Interview with the Vampire Season 2 Plot

During the Television Critics Association 2024 press tour, AMC made the following comments on Season 2 of Interview with the Vampire:

“The interview continues in the second season of Interview, which consists of eight episodes and was shot in Prague, Paris, and New Orleans last year. The vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) tells journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian) about his life story in the year 2022.

Louis continues the story of his travels throughout Europe, including his search for Old World vampires and the Theatre Des Vampires in Paris, with Claudia. The story picks up from the bloody events that occurred in New Orleans in 1940 when Louis and teen fledgling Claudia (Delainey Hayles) conspired to kill the vampire Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid).

Louis first encounters Armand, the vampire (Assad Zaman), in Paris. Molloy will delve to uncover the secrets concealed in the memories as their romance and love affair will reveal to have disastrous repercussions in the past and the future.

“As a guest star on Interview, David Costabile plays Leonard, an experienced TV personality who runs into Molloy. This season’s returning guests include Bally Gill (Sherwood, Slow Horses) as “Real Rashid” and Roxane Duran (The White Ribbon, Riviera) as Madeleine.

Ben Daniels plays Santiago in the show, which also stars Anderson, Reid, Bogosian, Hayles, and Zaman. Award-winning producers Mark Johnson, showrunner Rolin Jones, and Mark Taylor executive produce, together with Christopher Rice and the late Anne Rice.”

The first installment of the acclaimed Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice is called Interview with the Vampire. The best-selling 1976 book was originally made into a feature film in 1994, starring Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise. Showrunner Rolin Jones split the book in half for the AMC series, with season 1 bringing the first half to life and season 2 exploring the second half.

A few changes have been made to the AMC adaptation from the original source material, the most significant of which is the time period shift from the late 18th and early 19th centuries to the early 20th century.
