A dark and seductive supernatural series that sunk its teeth into audiences on release is finally available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.
Interview with the Vampire, based on Anne Rice’s iconic 1976 novel, has been hailed by fans as ‘one of the best things on television.’
The show reimagines the story of Louis de Pointe du Lac – a man-turned-vampire – recounting his centuries-long, tumultuous relationship with his maker, Lestat de Lioncourt.
Told through a modern-day interview, it jumps between 1910s New Orleans and the present day, exploring themes of love, immortality, and moral decay.
Since its release, the drama has drawn widespread praise for its powerful performances and binge-worthy plot lines.

Another viewer, @Fabyorubachic, said: ‘I’m going to be honest – this might be one of the best things I’ve ever seen on television. The story completely seduced me, and I’m glad it did.’
The adaptation’s strength lies in its attention to detail and deep respect for Rice’s world, as well as the haunting visuals and incredible acting.
‘I’m so in love with this show!!!’ added @C.M.Nicole. ‘The actors and writers have a very clear understanding of the books and their characters, and it shows.’
Leading the cast is Jacob Anderson (best known from Game of Thrones) as Louis, whose emotional depth brings a human vulnerability to his immortal curse.
Opposite him, Sam Reid delivers a magnetic performance as Lestat.
Their on-screen chemistry has been described as electric, with fans praising how the series explores the pair’s relationship more openly than ever before.
Even those who don’t usually watch fantasy or horror have found themselves spellbound.
‘I don’t watch a ton of TV,’ admitted @RedTopaz. ‘My short attention span usually taps out before I can make it through a season, but I am hooked on IWtV.’
That reaction captures what has made the show such a hit – it’s not just a show for supernatural lovers, it really has got everyone hooked.
The series’s production design has also won praise, from its lush New Orleans sets to its hauntingly elegant costumes.
‘Brilliant show – truly out of this world and enjoyable to watch,’ said @KestaWalker.
After premiering in the U.S. on AMC, the show’s arrival on Amazon Prime means UK audiences can finally see what the fuss is about.
Its second season, continuing Louis and Lestat’s journey across Europe, has only intensified the obsession.
Critics have called it darker, deeper, and even more visually stunning than before.
For long-time fans of Anne Rice, it’s a faithful yet fresh retelling of her most famous work.
For newcomers, it’s an unforgettable gateway into one of fiction’s most enduring vampire sagas.
Unlike the 1994 film starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, this adaptation doesn’t shy away from the romantic core of the story.
It embraces the emotional complexity of Louis and Lestat’s bond — a decision fans have widely celebrated.
@BrianScott wrote in his Google review: ‘Sam Reid and Jacob Anderson are amazing actors who inhabit their characters with effortless skill and compassion.’
Whether you’re drawn in by its gothic atmosphere or its immortal love story, one thing’s clear – this is one show that is living forever.
Interview with a Vampire is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video & BBC iPlayer now.
