The series embraces the queer elements of Rice's work, which are only insinuated in the 1994 film adaptation, and deals with themes such as race and abuse. It is the first series set in the Immortal Universe, a shared universe based on Rice's novels. A series order was made in June 2021, after AMC Networks purchased the rights to intellectual property encompassing 18 of Rice's novels in 2020.
The series premiered on October 2, 2022, with the first two seasons covering the eponymous novel. In June 2024, the series was renewed for a third season, to cover the second book The Vampire Lestat. The first season had mostly positive reviews whilst the second season received critical acclaim. The series was praised for its writing, costumes, soundtrack, production design, lead performances and their chemistry.
