I so badly would like to see the script for interview with the vampire's episode 5... Do you have ang idea if anyone is working on collecting them and/or who I should contact?

If anyone is, they aren't posting about it.

Pilots are easy to find, anything else is hard. For Supernatural we get our scripts from eBay at sometimes outrageous prices (high triple digits) and local (Vancouver area) memorabilia sellers. Others we got PDFs from people who won charity auctions (four digits).

For IWTV, local crew would be New Orleans area sellers who are no longer working for the show...it could be awhile. I haven't heard about any charity auctions of scripts signed by the actors (nothing has crossed my dash or timeline) but that's not even something we go near, we aren't built for that 💸💸💸💸

One very, very long shot would be if IWTV was submitted by AMC to the Emmys for writing because Deadline's It Starts on the Page series has PDFs of For Your Consideration scripts (2021; 2022) and that series has given us scripts from The Boys, Stranger Things, Wandavision, and so many more.

Just to give you a sense of what's out there for other AMC shows (it's not much):

Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul: a Collection on Reddit

Mad Men: Pilot (Writer's First Draft); 7 from Season 1 & 2 from Season 7

The Walking Dead: 3 from season 1

Fear the Walking Dead: Pilot

Halt and Catch Fire: Pilot

Misc: Script Slug has an AMC tag

Resources for finding TV scripts online:

r/screenwriting guide to finding scripts online

Script Hive has a screenplay collection, you need to be a member of their discord to access (this might be where something from IWTV lands, be sure to read all the rules and regs so you don't get booted from the server/do what you need to do to be in "good standing" to be able to peek in on the script collection every month or so)

TV Writing (see also the credits page, most every other site has taken the stuff from here and reuploaded it to their site)

TV Calling: Comedies, Dramas

BBC Writersroom: Script Library

Scribd: mostly trash (badly done transcripts), sometimes treasures like this Yellowjackets 1.04 "Bear Down" script

Films because these two sites are great: Scripts Onscreen will help you find a pdf for free or give you a direct link to Script City (ScriptFly too but they charge way more and are really obvious about just stealing shit from TV Writing to resell, I refuse to buy from them)
