Bryan Fuller then signed on as showrunner in January 2018 but exited soon after. Anne announced in 2016 on Facebook that she had re-acquired the theatrical rights to the books with plans to develop them as a TV series. The Rices have been trying for years now to develop a series based on “The Vampire Chronicles” books. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Variety reported in December that the Rices and their team were seeking between $30-40 million for the rights in perpetuity to both book series along with a $2.5 million payment to former rights holder Warner Bros. “That dream is now a reality, and the result is one of the most significant and thrilling deals of my long career.” “It’s always been my dream to see the worlds of my two biggest series united under a single roof so that filmmakers could explore the expansive and interconnected universe of my vampires and witches,” said Anne Rice.
