AMC Executive Teases Even More Anne Rice Properties In The Works

Ann Rice’s world of vampires and witches is making its way to AMC and AMC+ in the coming months with both an Interview with The Vampire and The Lives Of The Mayfair Witches series in production. Word has just gotten to us that we may see even more of the authors characters joining the fray.

Our friends at Comicbook.com have some pretty interesting news regarding what other properties we will likely see coming to AMC.

The site reveals: According to president of entertainment and AMC Studios at AMC Networks, there are other, "unofficial" projects in the works — and he envisions adaptations of Rice's work in a model similar to that of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

"We have other projects that are in development," McDermott told Variety. "They're sort of unofficial right. now, but we really plan to have five or six series in that universe over the next five or six years. And there will be an opportunity to pull characters from different shows and do what we refer to as our 'all-star' original series, taking supporting characters and maybe a lead character from one or two shows and doing original series that will be based in the Anne Rice universe."

He continued, "The best model would be an Avengers-style series, where you take characters from different shows and bring them together and you tell an original story using all of them and their backstory and the mythology. The objective is to honor everything about the source material and the characters' backstories and mythologies as well. But I think that's a really exciting proposition."

AMC acquired the rights to 18 of Anne Rice’s books which include the full Vampire Chronicles and The Mayfair Witches trilogy, so we know there is a ton of source material to play with and are looking forward to what’s to come along with that.
