Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire, or simply Interview with the Vampire, is an American gothic horror television series created by Rolin Jones for AMC, based on the 1976 novel of the same name and elements from The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice. The series begins with the vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) recounting his past life and tumultuous relationship with his maker and lover, Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid). The series embraces the queer elements of Rice’s work, which are only insinuated in the 1994 film adaptation of the novel, and deals with themes such as race and abuse. It is the first series set in the Immortal Universe, a shared universe based on Rice’s novels.

The original movie classic trailer with Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise

Interview with the Vampire received a series order in June 2021, after AMC Networks purchased the rights to intellectual property encompassing eighteen of Rice’s novels in 2020. The series was renewed for an eight-episode second season in September 2022, ahead of the premiere of its first season on October 2, 2022.

The first season received critical acclaim, with praise going towards the writing, tone, costumes, soundtrack, production values, performances (particularly those of Anderson and Reid), and chemistry between the two actors.

Premise[edit]

Interview with the Vampire centers on the life story of vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac, as told to veteran journalist Daniel Molloy. An affluent black man in 1910s New Orleans, Louis is romanced and later made a vampire by the charismatic Lestat de Lioncourt. But Louis struggles with his humanity, and the introduction of Lestat’s newest fledgling, the teenage vampire Claudia, into their newfound family only strains their relationship further. In the present time, Daniel begins to doubt the veracity of Louis’ story.

1“In Throes of Increasing Wonder…“Alan TaylorRolin JonesOctober 2, 20220.622[12]
In 2022 Dubai, immortal vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac begins retelling his life story to journalist Daniel Molloy. In 1910, successful New Orleans brothel owner Louis is befriended by the mysterious and handsome Frenchman, Lestat de Lioncourt. Louis, burdened by his troubled younger brother Paul’s disapproval and the limitations put upon him as a black man, struggles with his increasing attraction to the flamboyant and rakish Lestat. When Louis and Lestat finally consummate their relationship, Louis is overcome by the intense feelings brought upon by Lestat’s “little drink” of his blood and vows never to see Lestat again. Paul jumps off the roof to his death, and a devastated Louis is tortured by his mother’s blame and Lestat’s persistent advances. He recounts his many sins in a church confessional, but Lestat arrives and slaughters the priests. Lestat offers Louis an escape from the troubles of his mortal life, and with Louis’s agreement, Lestat makes him a vampire.
2“…After the Phantoms of Your Former Self“Alan TaylorJonathan Ceniceroz & Dave HarrisOctober 9, 20220.525[13]
Lestat begins teaching Louis how to hunt for prey and use his new vampiric powers, but though he is eager to feed, Louis is not the remorseless killer his mentor is. Six years later, Louis and Lestat have purchased the Fair Play Saloon and rechristened it as Azalea Hall, but Louis still struggles with his new life. After a long overdue visit home, the temptation to drink the blood of his infant nephew painfully reminds Louis that he is no longer human. Still, he cannot fully embrace the casual cruelty and disregard for human life while Lestat toys with a dying tenor opera singer in front of him.
3“Is My Very Nature That of a Devil”Keith PowellRolin Jones & Hannah MoscovitchOctober 16, 20220.445[14]
Louis proposes that he and Lestat only prey on the worst of humankind. Lestat participates in the experiment, but Louis still has qualms that drive him to feed off animals instead. Louis feels threatened when Lestat takes a blues singer, Antoinette, as a lover, so Louis has sex with Jonah, a childhood friend in town on leave. Louis finds that he is unwelcome at his family’s home, as his mother Florence sees what he is. Alderman Fenwick targets Azalea Hall as part of a push by white business owners to force Louis and other black owners out of Storyville and take over their properties. This is the last straw for Louis, who murders Fenwick and hangs his mutilated corpse in public. The white citizens retaliate with fire and destruction. A despondent Louis hears the thoughts of a young girl in a burning boarding house and rushes in to save her.
4“…The Ruthless Pursuit of Blood with All a Child’s Demanding”Keith PowellEleanor BurgessOctober 23, 20220.469[15]
In the present, Daniel reads Claudia’s diaries. She is saved from the fire by Louis, but she is horribly burned. Louis convinces Lestat to make her a vampire rather than let her die. Claudia receives a crash course in vampirism and makes her first kill, but she proves to be impulsive. As a vampire’s thoughts cannot be read by the one who made them, Louis and Claudia have a special connection apart from Lestat. Louis’s mother dies, and his sister Grace wants to buy their family home from Louis. Over time, Claudia becomes frustrated to be an adult in the body of a teenager and acts out. She falls in love with a man named Charlie, but in her excitement, she accidentally kills him. Lestat makes her watch Charlie’s body burn.
5“A Vile Hunger for Your Hammering Heart”Levan AkinHannah MoscovitchOctober 30, 20220.465[16]
Louis and Lestat learn that Claudia has secretly been on a mass murder spree and has carelessly dumped the bodies in an area just below the river level. A big storm comes in, and a multitude of corpses wash up. The police come to the townhouse for a routine search and nearly discover the human parts Claudia has been collecting in her room. Lamenting that Lestat and Louis have each other to love, Claudia admits she has tried to make other vampires to have someone for herself, but has repeatedly failed. Claudia leaves for parts unknown, and Louis’s relationship with Lestat is worse than ever. During her travels, Claudia meets another vampire named Bruce, who does something to her that Louis will not discuss with Daniel in the present. After seven years of researching vampire lore, Claudia returns to take Louis away with her. Louis is tempted, and a furious Lestat attacks, leaving Louis beaten to a pulp.
6“Like Angels Put in Hell by God”Levan AkinColine AbertNovember 6, 20220.473[17]
Lestat has disappeared in shame, and Claudia nurses Louis back to health. A remorseful Lestat eventually makes overtures to reunite with Louis, who ignores the apologies and gifts for six years. But Louis cannot let go of his connection to Lestat, and he and Claudia consider allowing their maker back into a new version of their family where Claudia is an equal. They give Lestat a list of conditions for his return, but ultimately nothing changes. Lestat relates how as a human he was kidnapped by the vampire Magnus, kept in a room full of corpses that looked like him, and eventually made a vampire, after which Magnus immolated himself. Louis tries to broker peace between Lestat and Claudia but to no avail. Claudia decides to leave for Europe, stowing away on a train, but Lestat locates Claudia and threatens her into returning home, insisting that Louis needs both of them. Claudia decides that she and Louis need to kill Lestat to finally be free of him, and Louis agrees. In the present, Daniel dreams of his first encounter as a young man with Louis and remembers that Louis’s young familiar Rashid was also there.
7“The Thing Lay Still”Alexis OstranderRolin Jones & Ben PhilippeNovember 13, 20220.433[18]
The vampires’ eccentricity and agelessness has attracted increased attention, so Lestat decides they should leave New Orleans. Claudia manipulates Lestat into throwing an elaborate Mardi Gras ball before they leave. In the present, Louis explains to Daniel that there are several ways to “kill” a vampire, including starvation, decapitation, fire, and drinking the blood of the dead. At the ball, the vampires choose a handful of guests to be slaughtered and drained afterward. Claudia tells Louis that she has drugged one of them with laudenum and arsenic. As Lestat is poised to drink from the tainted man, he reveals that Antoinette, now a vampire, has warned him of their plan, but he suddenly collapses. A triumphant Claudia explains that she knew Antoinette was trailing her, and that she also poisoned Tom Anderson, from whom Lestat has already drunk. Louis slits Lestat’s throat, and he and Claudia leave Lestat’s corpse in a trunk to be thrown in the city dump. In the present, Daniel accuses Louis of leaving Lestat somewhere full of rats as a means to save him. Louis reveals that Rashid is actually the ancient vampire Armand and the love of his life.

Production[edit]

Development[edit]

A new franchise adaptation of Anne Rice’s The Vampire Chronicles was initially in development as a film series at Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment. The novel series had previously been adapted into Interview with the Vampire, starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, in 1994 and the less commercially successful 2002 sequel, Queen of the Damned. Rice’s son, Christopher Rice, had adapted the screenplay, and Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci were set as producers.[19] 

The project paused until November 26, 2016, when Anne Rice had regained the rights to the franchise with the intention to develop the novels into a television series, where she and her son would serve as executive producers. Upon this announcement, Rice stated, “A television series of the highest quality is now my dream for Lestat, Louis, Armand, Marius, and the entire tribe. Though we had the pleasure of working with many fine people in connection with this plan, it did not work out. It is, more than ever, abundantly clear that television is where the vampires belong.”[20]

On April 28, 2017, it was announced that Paramount Television Studios and Anonymous Content had optioned the rights after a competitive month-long bidding war. Christopher Rice was attached to rewrite the screenplay, with Anonymous Content’s David Kanter and Steve Golin joining as executive producers.[21] On January 11, 2018, Bryan Fuller became the showrunner, but quit later that month to not interfere with what the Rices were planning.[22][23] 

In a competitive situation, Hulu put the project in development on July 17, 2018, with Dee Johnson replacing Fuller as showrunner on February 19, 2019.[23][24] It was later announced on December 19, 2019, that Hulu had decided not to move forward with the project, with Rice adding her trilogy Lives of the Mayfair Witches, the rights to which were still owned by Warner Bros. Pictures, to the larger, complete rights package. Paramount Television was in a position to regain the rights to the novels as it was reported the studio was among the four bidders seeking the property.[25]

On May 13, 2020, it was announced that AMC Networks had purchased the rights to the intellectual property encompassing 18 novels and the possibility to develop feature films and television series from the deal.[26] On June 24, 2021, AMC gave an adaptation of the first novel in the series, Interview with the Vampire, a series order consisting of eight episodes, with the series scheduled to premiere in 2022. Rolin Jones was attached as creator, showrunner, and writer. 

Mark Johnson was named executive producer alongside Jones under their overall deals with AMC Studios to oversee the universe for AMC, with Anne and Christopher Rice set as non-writing executive producers.[27] On July 19, 2021, it was announced that Alan Taylor was attached as an executive producer and to direct the first two episodes of the first season.[28] On September 28, 2022, ahead of the series premiere, AMC renewed Interview with the Vampire for a second season which will cover the second half of the novel, bringing the series to a total of fifteen episodes.[29][30]

Writing and themes[edit]

With AMC’s intention of creating a universe out of Rice’s work,[31][32] show creator and writer Rolin Jones stated that the later books in The Vampire Chronicles influenced the decisions made when adapting the story and acknowledged the challenge between being loyal to the source material and keeping the story interesting to those who are familiar with it.[29][32] Among the significant changes is Louis’ background, which shifted from a white planter and African slave owner in the late 1700s to a mixed-race Creole pimp in Storyville, a red light district in early 20th-century New Orleans.[32][33] 

Jones said that the changes were made to place the story in a “time period that was as exciting aesthetically as the 18th century was without digging into a plantation story that nobody really wanted to hear now”.[32] The series also embraces the queer relationship that exists in Rice’s novels, unlike the 1994 film adaptation.[34] On the relationship between the two lead characters, Jones stated that the show is a gothic romance and that he wanted to “write a very excitable, aggressive, toxic, beautiful love story”.[31] Critics praised the series’ writing for avoiding color-blind casting and allowing the series to explore themes such as race, sexuality, history, and abuse.[33][35][36]

Casting[edit]

In August 2021, Sam Reid and Jacob Anderson were confirmed to play the lead roles of Lestat de Lioncourt and Louis de Pointe du Lac.[37][38] Two months later, Bailey Bass joined the cast in a starring role as Claudia,[39] whose age was changed from five-year-old in the novel to fourteen-year-old to avoid Louisiana’s child labor law.[31] Kalyne Coleman subsequently landed a recurring role as Grace, Louis’s sister.[8] In 2022, Christian Robinson and Assad Zaman joined the cast as Levi and Rashid, respectively,[9][40] while Eric Bogosian was cast as Daniel Molloy in an undisclosed capacity.[41] In April the same year, Maura Grace Athari completed the cast as Antoinette.[10]

Anderson, Reid, Bogosian, and Zaman are set to reprise their roles in the second season,[42] while Delainey Hayles will replace Bass as Claudia due to “a variety of unforeseen circumstances”.[6] In 2023, Ben Daniels joined the cast as a series regular to play Santiago,[7] and Roxane Duran confirmed she had been cast as Madeleine.[11]

Filming[edit]

Principal photography for the first season began in late 2021,[37] running from December to April 2022 in New Orleans.[43] Production designer Mara LePere-Schloop recreated Storyville district by building about 40 period building facades for the show’s Iberville and Liberty Street on a backlot at The Ranch Studios in Chalmette from October 2021 to January 2022.[44] The show was also shot at several New Orleans landmarks, including Gallier House, which Anne Rice used as the model for Lestat’s townhouse, and Beauregard-Keyes House, for the interior of Fair Play Saloon.[45][46]

The second season officially began filming on April 3, 2023, and was expected to end on August 31, with most of the shoot taking place in Prague, which will stand for Paris, including Barrandov Studios.[47][48] There are limited plans to also film in Paris and New Orleans.[49] Craig Zisk was named as one of the directors,[48] while the season was expected to premiere in “early-to-mid 2024”.[47] 

On May 3, given the script for the series had already been written, AMC spokesperson confirmed that the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike was expected to not disrupt the series’ schedule, but rewriting was not allowed.[50][51] Filming was eventually halted in July due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike;[52] however, AMC Networks confirmed on August 31 that it would resume after the studio reached interim agreements with the union.[53]

Music[edit]

Main article: Soundtrack of season 1

Daniel Hart agreed to score the series after being asked by Rolin Jones, with whom he had previously collaborated on the pilot episode of The Exorcist.[54][55] Hart and Jones based the score’s style on the protagonists’ time period and considered numerous early 20th-century American classical musicians as influences.[54][55][56] Milan Records released the first season soundtrack album on October 22, 2022,[57] which features the song “Come to Me,” performed by Sam Reid as Lestat de Lioncourt.[54][58]

Release[edit]

The series premiered on AMC on October 2, 2022, with an advance release three days earlier on the network’s streaming service AMC+,[59][60] in all of its regions except Spain,[61] where it premiered on January 12, 2023.[62][63] The rest of the seven-episode first season was released weekly, with a one-week advance on AMC+.[27][64] The series received an international broadcast on the German pay TV channel Sky and Australian free-to-air channel ABC Television in 2023,[65][66] and it was later made available on their respective streaming services, Wow [de] and ABC iview.[67][68] In the Middle East and North Africa region, the series is available on the streaming service OSN+.[69][70] The first season is included in the AMC+ “programming pop-up” on Max in the US from September 1 to October 31, 2023.[71] In the United Kingdom, the series will air on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer.[72]

RLJE Films released the first season on DVD and Blu-ray on September 26, 2023.[73]

Reception[edit]

Critical response[edit]

The performances of Jacob Anderson and Sam Reid as Louis de Pointe du Lac and Lestat de Lioncourt, respectively, and the chemistry between the two garnered widespread critical acclaim.

The first season of Interview with the Vampire has received critical acclaim, with praise going towards the writing,[74][75] tone,[76][77] costumes,[74][78] soundtrack,[79][80][81] production values,[78][82] chemistry between the two lead actors,[83][84] and performances of the cast.[85] 

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 99% approval rating with an average rating of 8.2/10, based on 71 critic reviews. The website’s critics consensus reads, “With a playful tone and an expansive sweep that allows Anne Rice’s gothic opus to mull like a chalice of blood, Interview with the Vampire puts a stake through concerns that this story couldn’t be successfully resurrected.”[86] 

Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 81 out of 100 based on 26 critics, indicating “universal acclaim”.[87]

Variety included Anderson and Reid in its list of “Best TV Performances” of 2022 and wrote, “Jacob Anderson and Sam Reid rose to the occasion with unforgettable style. Reid unleashed hell as the perpetually hungry Lestat, Anderson gave one of the year’s point-blank best performances […] it’s all too easy to understand why millions remain so invested in this romance, vicious and doomed though it is.”[88] 

TV Guide also listed both Anderson and Reid as one of the 20 best TV performances of the year, placing them at number five, and wrote, “Their sizzling chemistry and wholehearted commitment to making Louis and Lestat’s hell marriage as toxic as possible is what makes Interview with the Vampire work. Separately, Anderson and Reid are exemplary. Together, they’re lightning in a bottle.”[89] 

IndieWire included Reid in its list of “28 Best Film and TV Performances” of the year and wrote, “Reid took on the role with all the force, charm, and horror that [Anne] Rice dished out in her 1976 book. […] Every minute of Reid’s performance here is a master class in manipulation.”[90] 

Additionally, the website also named the series’ poster one of the “33 Best Film and TV Posters of 2022”.[91] The A.V. Club also listed Anderson as one of the 16 best TV performances of 2022, placing him at number fourteen, and wrote, “Anderson is equal parts charming and heartbreaking as Louis.

The show delves into queer elements far more than the film did (sold thoroughly thanks to Anderson and Reid’s chemistry). With his invigorating work, Anderson doesn’t just live up to the film’s take on Louis, previously played by Brad Pitt, but he arguably exceeds it.”[92] Film School Rejects named the final scene of the first episode as the twelfth best of the year and wrote, “The scene itself embodies all of the show’s facets, beginning with a brilliant performance from Anderson […] Reid flits from frightening to seductive to arrogant and back again as Rice’s Brat Prince personified. Interview with the Vampire has made the best first impression of any show this year.”[93] 

CNN included the series in its article on the return of the “beloved fantasy realms” on TV and wrote, “The series makes sexuality and race central themes, inextricably tied to the story of emotionally tortured vampires trying to be a family and the journalist trying to get the story.”[94]

Especially for the chemistry between the two actors, TVLine included a scene between Anderson and Reid’s characters from the first episode in its list of “17 Sexiest Scenes” in 2022 and wrote, “It was love at first bite for Louis and Lestat, whose off-the-charts chemistry was undeniable in the show’s premiere as temptation gave way to seduction.”[95] Time praises the performances of Anderson and Reid and wrote, “Only actors with the chemistry of Jacob Anderson and Sam Reid, who play Interview’s central couple, could make the passion between immortal lovers.”[96] 

Decider also named Anderson and Reid as the co-stars who “oozed the most incandescent chemistry with each other this year” and wrote, “Together these two actors vibe on a wavelength that is nothing short of magical. […] Reid and Anderson let their bodies expose their characters’ emotions. They have an electric connection and the kind of chemistry that becomes legendary.”[97] The same website listed a sex scene as the fourth best of the year and wrote, “Only one show this year showed us just how magical the otherworldly connection between two lovers could be. AMC’s triumphant series works because of the intense bond between the vampire Lestat and his beloved, bedraggled creation Louis.”[98] 

Queerty listed the scene as one of the 10 hottest, wildest, gayest TV moments of 2022, placing it at number six, and wrote, “In its premiere, Louis (Anderson) and Lestat (Reid) lunge at each other with an animal-like intensity.”[99] TV Insider included Anderson and Reid in its list of “16 Breakout TV Stars” of 2022 and wrote, “There’s no separating Louis and Lestat.”[100] 

Collider also included Louis and Lestat in its list of “Best TV Duos” of 2022 and wrote, “The actors’ chemistry is off the charts from the start […] Even when Louis is angry with Lestat, they only want each other more.”[101] 

Vanity Fair praises the portrayal of Louis and Lestat in the series and wrote, “Anderson and Reid’s chemistry is unrivaled. To watch them on screen together is to watch a master class in charm and manipulation, in lust and anguish. Anderson conveys unimaginable depth […] Reid, a storm of intoxicating fury, is magnetic.”[102] Pride named the series the best TV show of 2022 and wrote, “But most importantly of all, the chemistry between stars Jacob Anderson and Sam Reid is astronomical.”[103]

For individual episodes, the season finale “The Thing Lay Still” was named the best TV episode of 2022 by Mashable.[104] 

Slashfilm ranked the first episode “In Throes of Increasing Wonder…” as the tenth best TV episode of the year and wrote, “The series’ first episode is a variety pack of indelibly dark and entertaining moments, from Louis and Lestat’s naked, hovering consummation to the gory finale that sees Lestat punch a hole through a priest’s head to show his new lover he means business.”[105] 

Syfy Wire also included the first episode in its list of “Best Sci-Fi and Horror TV Episodes of 2022” and wrote, “Smart, richly produced, and perfectly acted, we get a fresh take and an updating of Rice’s book and mythology that honors her world”,[106] while Primetimer included the episode in its list of “Best TV Episodes of 2022” and wrote, “A thrilling — if ironic — breath of life, proving that TV’s determination to cannibalize any and all intellectual property can still show us something new.”[107] 

TV Guide placed the sixth episode “Like Angels Put in Hell by God” as the eleventh best TV episode of the year in its “20 Best TV Episodes” list,[108] who also included the first episode in its list of “6 Shows and Episodes That Blew Up the Group Chat in 2022” and wrote, “All of the group chats agreed that each episode brought unexpected drama and an excitement to watch week-to-week that is so treasured when watching TV is legitimately your job.”[109] 

Meanwhile, Entertainment Weekly included the fourth episode “The Ruthless Pursuit of Blood with All a Child’s Demanding” in its unranked list of “33 best TV episodes of 2022”.[110] 

Collider included the season finale in its list of “Best TV Episodes of 2022”,[111] while TV Insider included the same episode in its list of “25 TV Episodes From 2022 We Can’t Stop Thinking About”.[112]

Several critics felt that the season should have been nominated at the Emmy Awards, pointing out it as a snub.[113][114][115][116][117][118][119][120]

Critics’ top lists[edit]

Interview with the Vampire was named the best reviewed horror series of 2022 by Rotten Tomatoes,[121][122] as well as one of the best reviewed TV series and new series of the year.[123][124] The series was placed at number 19 on Metacritic‘s year-end list of most mentioned TV shows by critics as “Best of 2022”.[125]

Ratings[edit]

The premiere of Interview with the Vampire ranked as the number one new series launch ever for AMC+, and along with the return of The Walking Dead, drove the platform to its highest two days of viewership and subscriber growth since its October 2020 launch. The opening weekend performance put Interview with the Vampire alongside The Walking Dead and Better Call Saul as one of the top three new or returning series on AMC+.[183] On AMC, 1.2 million viewers watched the premiere of the series, including 493.000 viewers in the 25–54 demographic based on Nielsen‘s live+3 ratings, making the series the number one new drama on ad-supported cable in 2022.[184]

Interview with the Vampire Season 2: Release Date, Cast, Episode Count & Everything Else You Need To Know

 Whitney Evans at .

https://www.tvfanatic.com/2022/12/2022-s-best-plot-twists/

It’s been far too long since we left Louis de Pointe du Lac and Claudia in the past, and were surprised by a fascinating twist in the closing moments of Interview with the Vampire Season 1 Episode 7.

The AMC hit series was renewed for Season 2 well before the first season premiered, so while we haven’t had to wonder if the most famous vampires of all time would be back again, there are still a lot of questions out there that need answering.

Well, good news for you because we’ve got you covered with everything we know up to this very minute. So bookmark this page, as we’ll update it if any new information comes up.

Everything We Know - Interview with the Vampire Season 2

Has Interview with the Vampire Been Renewed?

Yes! Interview with the Vampire Season 2 is on the way. At the time of its renewal, Dan McDermott, president of original programming for AMC Networks and AMC Studios, stated, “The scope and breadth of this show, and what Mark and Rolin have delivered, is just stupendous.

“They have rendered the rich and vibrant world of Anne Rice’s Interview in a wonderful way, and we’re incredibly proud.

A Balcony Moment - Interview with the Vampire Season 1 Episode 7

“From the set build to production design, costumes, and more — no detail was overlooked. This stellar cast delivers powerful performances that emotionally connect us to these characters and their humanity.

“We look forward to sharing the final product of this extraordinary effort with audiences in just a few short days and are thrilled that this story will continue. This is only the beginning of an entire Universe featuring enthralling stories and characters that capture the spirit of Anne Rice’s amazing work.”

The powers that be were clearly quite pleased with the sensational Interview with the Vampire Season 1, even before audiences devoured it in droves.

Now we wait for what comes next, and while we wait, let’s answer some of the most pressing questions heading into the new season.

Watching Her Grow - Interview with the Vampire Season 1 Episode 4

Interview with the Vampire Season 2: Release Date

With SAG-AFTRA still on strike, there is no definitive timetable for the Interview with the Vampire Season 2 premiere.

Season 2 production was halted due to the strike, and as the season has yet to complete filming, it’s hard to determine when the series will see the light of day.

The series should return in 2024, but whether that be in the early part of the year or the latter remains to be seen.

Walking the Streets - Interview with the Vampire Season 1 Episode 2

Interview with the Vampire Season 2 Cast: Who Will Be Returning?

The first season of the hit series was lauded for its spectacular casting, which was led by Jacob Anderson as Louis de Pointe du Lac and Sam Reid as Lestat de Lioncourt.

Louis and Lestat’s tortured and dangerous romance was a significant part of the first season, and both will be back for the second season, along with familiar faces and new ones alike.

One of those new faces will be Delainey Hayles, who will be taking over the role of Claudia from Bailey Bass, who exited the series before filming began.

When the news broke, Bass’s statement read in part, “Due to a variety of unforeseen circumstances, I’m unable to return to Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire for the second season.

Claudia At Home - Interview with the Vampire Season 1 Episode 4

“Playing Claudia has been a dream role and an incredible ride. I wish Delainey the best of luck in taking over.

“I cannot wait to watch. I’m extremely appreciative of AMC, the producers, Jacob, Sam, the crew, and, of course, the wonderful fans.”

While Bass will be missed, we’re excited to see Hayles’s version of Claudia, who is a key part of the series.

Eric Bogosian will be back as journalist Daniel Molloy, as will Assad Zaman as ancient vampire Armand, whose true identity was revealed in Interview with the Vampire Season 1 Episode 7.

Joining the cast will be Ben Daniels, a veteran actor stepping into the role of Santiago, the leading performer at the Theatre des Vampires.

Molloy At Dinner - Interview With The Vampire Season 1 Episode 2

What Will Interview with the Vampire Season 2 Be About?

While Interview with the Vampire Season 1 took place in New Orleans and featured the beginnings of Louis and Claudia becoming vampires, Season 2 will see the series branch out of the States, with Louis and Claudia headed to Europe.

While filming was underway, it was based in Prague, which could be the backdrop for at least part of the season.

And with the addition of Santiago, it’s clear the season will feature the infamous Theatre des Vampires, which played a critical role in both the novel and the 1994 film adaptation.

Contemplating Things - Interview with the Vampire Season 1 Episode 6

The overall plot of the season has been kept under wraps, but at the time of the season renewal, showrunner Rolin Jones said, “Bulgaria. Romania. Paris. (Ah, Paris!) San Francisco. New Orleans. Dubai.

“The writing staff of Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire is honored, humbled, and hungry to add more stamps to our vamps’ passport books. All praises be to our fearless network; we shall endeavor not to screw it up.”

While not much is currently known, we can assume the season will pick up shortly after the finale events, as Louis and Claudia adjust to a new life away from Lestat in the past, and Molloy learns more about Louis and Armand’s connection.

How Many Episodes Will Interview with the Vampire Season 2 Have?

King Lestat - Interview with the Vampire Season 1 Episode 7

Lucky for us, there won’t be any guessing about how many episodes the second season will have.

When they announced the renewal, it was revealed that there would be eight episodes for Season 2, one more than the first season’s seven-episode total.

Eight episodes is a nice number for a series like this, which aims to tell a complete story throughout each season and doesn’t have additional hours of filler.

Talking Back - Interview With The Vampire Season 1 Episode 2

Is There A Trailer For Interview with the Vampire Season 2?

Even though we still have time to wait for the new season, we were blessed with a teaser trailer.

It’s a thrilling minute-plus foray into the Theatre des Vampires and the newfound life Louis and Claudia will find themselves in when they get onto European soil.

It also serves as a first look at Hayles’s turn as the free-spirited Claudia.

If you want to binge the first season while waiting for new episodes, you can check them out on the same networks.

Interview With the Vampire Production Halted in Prague Due to Actors Strike

 Paul Dailly at .

While House of the Dragon managed to continue filming abroad amid the SAG-AFTRA strike, Interview With the Vampire has been halted in Prague.

Deadline revealed Monday morning that the AMC vampire drama has paused production until the strike is resolved.

The news is a bit surprising in the wake of the House of the Dragon Season 2 shoot resuming, but Deadline notes that some of the cast filming Interview With the Vampire Season 2 are SAG members.

Uneasy Meeting - Interview with the Vampire Season 1 Episode 6

It’s unclear how far the series based on the Anne Rice novels was in the production process, but it had been filming since April.

AMC had not announced a premiere window for the series, but it is expected to be heavily featured at San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend.

Claudia Plans - Interview with the Vampire Season 1 Episode 6

While the cast and writers can no longer attend, it seems AMC is pressing on with its plans for SDCC.

Our best guess is that there will be a teaser of sorts for the series, in addition to a likely confirmed 2024 release window, unless AMC opts for the split-season strategy it employs for its Walking Dead Universe.

Speaking of TWD universe, its SDCC panel has been cut from 2.5 hours to one as the network navigates how to proceed without the talent being in attendance.

AMC picked up Interview With the Vampire Season 2 in September ahead of its series debut.

Contemplating Things - Interview with the Vampire Season 1 Episode 6

A sensuous, contemporary adaptation of Rice’s revolutionary gothic novel, Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire follows Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson), Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid), and Claudia’s (Bailey Bass GET RECASTING SCOOP) epic story of love, blood, and the perils of immortality, as told to journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian).  

The 8-episode second season will be set in Europe with Oscar and Emmy Award-winning producer Mark Johnson (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Halt and Catch Fire, Rectify) and Showrunner Rolin Jones (Perry Mason, Friday Night Lights) executive producing.

“The scope and breadth of this show, and what Mark and Rolin have delivered, is just stupendous. They have rendered the rich and vibrant world of Anne Rice’s Interview in a wonderful way, and we’re incredibly proud,” said Dan McDermott, president of original programming for AMC Networks and AMC Studios at the time.

Third Anne Rice Immortal Universe Series Eyed at AMC

 Paul Dailly at .

AMC is doubling down on the Anne Rice Immortal Universe. 

The cable network confirmed the development of a third series set in the fictional supernatural universe during AMC Networks’ upfronts presentation in New York.

Oscar-nominated John Lee Hancock (The Blind Side) is attached as showrunner and writer for the potential third series, which comes after the success of Interview With the Vampire and Mayfair Witches.

Rowan in New Orleans

“The series is set in the world of the Talamasca, a secretive organization featured in a number of Rice’s iconic novels that is devoted to studying the supernatural world and keeping mortals safe from its darkest elements,” the logline teases.

The currently untitled series would join AMC/AMC+’s Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire and Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches, which became the top two new series premieres ever on AMC+ and rank among the top 10 cable dramas in the 2022/2023 television season to date in Nielsen live+3 ratings among adults 25-54 and adults 18-49.

Answers, Please!

“The enthusiastic critical and fan reception to Interview and Mayfair is a great sign of what is yet to come in this immersive universe based on the works of Anne Rice,” said Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks.

“We’re excited to be in active development of the next installment in this growing franchise, written and to be showrun by the incomparable John Lee Hancock.”

“The Talamasca is one of the most intriguing elements of Rice’s works and a connective thread through so many of her stories; the standalone and crossover potential for this third series is immense.”

AMC kicked off the Immortal Universe in 2022 with Interview With the Vampire, which follows Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson), Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid), and Claudia’s (Delainey Hayles) epic story of love, blood, and the perils of immortality, as told to journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian).

Rowan is Shocked

The series is executive produced by Johnson, Showrunner Rolin Jones, and produced by AMC Studios.

Mayfair Witches launched in January and was recently renewed for a second season. 

The series focuses on an intuitive young neurosurgeon, Rowan Fielding (Alexandra Daddario), who discovers that she is the unlikely heir to a family of witches.

As she grapples with her newfound powers, she must contend with a sinister presence that has haunted her family for generations. 

Alexandra Daddario on Mayfair Witches

In addition to Daddario, the series stars Jack Huston, Tongayi Chirisa, and Harry Hamlin and is executive produced by Johnson and Showrunner Esta Spalding and produced by AMC Studios.

The universe has been a big hit for AMC and AMC+, so it makes sense that there would be a desire to expand some more.

AMC has had great success with its expansion of The Walking Dead universe, and it looks like we could be in for another sweeping franchise with the Immortal Universe.

AMC Networks also announced two upcoming projects for We TV.

On the scripted front, we have Bev is Boss.

Television personality Deb Antney attends The "Bobby-Q" Atlanta Premiere Of "The Bobby Brown Story"

The drama based is based on the life of prolific career-making manager Deb Antney.

“Well-known entertainment manager and founder/CEO of Mizay Entertainment, Deb Antney, rose to fame for breaking the careers of several high-profile artists, such as Gucci Mane, French Montana, and Nicki Minaj,” WeTV shared.

“She is the mother of acclaimed rapper Waka Flocka Flame and is infamous for her ‘no holds barred’ approach to the business.”

“Bev is Boss brings you into the world of ‘Bev Anthony’… a strong, self-made woman who literally fought her way through the streets of Queens to beat all the odds and become a Boss in the male-dominated music industry, demanding equality for herself and her artists.”

“Her story is triumphant: she’s been a drug dealer, a numbers runner, a mentor, a mother, an entrepreneur, and music mogul.”

Deb Antney attends the ASCAP Rhythm And Soul Presents Women Behind The Music Atlanta Edition

“She has a personality that loves hard and fights harder, which is how she has gained the respect of her clients, the industry, and her peers. A self-made woman, Bev is –  by every definition — an overcomer and a success.”

Antney serves as executive producer and, during series development, candidly shared her life experiences, an audacious yet bracingly rare occurrence in the business of entertainment.

8 episodes have been ordered, and the series launches this summer. That’s soon!

Jamie Foxx and Datari Turner Executive Produce for Foxxhole Productions alongside Executive Producers Antney and Nikaya D. Brown Jones, who also serves as Showrunner.

Trey Haley serves as Co-EP and Director, and Carl Weber as Co-EP and Writer. Nikki Love and Ashley McFarlin Executive Produce for WE tv.

WE tv has also picked up Toya & Reginae, a new reality series featuring the ex-wife and daughter of hip-hop legend Lil Wayne, Toya Johnson-Rushing, and Reginae Carter.

The series will air this fall. 

“Toya & Reginae follows the ups and downs of one of Atlanta’s most dynamic mother-daughter duos. Toya Johnson-Rushing and Reginae Carter have been famous for a very long time,” the network describes.

“Every tweet, comment, or post they make is dissected on all the hottest blogs because they present so fabulously, and Reginae’s popularity since her sweet 16 party has never waned.”

“However, what their fans see on social media is just scratching the surface.”

“On each episode, fans will get to peek behind the curtain and see who they truly are: what’s happening in their love lives, how they navigate those relationships in conjunction with their exciting and demanding careers and their relationship with each other.”

“As happy as they seem on social media, their lives are unpredictable and full of chaos as they navigate a seemingly dysfunctional family.”

Interview With the Vampire Recasting Key Role Ahead of Season 2

 Paul Dailly at .

When Interview With the Vampire Season 2 gets underway on AMC, there will be some significant changes.

We’ve known for a while now the series would be shifting production to Prague, before heading to Paris and New Orleans.

AMC revealed another key change on Friday:

A Plan Is Forming - Interview with the Vampire Season 1 Episode 7

Bailey Bass, who played the supernatural drama’s female lead, will not continue in the role of Claudia.

Deadline reports that Delainey Hayles has been tapped to succeed the role of Claudia in the second season… and beyond.

Claudia Plots - Interview with the Vampire Season 1 Episode 7

“Bailey Bass is a talented actor who did a remarkable job bringing the character of Claudia to life in Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire,” AMC said in a statement.

“For a variety of reasons, Delainey Hayles will appear as Claudia in season two,” the network added.

“We are grateful for Bailey’s unforgettable performance in season one and wish her nothing but the best.”

“Due to a variety of unforeseen circumstances I’m unable to return to Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire for the second season,” Bass said in a statement of her own.

“Playing Claudia has been a dream role and an incredible ride. I wish Delainey the best of luck in taking over.”

“I cannot wait to watch. I’m extremely appreciative of AMC, the producers, Jacob, Sam, the crew and, of course, the wonderful fans.”

Bass was a breakout star when the series debuted on AMC last year.

She also stars in Avatar: The Way of Water and is set to appear in future sequels of the James Cameron-created franchise.

Hayles is best known for the UK’s hit hospital soap Holby City.

The Interview With the Vampire Season 2 cast includes Jacob Anderson (Louis de Pointe du Lac), Sam Reid (Lestat de Lioncourt), Eric Bogosian (Daniel Molloy), Assad Zaman (Armand), and Ben Daniels (Santiago).

A sensuous, contemporary adaptation of Rice’s revolutionary gothic novel, Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire follows Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson), Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid), and Claudia’s (Bailey Bass) epic story of love, blood, and the perils of immortality, as told to journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian).

2022’s Best Plot Twists

Leora W at .

Plot twists are the life’s blood of drama in entertainment. What makes a good plot twist?

They can be story or character driven. What matters is that it’s a real WTF, jaw-dropping moment that the audience did not see coming.

While nothing will ever top Darth Vader being Luke’s father, shows keep trying to come close.
