How to watch Interview with the Vampire online: Anne Rice's tale darkens our screens once more

Based on Anne Rice’s best-selling novel, Rollin Jones has adapted Interview with the Vampire for TV show and a 21st century sensibility. Sam Reid and Jacob Anderson star as vampire companions Lestat and Louis in this gloriously gory, queer story about vengeance, redemption, and life everlasting. Below we explain how to watch Interview with the Vampire online now from anywhere in the world.

Just as with the original book and 1994 movie with Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, the Interview with a Vampire TV show is framed as conversations between journalist Daniel Malloy (Eric Bogosian) and Louis (Anderson). The latter recounts his 200-year existence as a Creole businessman in 20th century New Orleans, and his transformation into a bloodsucking creature of the night by the debonair Lestat de Lioncourt (Reid).

While Louis initially struggles to overcome his aversion to murder, feeding off stray animals instead, Lestat feasts on anyone from petty thieves to mediocre opera singers.

But when the racist Alderman Fenwick (John DiMaggio) deliberately has Louis’ club The Azalea shut down, Louis’ vampiric nature is awakened: leaving the alderman’s mutilated body in the street with the warning, “Whites Only”.

After fiery retribution is levelled at the black neighborhood of Storyville, a guilty Louis finds redemption in saving a young girl, Claudia, from a burning building. As fans of the novel will know, she'll become Lestat and Louis’ undead daughter and companion. But she’s also due to instigate utter bloody chaos between them.

So, sink your teeth into this brilliant supernatural chiller as we explain how to watch Interview with the Vampire online now now matter where you are.
