That’s when Lestat makes Louis the irresistible offer of wealth, influence and a place by his side - for all eternity. That’s until the mysterious Lestat (Reid) arrives from Europe and brings disaster in his wake.Ī series of tragedies - and the men’s suspect relationship - results in Louis being cut off from his pre-Lestat life. (Rice’s character, as portrayed by Pitt, is a white Creole plantation owner whose origin story is set in 1791.) Louis’ human existence revolves around his business dealings with the city’s bigoted elite and his close, if contentious, relationship with his siblings (played by Kalyne Coleman and Steven Norfleet). Motivated by curiosity and ambition, the aging journalist signs on to conduct a series of interviews, which constitutes the series’ frame narrative, at the vampire’s cavernous, high-rise residence in Dubai.ĭiverging from the novel, here Louis’ tale begins in 1910, when he runs gambling houses and brothels in New Orleans’ French Quarter and acts as the head of a relatively privileged Black Creole family. Louis (Anderson) once again approaches journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian) about recording his story for posterity, after a failed attempt decades before - which ended rather violently for the film’s Molloy, played by Christian Slater. In the series, from creator Rolin Jones, Louis and Lestat’s centuries-long love affair picks up in 2022, in a world ravaged by the pandemic.
