In a major acquisition last year, the company acquired the rights to Rice&#8217;s iconic works, encompassing 18 titles including the Vampire Chronicles and Mayfair Witches series, which have delighted fans around the world. &#8220;Interview&#8221; is the first title in the collection to be developed and greenlit to series.

I strongly believe that with AMC and Rolin Jones we are equipped to meet this challenge and to thrill and entertain both the loyal Anne Rice fan and the viewer who is just now discovering her work.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In 1973, a grieving mother and extraordinary writer began what would become the finest Vampire novel ever written (all respects to Mr. Stoker),&#8221; Jones said. &#8220;Nearly fifty years later we know what&#8217;s expected of us. We know how much this book and the ones that follow mean to their massive fan base. We feel you over our shoulders as we tend the Savage Garden. Louis and Lestat are coming out of hiding and we can&#8217;t wait to re-unite them with you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a day we have been looking forward to since we acquired this legendary Anne Rice collection a little more than a year ago,&#8221; said Dan McDermott, president of original programming for AMC Networks and AMC Studios. &#8220;This story already has millions of fans in the U.S. and around the world, we can&#8217;t wait to share this new interpretation of the classic brought to life by Rolin and Mark, as we continue to work on developing the entire collection. With &#8216;<em>The Walking Dead<\/em>,&#8217; this Anne Rice collection, and our majority stake in Agatha Christie Limited through our own Acorn TV, we are proud to have the stewardship of three unique, fan-forward, and beloved franchises and universes, which we are only just beginning to explore. We are also thrilled to have Mark, a world-class producer we have previously worked with on iconic series like <em>Breaking Bad, Rectify, Halt and Catch Fire<\/em>, and <em>Better Call Saul<\/em> on board at the helm of our efforts to develop an entire Anne Rice universe, with significant aspirations for these beloved stories and characters.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Anne Rice catalog AMC acquired last year includes The Vampire Chronicles Series: &#8220;<em>Interview with the Vampire<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>The Vampire Lestat<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>The Queen of the Damned<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>The Tale of the Body Thief<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>Memnoch The Devil<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>The Vampire Armand<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>Pandora<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>Vittorio the Vampire<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>Blood and Gold<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>Prince Lestat<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis<\/em>,&#8221; and &#8220;<em>Blood Communion: A Tale of Prince Lestat;<\/em>&#8221; The Lives Of The Mayfair Witches Series: &#8220;<em>The Witching Hour<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>Lasher<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>Taltos<\/em>;&#8221; and The Vampire Chronicles\/The Lives Of The Mayfair Witches- Crossover Novels: &#8220;<em>Merrick<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>Blackwood Farm<\/em>&#8221; and &#8220;<em>Blood Canticle<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"morty-3683916684\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>AMC Networks holds the comprehensive rights for this world-renowned and globally coveted intellectual property to develop for its own television networks and streaming services under the AMC Studios umbrella, as well as external partner licensing, with Anne Rice and son Christopher Rice serving as executive producers on all series and films.
