The gothic horror series has more story to tell.
June 26, 2024
AMC announced today that Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire has been renewed for a third season. The early pickup comes days ahead of the gothic horror series' sophomore finale this Sunday.
"Thank you to the brilliant casts and crews of the first two seasons that got us to this day," said creator and showrunner Rolin 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.)"
"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 Rolin has done with these stories and characters, working so closely with Mark, 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."
An updated take on Anne Rice's 1976 gothic novel, the series follows Louis de Pointe du Lac, Lestat de Lioncourt, and Claudia's epic story of love, blood, and the perils of immortality as told to journalist Daniel Molloy. Frustrated with the limitations of living life as a black man in 1900s New Orleans, Louis finds it impossible to resist Lestat's offer of becoming his vampire companion. But Louis' intoxicating new powers come with a violent price, and the introduction of Lestat's newest fledgling, the child vampire Claudia, sets them on a decades-long path of revenge and atonement.

AMC allowed season 1 to progress in a sensual and inviting manner. Season 2 is full of multiple ad breaks that just cut into the screenplay horrendously. It's very hard to flow with the story when harsh ads break in without accomodating natural breaks in the story line. These greedy channels have no concept of finesse and ruin their well-built products before our eyes.

For all of you who are unfamiliar with Ann Rice’s The Vampire Chronicles, this adaptation is close to the source material, unlike the movie. Interview With The Vampire is the first book in a long series of books where Lestat is the main character. He basically ends up being a vampire god in the end. For anyone who is offended by the homosexuality/bisexuality in the show, it’s very common in vampire stories. Vampires are known for feeding their carnal desires and having sex with anyone regardless of there gender. Just watch What We Do In The Shadows

I agree with Juicy Lucy. Loved the first season, but I couldn't get into season 2. I hate all of the interview parts with Eric Bogosian, and I don't like that Lestat isn't a main character in this season.

I loved the show last year but losing interest this second season. Glad it is renewed for a season 3 for its fans but not sure if I will be watching.

Why? Its slow, drawn out and boring as hell. Vampire soap opera of 40 minute episodes of endless whining about regret, lost love, poor me, self loathing and lame couples therapy. They killed of the only vampire that acted like one.

This show is worse than what Erin Moriarty did to her face.

Nice! I’m a big Anne Rice fan and I’ve been enjoying this adaptation a lot. I can’t wait to see where it goes from here! Love the leads and their chemistry!
