In 2020, AMC purchased the rights to adapt two of Rice’s series of novels, The Vampire Chronicles and Lives of the Mayfair Witches, Variety reported. Rice, who died last year, and her son Christopher are listed as executive producers on the projects released under the network’s banner.

‘It’s always been my dream to see the worlds of my two biggest series united under a single roof so that filmmakers could explore the expansive and interconnected universe of my vampires and witches,’ Rice said when the deal was initially announced in May of 2020.

She added: ‘That dream is now a reality and the result is one of the most significant and thrilling deals of my long career.’
