'Interview With the Vampire' trailer promises riveting Anne Rice screen adaptation

The full trailer for 'Interview With the Vampire' was released recently at the show's Comic-Con panel. The series is set to debut on October 2 at 10 p.m. (Pacific Standard Time) as confirmed by television network AMC. The first two episodes available on AMC+ that same night, reports Variety.

The series is an adaptation of Anne Rice's iconic gothic horror novel, originally released in 1976. According to Variety, the novel sees a 200 year-old vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac recount his bloody life story to a reporter, particularly focusing on his romance with the vampire that turned him, Lestat de Lioncourt, and the twisted family unit they form with their 10 year-old vampire 'daughter' Claudia.

The book became the first in a series of novels known as 'The Vampire Chronicles' centring primarily on Lestat, and would be adapted into a critically acclaimed and financially successful film starring Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise and Kirsten Dunst.

The AMC version of 'Interview With the Vampire' is a modern day retelling of the story, complete with Eric Bogosian interviewing Louis, played in the series by 'Game of Thrones' star Jacob Anderson, for a podcast.
