The new installment of Anne Rice’s novel will be released in seven episodes and will premiere at AMC on November 7 at 10 p.m.
The series follows the epic story of Louis de Pointe du Laca (Jacob Anderson), full of love, blood and the dangers of immortality. The vampire tells about his unusual existence to journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian). Struggling with the limitations of a black man’s life in New Orleans in the early 1900s, Louis can’t resist the tempting proposition of Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid): turning into a vampire and becoming his companion. Louis’ addictive powers come at a cruel price, and the arrival of Lestat’s new ward – young Claudia (Bailey Bass) – puts both of them on a long path of revenge and redemption.
