Overview
- AMC launched the series with a two-episode premiere on Oct. 26 at 9 p.m. on AMC and AMC+, with weekly Sunday installments through the Nov. 23 finale.
- The series recasts the Talamasca as an active espionage organization, a creative pivot showrunner John Lee Hancock says merges spy-thriller conventions with Rice’s lore.
- Season 1 follows clairvoyant recruit Guy Anatole and his handler Helen as the search for a long-lost archive backup known as the “752” shapes the overarching mystery.
- Cameos link the Immortal Universe, including Eric Bogosian’s Daniel Molloy, Justin Kirk’s Raglan James returning in Episode 4, and a tease of Lestat’s music.
- Early reviews are divided, with praise for brisk, entertaining genre play and criticism that the six-episode run feels disjointed compared with Interview With the Vampire.
