When Anne Rice wrote Interview with the Vampire in 1976, it became the most popular example of vampire literature since Bram Stoker's Dracula. Her book about vampires living lavishly amid unsuspecting mortals exploded onto the literary landscape and was eventually made into a blockbuster 1994 film starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt.
Now Rice’s Vampire Chronicles have been turned into a TV series, with Rolin Jones serving as showrunner. Rice and her son Christopher optioned the rights to her impressive body of work to AMC a few years ago. Christopher serves as an executive producer on the project; Anne Rice passed away in December 2021. Interview with the Vampire is the first phase of AMC's planned Anne Rice Immortal Universe. It debuted in the US in 2022 and has finally hit UK screens after the BBC snapped up the show. You can read our review here.
