Big news for fans of the AMC Interview with the Vampire TV series, as it’s just been renewed for season four and, as expected, it’s adapting the next book in Anne Rice’s series, The Queen of the Damned.
Announced at SDCC 2026, it was revealed that the series will undergo another name change, this time to Queen of the Damned, just like season 3 changed to The Vampire Lestat, based on Rice’s second Vampire Chronicles novel.

The season will focus on Akasha, the titular queen, who is the first vampire and she will be played by Sheila Atim, who was introduced as the character in The Vampire Lestat.
This season will be the first that will be showrun by exec producer of the first three seasons, Hannah Moscovitch. She takes over from Rolin Jones. What this change will mean for the series’ overall feel and performance remains to be seen.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
