part of AMC+'s 2022 slate of projects.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY AMC's upcoming series stars Sam Reid as Lestat, with Jacob Anderson as Louis and Bailey Bass as Claudia, in a first season consisting of seven episodes. The new look seems appropriately bloody, showing off Reid covered in the blood of an unfortunate victim as he scares Anderson's Louis half to death — and maybe the rest of the way too.
The Rice family's involvement with the project is certainly an encouraging sign for the new series. With a property as beloved as Interview with the Vampire, there is always the risk of alienating those who love the series. The involvement of Anne Rice, prior to her death late last year, seems to indicate that the new project will work to honor her writing and its legacy. The new series will be available on both AMC and AMC+ later this year.
