Vampire fans have had a lot of good content lately — from romance anime and YA shows, to What We Do in the Shadowsrealizing what we all dream of (vampire nightclub). But the vampires with a cult literary pedigree are officially on their way: AMC’s Interview With a Vampire series will premiere on Oct. 2

A new trailer for the series features Louis, Lestat, and the child vampiress Claudia, slinking around hot New Orleans nights wrestling with their “dark gift” and sucking plenty of blood — as well as Louis in the present day spilling his secrets to a mortal reporter.
