AMC Renews INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE Ahead of its Series Debut

AMC has renewed INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE for a second season ahead of its series debut on Sunday, October 2.

According to the network, the show—which is an adaptation of the classic Anne Rice franchise—”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).” Season 2, which will be eight episodes, “will be set in Europe.”

“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.  From the set build, to production design, costumes and more — no detail was overlooked. This stellar cast deliver powerful performances that emotionally connect us to these characters and their humanity,” said Dan McDermott, president of original programming for AMC Networks and AMC Studios, in a statement. “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 opportunity to revisit the passionate and shocking world of Louis, Lestat and Claudia is irresistible,” said executive producer Mark Johnson. “We will happily walk through the doorway that AMC has so kindly opened for us and deliver a season 2 that takes full advantage of the wonders bestowed upon us by Anne Rice.”

Added showrunner Rolin Jones: “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.”
