Anne Rice’s Vampire Spinoff, Evening Island, Finds its Author

Within the Anne Rice universe, Evening Island is a particular place for vampires: a haven of types, the place all their wants are taken care of. AMC had beforehand introduced a spinoff series that includes the supernatural spa city, however has now launched slightly extra data—namely that Jonathan Ceniceroz, one of many writers for Interview With the Vampire, can be writing the collection.

Scheduled to premiere in late 2023, Evening Island can be a six-part collection with “short-form” episodes, which is able to possible be about 10-Quarter-hour. Drawing from descriptions and plot factors famous in Anne Rice’s Interview With the Vampire and The Queen of the Damned, Evening Island will observe a pair of burglars as they try to steal a portray rumored to be on the island, not figuring out that the island is house to a coven of vampires.

All of this—from the placement to the plot—points to Armand. A 500-year-previous vampire, Armand is without doubt one of the most chaotic goblin creatures within the collection, and within the books he ran Evening Island for many years. Armand would regularly kidnap his lover/favourite human, Daniel Molloy, and sequester him on the island for months at a time. Each time Molloy tried to run away, he would (finally) return or be returned to Evening Island.

Armand can also be effectively often called one of many nice artwork lovers of the collection, and when he appeared in Interview With the Vampire his condominium was coated in well-known and well-known work, together with Rembrant’s Storm on the Sea of Galilee, a portray that was (in actual life) notoriously stolen from a museum in 1990 and stays lacking to at the present time.

Evening Island will premiere in late 2023 throughout all AMC streaming platforms.
