BIG NEWS! Dorian has partnered with AMC Networks!
Today, we are thrilled to announce that Dorian is partnering with AMC Networks to tap into the power of the Immortal Universe of Anne Rice! The partnership will empower millions of fans and creators to write, publish, stream, and monetize their own code-free interactive narratives using some of the most iconic IPs in the world, including Interview with the Vampire and Mayfair Witches.
AMC announced in May 2020 their acquisition of the Anne Rice catalog, which includes the Vampire Chronicles, the Lives of the Mayfair Witches series, and the crossover novels that blend the two paranormal worlds. The Walking Dead network’s new franchise will kick off Sunday, October 2 with the premiere of Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire, starring Jacob Anderson (Game of Thrones), who will play the tortured Louis de Pointe du Lac, Sam Reid (The Hunting) as his vampire maker, Lestat de Lioncourt, Bailey Bass (Avatar 2) as vampire fledgling Claudia, and Eric Bogosian (Talk Radio) as journalist Daniel Molloy. Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches series is making its exclusive debut on AMC+, the network’s premium streaming bundle, this winter, and stars Alexandra Daddario (The White Lotus) as Rowan Mayfair, a brilliant doctor who discovers she heralds from a long line of witches in the Mayfair family, along with Jack Huston (House of Gucci) as Lasher, Harry Hamlin (Mad Men) as Cortland Mayfair and Tongayi Chirisa (Palm Springs) as Ciprien.
We're also excited to announce that this partnership will allow fans and creators exclusive access to licensed art and lore to create their own interactive stories in AMC’s Immortal Universe of Anne Rice. Dorian’s code-free creation engine, monetization features, and data analysis tools allow independent creators to write, publish, and earn royalties. With genre content like Interview ranking consistently high among the Dorian community, the addition of these IPs will tap into those passions and excite audiences of both game and series. Dorian will launch Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire alongside the premiere of the AMC series on October 2 with weekly content releases, fan-generated adaptation challenges, and livestream events spanning the epic first season.
