While you might expect “The Walking Dead” or “Interview With the Vampire” to be the most-watched show on AMC+, the streamer announced last year that “Mayfair Witches,” starring Alexandra Daddario, is the most-viewed season of any series ever on AMC+. And with that, they quickly announced season two, which is right around the corner.

Last month at New York Comic Con, AMC Networks announced that the anticipated second season of “Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches” will premiere on January 5, 2025, on AMC and AMC+.

It’s a new story, but it’s the same DNA. That’s the clever tag line for the new series “Orphan Black: Echoes,” a spin-off and continuation of the hit series, “Orphan Black” that starred and launched the career of Tatiana Maslany, now known as Marvel’s “She-Hulk.” Set some thirty years later, the series now stars Krysten Ritter, known for “Breaking Bad,” and the Marvel/Netflix series, “Jessica Jones.” Ritter also serves as executive producer and  sci-fi thriller will premiere on Sunday, June 23 at 10pm ET/PT on AMC and BBC AMERICA; available to stream on AMC+.

It’s been a minute since we’ve heard from “Orphan Black: Echoes,” the series spin-off of AMC’s hit series, “Orphan Black,” which ran for five seasons between 2013 and 2017 and turned Tatiana Maslany into a star.

The fourth and final season of “Snowpiercer” has finally found a savior. Deadline reports that the series has a new home after Warner Bros. Company decided not to air the show’s completed Season 4 on TNT in one of its recent cost-cutting moves.  AMC now has the rights to all four seasons of the post-apocalyptic drama and will premiere the show’s last batch of new episodes in early 2025.

At this point, there’s a whole subgenre called “a particular set of skills” stories. Popularized by Liam Neeson and his “Taken” film series, this genre finds an older man called upon to return to his old way of life, which typically means kicking ass and murdering people. Of course, it’s only for one last time. On TV, we have something similar arriving soon, titled “Parish.”

What’s not to love about this upcoming TV series? After the success of “The Queen’s Gambit” on Netflix in 2022, creators Scott Frank and Allan Scott went into high demand. And for Frank’s next project, he teams up with “OZ” and “Homicide” writer and “City On A Hill” showrunner Tom Fontana for a take on Dashiell Hammett‘s legendary detective Sam Spade.

If there is one thing we’ve come to know about Bob Odenkirk, it is that there is no one out there who can play a sad man quite like he can. In AMC’s “Better Call Saul,” he brought us into the troubled psyche of Jimmy McGill and showed in painful detail how, despite the goodness deep inside him, he became the charismatic yet slimy lawyer Saul Goodman. It remains a titanic performance over six spectacular seasons of television.

After getting his start in the world of sketch and improv comedy, Bob Odenkirk has turned into one of the most recognizable names in the world of prestige TV. That’s thanks, in no small part, to his role as Saul Goodman in “Breaking Bad” and the prequel series, “Better Call Saul.” Now, with the world of “Breaking Bad” in the rearview mirror, Odenkirk has his sights set on higher education for his new series, AMC’s “Lucky Hank.

One of the most pleasant surprises of 2022 is probably just how good AMC’s “Interview with the Vampire” actually is. Season 1 took many off-guard with its really strong retelling of the classic Anne Rice tale. So, even though the idea of an Anne Rice cinematic universe seemed unnecessary a year ago, there are now a lot of folks excited to see how it gets built out over the next few years.

It’s a shame George Clooney has yet to direct another film as great as 2005’s “Good Night, And Good Luck.” That film, about the 1953 conflict between journalist Edward R. Murrow and US Senator Joseph McCarthy during the Red Scare, was a coup for Clooney on every level. It received six Academy Awards noms that year, including Best Picture, and made nearly $55 million on a $7 million budget.

AMC has gone all in on Anne Rice. Since its 2020 acquisition of the author’s iconic catalog – including both “The Lives of the Mayfair Witches” series and the more famous “The Vampire Chronicles” series – the network has already renewed “Interview with the Vampire” for a second season on the heels of its acclaimed October 2 debut.

Next up to bat is “Mayfair Witches,” the first season of which will presumably be adapted from Anne Rice’s “The Witching Hour.” Here’s the show’s official synopsis:

“‘Mayfair Witches’ focuses on an intuitive young neurosurgeon, Rowan, who discovers that she is the unlikely heir to a family of witches.

Nothing ever dies. It’s true in television as much as it is in vampire fiction, as the last few decades of weaponized nostalgia have seen dozens of properties remade for the small screen. Most of them are mere echoes of the original hits, but sometimes a creator finds a new pulse in a dead franchise, and that’s the case with AMC’s “Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire,” a surprisingly entertaining, nuanced, and well-made drama that echoes “Hannibal” in numerous ways, both in style and in how it refashions familiar characters for a new generation.

After a banger of a set-up that played out over the first 3-4 episodes of AMC’s clever “Kevin Can F**k Himself,” one could almost see the air coming out of the high-concept balloon. The second half of the first season doesn’t feel nearly as confident, as if one could sense the uncertainty in the writer’s room as to what exactly to do with their concept. It’s a show that set up so many interesting ideas only to get cold feet when it came to exploring them.

After two series spanning 125 episodes and one Netflix movie, Deadline reports that Vince Gilligan‘s time in the “Breaking Bad” universe is over.

It’s hard to argue that the late author Anne Rice has had a large impact on the modern image of vampires; instead of dark and creepy castle-dwelling old men, the writer instead helped give popular culture the young sexy vampire with her Lestat de Lioncourt novels for better or worse. A character was played by Tom Cruise in the 1994 feature film “An Interview With The Vampire,” which also featured actors such as Brad Pitt, Christian Slater, Antonio Banderas, and a young Kirsten Dunst. 

AMC, who is famously behind “The Walking Dead” franchise, is developing a bunch of new Rice adaptations and is now promoting their “Interview With The Vampire” series based on her 1976 novel at San Diego Comic-Con and just revealed a new trailer.

AMC made a deal to secure the rights to 18 of the Anne Rice novels in “The Vampire Chronicles” and “Lives of Mayfair Witches” series. This means there is plenty of source material for multiple horror shows if the network wants to keep them going for years to come. Many of these shows could feature Sam Reid‘s latest incarnation of the beloved vampire character, Lestat, that was previously played by Tom Cruise in the 1994 movie adaptation of “Interview With The Vampire” and Stuart Townsend in the long-forgotten “Queen of The Damned” that featured the late singer Aaliyah as an ancient vampire that is resurrected.

After a delay due to the pandemic, Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) is finally back on AMC on April 18 with seven episodes from its sixth and final season before a brief break and the final six episodes in this incredible series returning on July 11.

From BAFTA-Winner Peter Moffat, J. David Shanks, and Michael B. Jordan’s Outlier Society productions AMC Networks’ “61st Street” looks like a series worth paying attention to.

Simpson: American Crime Story,” and “Lovecraft Country,” Aunjanue Ellis (“When They See Us,” “King Richard”), Mark O’Brien (“City on a Hill,” “Blue Bayou”) and Holt McCallany (“Mindhunter,” “Lights Out”), Tosin Cole (“Doctor Who”), Andrene Ward-Hammond (“Your Honor”), and Bentley Green (“Snowfall”).

What’s happening with everyone’s favorite cat and mouse spy thriller, “Killing Eve”? Well, it’s basically going out on top and ending early. Season four is its final one, and the game between Eve and Villanelle is coming to an end. To back up a bit, in case you’ve missed it, “Killing Eve” is the hit BBC American/AMC British spy thriller starring Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer, who has since become a big start because of the show (and you can argue part of the reason the series is coming to an end is Comer is getting movie offer after movie offer and probably doesn’t want to turn any of that stuff down).

In the world of television, certain genres are tried and true. Police and hospital procedurals, workplace dramas, and family comedies, for example, have all been iterated countless times since the medium’s inception. Since the early-aughts success of HBO’s “The Sopranos,” the family crime drama has become yet another of these staples, with shows like “Boardwalk Empire,” “Peaky Blinders,” “Narcos,” and “Animal Kingdom” trodding similar territory.
