Sam Reid takes over the role of Lestat de Lioncourt in AMC’s upcoming “Interview with the Vampire” series, a brand new small screen telling of Anne Rice‘s vampire saga.

Additionally, Jacob Anderson is Louis, Eric Bogosian is Daniel Molloy, and Bailey Bass is Claudia in the upcoming series, and we’ve got some new images for you today.

These come courtesy of People.com, giving us fresh looks at Sam Reid’s Lestat as well as Louis and the other characters we’ll be meeting later this year. Find the images below.

Rolin Jones (“Friday Night Lights”) is creating, showrunning, and writing the series, which is expected to take a bite out of AMC and AMC+ sometime in 2022.

Alan Taylor is directing the first two of seven total first season episodes.

The Anne Rice catalog that AMC Networks has acquired features The Vampire Chronicles series: Interview with the Vampire, The Vampire Lestat, The Queen of the Damned, The Tale of the Body Thief, Memnoch The Devil, The Vampire Armand, Pandora, Vittorio the Vampire, Blood and Gold, Prince Lestat, Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis, and Blood Communion: A Tale of Prince Lestat; The Lives of The Mayfair Witches series: The Witching Hour, Lasher, Taltos; and The Vampire Chronicles/The Lives Of The Mayfair Witches crossover novels: Merrick, Blackwood Farm and Blood Canticle.

A “Lives of the Mayfair Witches” series, on that note, is also in the works. Below, you can revisit the 1994 original starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt with our own Horror Queers podcast.

Discovery previews, “Shark Week hosted by John Cena promises to be an electrifying and unforgettable experience that will leave you in awe of the world beneath the waves.

“One of the highlights of this week-long event will be the premiere of Belly of the Beast Pt. 2, an intense and eye-opening show that delves into the world of great white shark feeding frenzies. You can also look forward to Monster Hammerhead: Species X, a captivating exploration of a potential new species of hammerhead sharks! Plus, Great White Serial Killer: Sea of Blood, a gripping tale of a great white shark wreaking havoc in a local village. And keep an eye out for more incredible shark species to be highlighted this year!”
