Photos tease the vampires' connection, as well as some of the New Orleans-based social settings they’ll find themselves in.
Another image of the show’s lead sees vampire Louis (who, in the book, tells a reporter his life story as a blood-sucking being) playing in a poker tournament with a cigar in hand.
A new character, seemingly a lounge singer named Antoinette Brown (Maura G Hooper), is introduced in the photo above. She performs as the vampires look on.
Other images preview Louis and Lestat’s relationship as they’re pictured together around New Orleans.
The show’s executive producer, Mark Johnson (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Halt and Catch Fire, Rectify) told PEOPLE about the importance of upholding Rice’s legacy in modern storytelling.
The goal of the AMC adaptation isn’t just to preserveThe Vampire Chroniclesbut to reignite a passion for Rice’s work.
“We are hoping that this series compels the Anne Rice fan to rediscover her works. We are also hoping that those viewers who have never read an Anne Rice novel go running to the bookstore eager to understand what all the fuss is about,” Johnson added.
An official release date for the series has not yet been released butAnne Rice’s Interview with the Vampireis expected to air all seven episodes of its first season on AMC and AMC+ this year.
