Interview with the Vampire Season 2 Sets May Premere Date & More
AMC's Sam Reid, Jacob Anderson, Delainey Hayles & Eric Bogosian-starring Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire returns on Sunday, May 12th.
Some big news coming out of AMC Networks' TCA Winter Press Event, with the second season of Rolin Jones' (Perry Mason, Weeds) Sam Reid, Jacob Anderson, Delainey Hayles & Eric Bogosian-starring Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire set to sink its teeth into AMC & AMC+ beginning on Sunday, May 12th. In addition, we've learned that David Costabile (Breaking Bad, Billions, Suits) will guest star as Leonard, a seasoned TV personality who has a run-in with Molloy. In addition, Roxane Duran's (The White Ribbon, Riviera) Madeleine and Bally Gill's (Sherwood, Slow Horses) Real Rashid will also appear – as will Ben Daniels as Santiago.
Here's a look back at the extended clip from the second season of AMC's Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire, along with an official overview of what's to come:
The interview continues. In the year 2022, the vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac recounts his life story to journalist Daniel Molloy. Picking up from the bloody events in New Orleans in 1940 when Louis and teen fledgling Claudia conspired to kill the Vampire Lestat de Lioncourt, Louis tells of his adventures in Europe, a quest to discover Old World Vampires and the Theatre Des Vampires in Paris, with Claudia. It is in Paris that Louis first meets the Vampire Armand. Their courtship and love affair will prove to have devastating consequences both in the past and in the future, and Molloy will probe to get to the truths buried within the memories.
