Season 2 For AMC's 'INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE' Gets The Greenlight

AMC’s ‘Interview With The Vampire’ brings Anne Rice’s beloved “Vampire Chronicles” to the small screen on October 2nd and even before the series is seen by the public, it has been given the greenlight for season 2!

This is a huge vote of confidence from AMC and we have seen the first 5 episodes of the series and must say, it is well deserved that the series gets a second season. You won’t be ready…we barely were.

The series is said to be an “modern, unforgettable retelling of Anne Rice’s best-selling novel.” The first two episodes will be available on AMC+ beginning on October 2, 2022.

Rolin Jones (“Friday Night Lights”) is creating, showrunning, and writing the series.

The series is an adaptation of Anne Rice’s iconic gothic horror novel, initially released in 1976. In it, a two-century-year-old vampire, Louis de Pointe du Lac tells his life story and twisted vampire family saga to a reporter. It was the first in a series of novels from Rice.

“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.”

Alan Taylor is directing the first two of seven total first season episodes.

The Anne Rice catalog that AMC Networks has acquired features The Vampire Chronicles series: Interview with the Vampire, The Vampire Lestat, The Queen of the Damned, The Tale of the Body Thief, Memnoch The Devil, The Vampire Armand, Pandora, Vittorio the Vampire, Blood, and Gold, Prince Lestat, Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis, and Blood Communion: A Tale of Prince Lestat; The Lives of The Mayfair Witches series: The Witching Hour, Lasher, Taltos; and The Vampire Chronicles/The Lives Of The Mayfair Witches crossover novels: Merrick, Blackwood Farm, and Blood Canticle.
