Australian actor Sam Reid (“Lambs of God,” “The Hunting,” “The Drovers Wife”) has been tapped to star in the secondary lead role of Lestat in the AMC series based on Anne Rice’s novel “Interview With The Vampire”.
The series begins production on its eight-episode first season later this year to premiere on AMC and its sister streamer AMC+ in 2022. AMC ordered the series in June and has the rights to all eighteen books in the series.
Tom Cruise and Stuart Townsend previously played the Lestat role onscreen before. “Perry Mason” co-creator and showrunner Rolin Jones serves as creator, writer and showrunner of this. Mark Johnson, Anne and Christopher Rice produce.
