AMC Studios has greenlit a fourth season of Interview with the Vampire, with the next installment carrying the title Queen of the Damned. The announcement was reported via Variety and was made public at San Diego Comic-Con.
What to expect
The upcoming season will adapt Anne Rice’s third novel in her vampire saga, Queen of the Damned. Unlike the 2002 feature that combined elements of Rice’s second and third novels into a single film, the series will have a full season to explore the third book’s storyline in greater depth.
Creative team
- Hannah Moscovitch will serve as showrunner and executive producer.
- Rolin Jones and Mark Johnson will also executive produce alongside Moscovitch.
AMC’s leadership praised the creative team and cast for their work on the season titled The Vampire Lestat, and signaled enthusiasm for moving into Queen of the Damned as the franchise continues. The network framed the new season as an opportunity to bring one of Rice’s most iconic stories to the screen with more space to develop its characters and stakes.
Context
Interview with the Vampire first returned to screens as a series in 2022, marking the second screen adaptation of Anne Rice’s 1976 novel. The show’s third season was presented under the subtitle The Vampire Lestat to reflect its focus on Rice’s second book in the sequence.
Fans of Rice’s novels and viewers of the series can anticipate a season centered on the events and figures of Queen of the Damned, now given its own television season to unfold.
