Interview with the Vampire season 2 plot
Here's what AMC said about Interview with the Vampire season 2 at the Television Critics Association 2024 press tour:
"In Interview’s eight-episode second season, which wrapped production last year in Prague, Paris and New Orleans, the interview continues. In the year 2022, the vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) recounts his life story to journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian). Picking up from the bloody events in New Orleans in 1940 when Louis and teen fledgling Claudia (Delainey Hayles) conspired to kill the Vampire Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid), Louis tells of his adventures in Europe, a quest to discover Old World Vampires and the Theatre Des Vampires in Paris, with Claudia. It is in Paris that Louis first meets the vampire Armand (Assad 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.
"David Costabile joins the cast of Interview as a guest star in the role of Leonard, a seasoned TV personality who has a run-in with Molloy. Recurring guest stars this season include Roxane Duran (The White Ribbon, Riviera) as Madeleine and Bally Gill (Sherwood, Slow Horses) as 'Real Rashid.' In addition to Anderson, Reid, Bogosian, Hayles and Zaman, the series stars Ben Daniels as Santiago and is executive produced by award-winning producer Mark Johnson, Showrunner Rolin Jones and Mark Taylor, with Christopher Rice and the late Anne Rice."
Interview with the Vampire is the first book in Anne Rice's beloved Vampire Chronicles. The bestselling 1976 novel was first adapted as a feature film starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt in 1994. For the purposes of the AMC series, the book was divided in half by showrunner Rolin Jones, who brought the first half to life in season 1 and will explore the second half with season 2.
The AMC adaptation has seen some adjustments from the original source material, most notably a switch in time periods from the late 18th century and early 19th century to the early 20th century.
