Interview with a Vampire amps up the tension and goes biracial

???? ON THE TUBE TONIGHT-
(all times CLT)

Interview with the Vampire gets a reVAMP: Anne Rice’s groundbreaking 1976 novel got the big screen treatment in the 1994 Academy Award-nominated film starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, but now it’s on the small screen — in a much racier AMC series. The show sets the scene with journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian) traveling to Dubai in 50 years after he first interviewed vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac (played by Jacob Anderson, who you may recognize as Gray Worm from Game of Thrones) to re-do the interview of his career. The show then jumps back to the early 1900s when Louis’ story begins in New Orleans, where he runs a brothel for a living after struggling to land a respectable job because he’s mixed race. Louis is then introduced to vampire Lestat de Lioncourt who begins “hunting” him. You can catch the trailer here (watch, runtime: 2:24).
