AMC and SAG have come to an agreement that will allow production to resume on the Walking Dead spin-offs and Interview with the Vampire

AMC has released a teaser trailer for their upcoming mini-series adaptation of the Anne Rice novel Interview with the Vampire, and you can check it out in the embed above. Don’t expect to see anything that’s very interesting in the teaser, though. Other than a shot of coffins and the confirmation that the show will start airing this fall, there’s not much going on.

Rice’s novel centers on

the vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac as he relates the story of his life to a reporter, in particular how he was turned into a vampire and then mentored by Lestat de Lioncourt.

The AMC version stars Sam Reid (The Newsreader) as the vampire Lestat de Lioncourt; Jacob Anderson (Game of Thrones) as his companion Louis de Pointe du Lac; Bailey Bass (Avatar 2) as Claudia, a young girl who becomes part of Louis and Lestat’s vampire family; Assad Zaman (Small Axe) as Rashid, Louis’ companion in present day; newcomer Kalyne Coleman as Louis’ sister Grace; Christian Robinson (Power Book III: Raising Kanan) as Levi, an upstanding Baptist who has won Grace’s heart; and Eric Bogosian (Talk Radio) as Daniel Molloy, an investigative journalist nearing the end of his career who’s given a second chance at the interview of a lifetime.

Alan Taylor, who recently directed the Sopranos prequel The Many Saints of Newark, is executive producing Interview with the Vampire and directing the first two episodes of the show. Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul producer Mark Johnson is overseeing the building of AMC’s Vampire Chronicles franchise. Rolin Jones, co-creator and showrunner on the first season of the HBO series Perry Mason, is the creator, showrunner, and writer of the Interview with the Vampire series. Jones and Johnson executive produce the show alongside Taylor. Anne Rice’s son Christopher Rice is also on board as executive producer, and Rice herself will be receiving executive producer credit as well.
