Interview with the Vampire Mini-Teaser Spotlights Sam Reid's Lestat

With October here before you know it, AMC & showrunner Rolin Jones (Perry Mason, Weeds) continue rolling out mini-teasers previewing the main players in the upcoming series Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire. Previously, we had a chance to get to know Bailey Bass' ("Avatar" sequels) Claudia & Eric Bogosian's (Talk Radio) interviewer Daniel Molloy. This time around, the spotlight (but definitely not sunlight!) shines on Sam Reid's (Lambs of God, The Hunting) Lestat De Lioncourt.

The series also stars newcomer Kalyne Coleman as Grace, Christian Robinson (BMF, Power Book III: Raising Kanan) as Levi, Assad Zaman (Hotel Portofino, Small Axe) as Rashid, and Maura Grace Athari (Quarantine Therapy). Now here's a look at a character profile mini-teaser spotlighting Reid's Lestat, followed by a look back at the profiles for Bogosian's Molloy and Bass' Claudia. Following that, we have the teaser "Quiet Dark" and the official trailer for AMC's Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire, premiering on October 2nd:

In this previously-released teaser, viewers were first given a chance to hear some of that infamous interview from which the title is based. Now here's a look (or more like a listen) to just a small bite of what the series has to offer, followed by the previously-released Lestat-focused official teaser:

With showrunner Jones writing and executive producing, the seven-episode first season of Interview with the Vampire is set to premiere sometime this fall and is currently in production (along with Mayfair Witches) in New Orleans. Mark Johnson (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) executive produces, along with Christopher Rice (with the late author also maintaining an executive producer title). AMC's deal includes 18 titles across the "The Vampire Chronicles" and "The Lives of the Mayfair Witches" book series- including Interview with the Vampire, Queen of the Damned, The Vampire Lestat, and The Witching Hour. Johnson will lead AMC's efforts to develop the full Rice collection for television & streaming. Emmy Award-winning director Alan Taylor (Mad Men, Game of Thrones) will direct the first two episodes and serve as executive producer.
