Bryan Fuller, Anne Rice Developing Vampire Chronicles TV Series

Bryan Fuller and Anne Rice are teaming up for a TV series based on Rice’s Vampire Chronicles. Rice’s son Christopher announced on Facebook that he, Rice and Fuller are teaming up for a series based around Rice’s Lestat character.

The character was previously seen on film, played by Tom Cruise in Interview With a Vampire and Stuart Townsend in Queen of the Damned. Fuller is fresh of his departure as the co-showrunner of American Gods. He is also known for Dead Like Me, Wonderfalls and Hannibal.

“For a year now, my mother and I have had the joy of working with creative partners at Paramount Television and Anonymous Content who share our vision for a prestigious, long-form, high quality and high production value television series focusing on the journey of the immortal Lestat as he travels the lengths of the vampire world detailed in The Vampire Chronicles,” Rice wrote. “Almost instantly after we sold the rights last April, we knew we were working with some of the finest producers television had to offer. And those producers knew that Bryan would be a perfect addition to our creative team.”
