Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire

November on AMC+

AMC+ highlights for the month of November include Mood, Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire, True Crime Story: Indefensible, Documentary Now! Sherman’s Showcase and Kevin Can F#!k Himself. Mood – AMC+ Exclusive New series premieres Sunday 6 November with first two episodes; new episodes premiere weekly. Sasha Clayton (Nicôle Lecky) dreams of becoming a major recording artist, but right now she’s a bedroom artist: spending her days smoking weed and stalking her ex-boyfriend (Jordan Duvigneau, My Mum Tracy Beaker) on Instagram. When she is kicked out of her family home for drunkenly trying to burn her ex’s house down, Sasha becomes homeless and is forced to fend for herself, sofa-surfing with local drug dealer Saleem (Mohammad Dalmar). Everything seems to change when she meets and moves in with Instagram influencer and party girl Carly (Lara Peake, Brave New World), who introduces her to the exciting world of making money and becoming ‘famous’ on social media. But as the gap between her online presence and her dream of being a singer continues to grow, Sasha finds herself struggling to escape this new influencer world that is more complex and darker than she could have imagined. The series is told in part through the songs that Sasha creates and features an innovative original soundtrack performed by Lecky. Based on her critically acclaimed Royal Court play Superhoe, the series has been called “invigorating” by The Guardian and “gripping” by Digital Spy in the UK. Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire – AMC+ Original Season finale premieres Sunday 6 November and full season available to binge. A sensuous, contemporary reinvention of Anne Rice’s revolutionary gothic novel, Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire follows Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson), Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) and Claudia’s (Bailey Bass) epic story of love, blood, and the perils of immortality, as told to journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian). Chafing at the limitations of life as a black man in 1900s New Orleans, Louis finds it impossible to resist the rakish Lestat De Lioncourt’s offer of the ultimate escape: joining him as his vampire companion.  But Louis’s intoxicating new powers come with a violent price, and the introduction of Lestat’s newest fledgling, the child vampire Claudia, soon sets them on a decades-long path of revenge and atonement. Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire stars Australian actor Sam Reid (The Newsreader, The Drover’s Wife) as Lestat de Lioncourt alongside Jacob Anderson (Game of Thrones) as Louis, Bailey Bass as Claudia and Eric Bogosian (Succession, The Good Wife) as Molloy. True Crime Story: Indefensible – AMC+ Exclusive From Thursday 3 November with new episodes weekly. In True Crime Story: Indefensible, comedian Jena Friedman (Academy Award nominated writer and WGA winner of Borat 2) travels the country to unspool real cases on the ground. With less of a whodunnit and more of a “How the hell does this keep happening?” approach, Jena uses her fearless, probing interview style to dig deep into each case, sitting down with major players on both sides of the issues, all with the goal of revealing the hidden injustices and flaws which exist in our sometimes-dysfunctional criminal justice system. Documentary Now! S53 (AKA S4) –AMC+ Exclusive Episode five premieres Wednesday 2 November and episode six on 9 November, with full season available to binge. The original comedy series, Documentary Now! returns for its highly anticipated fifty-third season, with six all-new documentary-inspired episodes. Co-created by Fred Armisen, Bill Hader, Seth Meyers and Rhys Thomas, the six-time Emmy®-nominated Documentary Now! debuted to rave reviews from critics and quickly became a fan favourite thanks to its insightful take on some of the most well-known documentary films. Each episode, hosted by Dame Helen Mirren, takes viewers back in time to honour ground-breaking documentaries. Episode five, “My Monkey Grifter” is helmed by actor Jamie Demetriou (The Afterparty). Drawing inspiration from My Octopus Teacher, the episode follows Benjamin Clay (Demetriou), a filmmaker who forms a deep, emotional and financially taxing relationship with a monkey. The season finale, “Trouver Frisson”, stars French actor Liliane Rovère (Call My Agent!, Family  Business) and Ronald  Guttman (Godfather of Harlem, Sister of the Groom). Inspired by Agnes Varda’s Gleaners and I and Beaches of Agnes, celebrated French filmmaker Ida Leos (Rovère) searches for why she no longer experiences “frisson” –the goosebumps that have always been her guide. Sherman’s Showcase – AMC+ Exclusive Continues with episode four premiering on Wednesday 2 November; episodes continue weekly. The witty, irreverent and wholly original Sherman’s Showcase features sketches, dancers, fake commercials, movie trailers, cultural nostalgia, A-list guest stars and original songs (“Drop it Low for Jesus,” “Marina Del Ray”) that definitely climbed the fictional charts. Each episode of the series is hosted by Sherman McDaniels as he takes viewers through time, via music and comedy drawn from the 40-year library of a legendary (but fictional) musical variety show. Kevin Can F**K Himself (Season 1) Premieres Tuesday 1 November with full season available to binge. Kevin Can F**K Himself follows the story of Allison McRoberts (Annie Murphy, Schitt’s Creek), a woman we all grew up believing we knew: the prototypical Sitcom Wife. She’s beautiful and can take a joke (though she’s usually the butt of them). And she’s married to a guy who must’ve won some sort of marriage lottery, because she looks the way she does and he’s… funny. But what happens when we follow Allison out of her husband’s domain? When she finally wakes up to—and revolts against—the injustices in her life? Kevin Can F**K Himself breaks television convention and blends multi-camera comedy with single-camera realism to make us ask: “who and what have we been laughing at all of these years?” About AMC+ AMC+ is a new premium streaming bundle featuring an extensive line-up of popular and critically-acclaimed original programming from AMC Networks and other leading producers and distributors.
