The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire, or simply Interview with the Vampire, is an American gothic horror television series created by Rolin Jones for AMC, based on The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice, named after the first book. Starring Jacob Anderson as Louis de Pointe du Lac and Sam Reid as Lestat de Lioncourt, it portrays the vampire Louis' recount of his past and tumultuous relationship with the vampire Lestat, as well as the fallout of its unauthorized publication. The series embraces the queer elements of Rice's work, which are only insinuated in the 1994 film adaptation, and deals with themes such as subjectivity, race, and abuse. It is the first series set in the Immortal Universe, a shared universe based on Rice's novels. A series order was made in June 2021, after AMC Networks purchased the rights to intellectual property encompassing 18 of Rice's novels in 2020. The series premiered on October 2, 2022, with the first two seasons covering the events of the novel. The series returned for a third season on June 7, 2026, titled Anne Rice's The Vampire Lestat, based on the second novel. Reception has been positive, with praise for its writing, costumes, soundtrack, production design, lead performances and their chemistry; it has received nominations at the Critics' Choice Television Awards and GLAAD Media Awards among others.
