Interview with the Vampire Season 2 Ep. 4 Trailer; S02E03 BTS Look

Check out the episode trailer for Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire S02E04: "I Want You More Than Anything in the World" and more.


Just when you thought that all you would be getting would be an impressive image gallery for this weekend's next chapter of AMC & Rolin Jones's (Perry Mason, Weeds) Sam Reid, Jacob Anderson, Delainey Hayles, Assad ZamanEric Bogosian– starring Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire, the network was kind enough to also drop a preview for S02E04: "I Want You More Than Anything in the World" (directed by Levan Akin, with teleplay from Coline Abert & A. Zell Williams). As we alluded to before, Claudia is finally getting what she wanted – but her new sense of belonging could end up being the death of her…

Here's a look at the episode promo trailer that was released earlier today – followed by the image gallery from earlier today, a look at how this past weekend's episode planted more seeds for the expanded "Immortal Universe," and a behind-the-scenes featurette spotlighting S02E03: "No Pain":

Interview with the Vampire S02E03 Drops Big Talamasca Tease (Spoilers)

It was back in April 2023 when we learned that AMC & AMC+'s "Immortal Universe" would be expanding beyond Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire and Alexandra Daddario, Tongayi Chirisa, Jack Huston & Harry Hamlin-starring Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches. With John Lee Hancock (The Blind Side) set to write and serve as showrunner, the series would focus on the secret organization known as the Talamasca – one that's been a factor in a number of Rice's works. Referred to by the late bestselling author as "psychic detectives," the Order of the Talamasca was established to research, track, and oversee the paranormal world – which, as we've seen, is made up of vampires, witches, werewolves, and more. So what does this have to do with "No Pain" (directed by Levan Akin with teleplay from Heather Bellson)? When it comes to setting the stage for expanding the on-screen universe and setting up the spinoff, a whole lot – from this point forward, we're throwing on the "MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!" sign and throwing down an image spoiler buffer.

As much as we've been loving what's been going on in the past, it's what's building in the present timeline – in and around Dubai – that has us hooked. Well, the fine folks behind tonight's episode definitely fed our conspiracy hunger. Before Daniel (Bogosian) can potentially get a little personal meal time, he makes an unexpected "friend" in the form of Justin Kirk's (Weeds, Perry Mason)' Raglan James. While he never names Talamasca as the organization that he works for, the way James has a very vested interest in who Daniel is interviewing is very telling – as is how he knows what's been going on during the interviews. Adding to the ten-ton hint was James telling Daniel that "The Great Conversion" is very real, with the 900 vampires that his group has been monitoring has grown to 1600 in an alarmingly short period of time – a month.

Before Daniel creates a scene to give himself enough distance to process everything, James makes Daniel aware of some encrypted files that they've passed along to him to prove their point – and that they have no problem accessing Daniel's computer whenever they want. While the James that we meet in the episode appears to be a major player within the clandestine organization, in Rise's literary universe, he is a gifted psychic with the ability to switch bodies with people who served as a member of Talamasca until getting the boot for constant thievery. Even more interesting, James serves as a major protagonist in Rice's 1992 novel, The Tale of the Body Thief. Hmmm… will we get a live-action backstory for James that matches with Rice's work or a reworking? Stay tuned…
