Buffy, we live in a post-vampire world. After “Twilight,” “True Blood” and “Only Lovers Left Alive,” it feels sometimes like the sitcom “What We Do In The Shadows” could be the most accurate accounting of what the pansexual undead really have to put up with. But we recall our first love, the 1994 film “Interview With the Vampire,” which was fraught with tension over whether a man wanting to bite another man’s neck would make him look gay. Well, the cast is set for AMC’s series reboot of the iconic Anne Rice novel. Australian actor Sam Reid (“The Newsreader”), Jacob Anderson (“Game of Thrones”), Bailey Bass (the upcoming “Avatar 2”) and American theater institution Eric Bogosian (“Uncut Gems”) will retell the tale as old as time. Creator, executive producer and showrunner Rolin Jones is taking the lead with Mark Johnson, Christopher Rice and the late Anne Rice executive producing, as well. Exciting news for those of us who can’t get enough of bloodthirsty night creatures, the show drops on AMC sometime later this year.
