Get ready to sink your fangs into the second season of AMC’s “Interview with the Vampire.” During SDCC, a new sneak peek teaser was unveiled, giving fans a taste of the new season.
The teaser features Daniel (Eric Bogosian) asking Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) if they can pick up where they left off. It also teases that the new season will center around the Théâtre des Vampires and Armand’s (Assad Zaman) coven. It also gives us a look at Delainey Hayles, who is taking over the role of Claudia from Bailey Bass, who has exited the series.
Anne Rice fans and fans of the original movie adaptation know that when it comes to Louis and Claudia meeting the Théâtre des Vampires, things don’t go well.
“A sensuous, contemporary reinvention of Anne 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). Chafing at the limitations of life as a Black man in 1900s New Orleans, Louis finds it impossible to resist the rakish Lestat de Lioncourt’s offer of the ultimate escape: joining him as his vampire companion.
But Louis’s intoxicating new powers come with a violent price, and the introduction of Lestat’s newest fledgling, the child vampire Claudia, soon sets them on a decades-long path of revenge and atonement.”
Here’s the bad news, fans will have to wait until 2024 for the second season to premiere. Don’t worry, we have good news too, Anne Rice’s Universe continues to expand with not only a new season of “Interview with the Vampire,” but also a new season of “Mayfair Witches. There are also other adaptations of her novels on the way.
