AMC Anne Rice franchise expansion

Overview

AMC is expanding its Anne Rice franchise through several series developments. The third season of ‘Interview with the Vampire’, titled ‘The Vampire Lestat’, shifts the narrative focus from Louis de Pointe du Lac to Lestat de Lioncourt, adopting a high-energy, rock-inspired aesthetic.

Further expansion includes the confirmation of a fourth season titled ‘Anne Rice’s Queen of the Damned’, which will see Hannah Moscovitch take over as showrunner. Additionally, ‘Mayfair Witches’ has been renewed for a third season set in Salem, Massachusetts, expected to premiere in 2027. While a possible adaptation of ‘Memnoch the Devil’ has been mentioned, no official orders have been placed.

Amidst this television expansion, the 1994 film ‘Interview with the Vampire’ has seen a resurgence in popularity, reaching the number four spot on HBO Max’s Top 10 Movies chart. This streaming success coincides with the platform’s October programming push focused on horror and atmospheric content.
