As the company has the rights to all of Rice’s “The Vampire Chronicles” books and Lestat appears in multiple entries, Reid could find himself portraying the character across multiple series. At this time, however, “Interview With the Vampire” is only “Vampire Chronicles” series that has been greenlit by AMC.
He will be the third actor to portray Lestat onscreen, after Tom Cruise in the 1994 “Interview with the Vampire” film and Stuart Townsend in the 2002 film “Queen of the Damned.” Reid currently stars in the Australian drama series “The Newsreader,” with shows like “The Hunting,” “Lambs of God,” “Prime Suspect 1973,” and “The Astronaut Wives Club” also among his TV credits. On the film side, he is known for roles in features such as “Belle,” “’71,” “Anonymous,” and “The Railway Man.”The cabler has given “Interview With the Vampire” an eight episode order with an eye toward a 2022 debut on both AMC and AMC Plus.
