\n\tToday during AMC\u2019s Vampire Lestat Hall H session at San Diego Comic-Con, it was announced that the Anne Rice<\/a>\u2019s Interview with the Vampire<\/a> anthology is getting a fourth season, Anne Rice\u2019s Queen of the Damned. Hall H erupted after the teaser above was dropped.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe renewal closely follows Sunday\u2019s finale of season three\u2019s The Vampire Lestat, which teased the return of Queen of the Damned protagonist, Akasha. <\/p>\n

\n\tQueen of the Damned is the third novel in Rice\u2019s Vampire Chronicles following Interview With the Vampire and The Vampire Lestat. <\/p>\n

\n\tAnne Rice\u2019s Queen of the Damned will be executive produced and showrun by Hannah Moscovitch, along with executive producers Mark Johnson and Rolin Jones.\u00a0The trio were on today\u2019s Lestat Hall H panel along with series stars Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian and Sheila Atim.<\/p>\n

\n\tMoscovitch was a writer on the first two seasons of Interview with the Vampire and an executive producer on The Vampire Lestat, for which she specifically wrote the \u201cAkasha\u201d and \u201cGabriella\u201d characters. Her previous credits include the critically acclaimed play Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes, for which she received the 2021 Governor General\u2019s Award for English-language drama, and the Crave TV mini-series Little Bird. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIn The Vampire Lestat, Mark, Rolin, Hannah and this extraordinary cast delivered an unforgettable season filled with propulsive storytelling that captivated the passionate and engaged fans of this franchise,\u201d said Dan McDermott, Chief Content Officer of AMC Global Media and President of AMC Studios. \u201cWe can\u2019t wait to continue the journey with Queen of the Damned, one of the most iconic stories in Anne Rice\u2019s mythology, and watch our established and beloved characters confront Akasha with their world, and ours, very much hanging in the balance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing the feature success of the Tom Cruise-Brad Pitt combo The Interview of the Vampire in 1994 which grossed over $223M, Warner Bros tried to make Queen of the Damned in 2002 with Aaliyah as Akasha and Stuart Townsend stepping in as Lestat for Cruise. The picture didn\u2019t work grossing only $45M. Vampire Lestat the TV series is one of the highest rated of the year on Rotten Tomatoes. <\/p>\n

\n\tAt today\u2019s panel, Johnson spoke about the penultimate episode which saw Armand and Daniel Molly behead Louis and Lestat during a violent confrontation at the park. <\/p>\n

\n\tJohnson, \u201csaid, \u201cWho takes a pen over an episode and decapitates the two leads. It\u2019s unheard of. And yet, I would love to say I saw this all coming.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tAnderson quipped about his severed head performance as Louis, \u201cIt\u2019s not the hardest thing I\u2019ve ever done in my life of acting. What happened? How do you speak? How do you breathe?\u2026it wasn\u2019t like some hokum science.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tQueen of the Damned is also EP\u2019ed by the late Rice. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Today during AMC\u2019s Vampire Lestat Hall H session at San Diego Comic-Con, it was announced that the Anne…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":305072,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[110059,99154,9,24,63,122,124,123,115584],"class_list":["post-305071","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-anne-rice","tag-interview-with-the-vampire","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news","tag-the-queen-of-the-damned"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305071","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=305071"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305071\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/305072"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=305071"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=305071"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=305071"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
