The deal includes the rights to the novels “Interview with the Vampire,” “Queen of the Damned,” “The Vampire Lestat,” and “The Witching Hour.”
If all goes as planned, AMC Networks will greenlight the scripting and airing of several series based on each of the novels, which have sold more than 150 million copies worldwide.
Check out this retweet on Christopher Rice’s Twitter page.
Historically, fans of the Anne Rice novels know that she has been trying to develop an interest in the production of a TV series based on the lives of Lestat and his companions since 2016. However, nothing came of it. Then in 2017 on the Anne Rice website, it was announced that Paramount Television and some anonymous source were also interested in the rights to "The Vampire Chronicles". Fans were once again disappointed.
Now with this latest announcement of “The Vampire Chronicles” and “The Lives of the Mayfair Witches going into future production with AMC television, let’s hope the fans of the novels' hopes are not dashed upon rocks again.
