Plot Synopsis

Based on Anne Rice's 1976 book of the same name, ANNE RICE'S INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE is a one-hour drama series that follows Louis de Pointe du Lac, Lestat de Lioncourt and Claudia's epic story of love, blood, and the perils of immortality. Chafing at the limitations of life as a black man in 1900s New Orleans, Louis finds it impossible to resist the rakish Lestat's offer of the ultimate escape: joining him as his vampire companion.
