AMC released a juicy three-minute extended look at season two of Interview with the Vampire. Teasing that “memory is the monster,” the video shows Louis declaring that pieces of his life are gone. It also provides a good look at the Theatre Des Vampires in Paris and shows the return of Lestat.
The season two cast is led by Jacob Anderson as Louis de Pointe du Lac, Eric Bogosian as Daniel Molloy, and Assad Zaman as Armand. Sam Reid stars as Lestat de Lioncourt, Ben Daniels is back as Santiago, and Delainey Hayles takes over the role of Claudia.
“The interview continues in season two. In the year 2022, the vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac (Anderson) recounts his life story to journalist Daniel Molloy (Bogosian). Picking up from the bloody events in New Orleans in 1940 when Louis and teen fledgling Claudia (Hayles) conspired to kill the Vampire Lestat de Lioncourt (Reid), Louis tells of his adventures in Europe, a quest to discover Old World Vampires and the Theatre Des Vampires in Paris, with Claudia,” reads AMC’s synopsis. “It is in Paris that Louis first meets the Vampire Armand (Zaman). Their courtship and love affair will prove to have devastating consequences both in the past and in the future, and Molloy will probe to get to the truths buried within the memories.”
Rolin Jones created the series, based on Anne Rice’s bestselling novels, and serves as executive producer and showrunner. Additional executive producers include Mark Johnson, Mark Taylor, Christopher Rice, and the late Anne Rice.
Season two premieres on May 12, 2024 on AMC and AMC+.
