Interview with the Vampire

If you’re familiar with Interview with the Vampire — because you read the Anne Rice novel or you saw the 1994 movie — the new AMC series has some surprises in store. The story still revolves around a young man named Louis, his handsome vampire lover Lestat and Claudia, the creepy vampire child they adopt. But it’s funnier, sexier and queerer than you remember. Most importantly, this Louis isn’t a white plantation owner — he’s an ambitious and closeted Black man.
