AMC Renews INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE

AMC Networks renewed INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE for a third season.

The series is part of AMC’s larger Anne Rice Immortal Universe, with IWTV leading the pack, MAYFAIR WITCHES (currently producing its second season) and the just-ordered THE TALAMASCA rounding things out.

“When you buy the rights to 18 Anne Rice novels that have sold more than 150 million copies, in your wildest dreams you hope there’s a show as good as Interview on the other end,” said Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks. “What [showrunner] Rolin [Jones] has done with these stories and characters, working so closely with Mark [Johnson], as the steward of this universe, has exceeded the loftiest version of our expectations. We can’t wait to see where this creative team takes the series from here and know we are walking alongside an incredibly loyal and passionate base of fans who feel as strongly about this material as we do.”

“Thank you to the brilliant casts and crews of the first two seasons that got us to this day,” added Jones. “Thank you to the rabid, beautifully unwell fandom that scaled the castle walls to get us to this day. Thank you to Dan McDermott, Ben Davis for the funds and tools to continue the great work of dramatizing Anne Rice’s extraordinary novels. And sincere apologies to the family and friends of actor Sam Reid, for the possession that continues to this day. Monsieur L extends his promise to return his body upon cancellation (may that evening never come.)”

According to AMC, in season 3, “resentful of the perfunctory portrayal in the trashy bestseller ‘Interview With The Vampire,’ the Vampire Lestat sets his story straight in a way only the Vampire Lestat can—by starting a band and going on tour. Gabrielle. Nicholas. Magnus. Marius. Those Who Must Be Kept. They join Louis, Armand, Molloy, Sam, Raglan, Fareed and others we can’t tell you about yet on a sexy pilgrimage across space, time and trauma. No Auto-Tuning. No Trigger Warnings. All Feels Amplified.”

Season 2 stars Jacob Anderson, Eric Bogosian, Assad Zaman, Delainey Hayles, and Ben Daniels. The season 2 finale airs Sunday, June 30 on AMC+ and at 9 p.m. on AMC.
