AMC is introducing a new companion series to the show The Vampire Lestat, called The Vampire Lestat: After Dark. The series will feature interviews with the cast and crew of the series.

For those who don’t know, The Vampire Lestat tells a story about a vampire named Lestat de Lioncourt who wakes up in the 1980s, becomes a rock star, and breaks vampire law by exposing his species to the world. According to Deadline, this isn’t the first time AMC has had a companion show for a series that allows the cast and crew to talk about the show.
