Age of The Nerd
Fans of the Immortal Universe have another reason to celebrate! During its Comic-Con International Hall H panel, AMC Global Media officially announced that Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire has been renewed for Season 4, and it’s bringing one of the most beloved stories from Anne Rice’s legendary Vampire Chronicles to life.
The next chapter will be titled Anne Rice’s Queen of the Damned, adapting the iconic novel that introduces the terrifying and powerful vampire queen, Akasha.
The Immortal Universe Continues
The exciting announcement comes just days after the explosive finale of The Vampire Lestat, the series’ third season, which has quickly become one of the highest-rated television shows of the year on Rotten Tomatoes. The hit series is currently streaming exclusively on AMC+, and fans won’t have to wait long to see what’s next in the ever-expanding Anne Rice universe.
Season 4 will be executive produced and showrun by Hannah Moscovitch, marking a new era for the acclaimed gothic horror series. She’ll continue working alongside executive producers Mark Johnson and Rolin Jones.
Akasha Is Finally Coming
If you’ve read Anne Rice’s novels, you already know what’s on the horizon.
Queen of the Damned is one of the most celebrated entries in The Vampire Chronicles, raising the stakes as Akasha, the ancient Queen of the Vampires, awakens and threatens both the vampire world and humanity itself. Expect epic confrontations, impossible choices, and the emotional drama that has made this series a favorite among fans.
AMC’s Chief Content Officer and President of AMC Studios, Dan McDermott, praised the creative team for delivering an unforgettable third season and teased that the next installment will see beloved characters facing their greatest challenge yet.
An Incredible Cast Returns

Behind the scenes, the creative team continues to include award-winning producer Mark Johnson, creator and executive producer Rolin Jones, Hannah Moscovitch, Christopher Rice, and honors the enduring legacy of the late Anne Rice.
Why Hannah Moscovitch Is the Perfect Choice
Longtime fans should feel confident with Moscovitch taking over as showrunner.
She previously served as a writer during the first two seasons of Interview with the Vampire before becoming an executive producer on The Vampire Lestat. She also penned the episodes centered around Akasha and Gabriella, making her uniquely positioned to guide this next chapter.
Outside the Immortal Universe, Moscovitch is an award-winning playwright whose acclaimed works include Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes, winner of the 2021 Governor General’s Award for English-language drama, as well as the critically praised miniseries Little Bird.
Our Take
The Immortal Universe just keeps getting stronger.
After the emotional highs and rock-star spectacle of The Vampire Lestat, adapting Queen of the Damned feels like the natural next step—and perhaps the most ambitious yet. With Akasha finally entering center stage and Hannah Moscovitch leading the series creatively, Season 4 has all the ingredients to become the biggest chapter of AMC’s Anne Rice franchise so far.
For longtime readers and newcomers alike, it’s time to prepare for the rise of the Queen.
