One year after Anne Rice’s “Interview with the Vampire” premiered on AMC, we’ve learned that the horror series is headed to the Max streaming service this spooky season.
But wait, isn’t “Interview with the Vampire” an AMC series? And doesn’t AMC have a streaming service of its own? Deadline explains the unique partnership this afternoon.
Deadline reports, “AMC Networks and Warner Bros. Discovery have struck a deal for a “programming pop-up” that will see more than 200 episodes of seven titles launch on Max, formerly known as HBO Max. The shows will be available from September 1 – October 31.”
Deadline previews the full AMC-to-Max lineup: “Titles available are seasons one through seven of Fear the Walking Dead, three seasons of A Discovery of Witches, four seasons of Killing Eve, season one of Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire, two seasons of Gangs of London, season one of Dark Winds, and five seasons of Ride with Norman Reedus.
“The shows will be available on both the ad-free and ad-lite Max services for no extra cost. They will be part of the AMC+ Picks on Max rail on the service and will not include advertising.”
“Interview with the Vampire” Season 2, meanwhile, is expected in 2024.
