Interview with the Vampire viewers can expect more surprises when the supernatural series returns for its second season.  Star Jacob Anderson teased a bit about what’s ahead for the AMC series.

Starring Anderson, Sam Reid, Eric Bogosian, Delainey Hayles, and Assad Zaman, the series is based on the 1976 novel Anne Rice. The series follows vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac as he tells his life story to veteran journalist Daniel Molloy (Bogosian). Charismatic Lestat de Lioncourt (Reid) and newly turned vampire Claudia (Hayles) are featured prominently. The second season will revolve around the aftermath of Lestat’s death at the end of first season.

Anderson teased the following about what’s next, per EW:

“The theme of season two is this idea of memory is a monster, and how memory and guilt can follow you around. When we meet Claudia and Louis in season two, they’re dealing with the psychological and literal repercussions of what they did together. With Louis, you definitely get a sense there was some hesitance on his part — he didn’t really go through with it, he pulled back from the decision at the last minute, because he is very in love with this fellow monster. That creates tension between the two of them, Louis and Claudia, that they weren’t exactly on the same page, so for those two to be together now in an unfamiliar territory creates a lot of drama.

There are things that I can’t talk about in this season that were really challenging and really shocking to me, and I’ve learned a lot of things about Louis and myself. Another big theme in the show is that of endurance and resilience, and because of what Louis is experiencing this season, I’ve definitely learned that my own mind is more resilient than I thought it was. It’s more robust. I can withstand more madness than I thought I could. It’s been really fulfilling and challenging and fun.”

Season one of Interview with a Vampire finished airing in November 2022, and the show had already been renewed for a second season before its premiere. Production on the AMC series resumed in September 2023 and a premiere date for season two will be announced later.
