“Interview with the Vampire” – First Look Clip Introduces Season Two’s Théâtre des Vampires
A second season of “Interview with the Vampire” is on the way, and AMC teased the upcoming second season with a sneak peek clip at NYCC that’ll whet your appetite for the vampiric story ahead.
The clip below teases the Théâtre des Vampires and the vampire coven of Armand (Assad Zaman), just as it’s time to devour dinner. The sneak peek also gives us a closer look at Delainey Hayles as Claudia, taking over for Bailey Bass after she exited last season.
Fans of Anne Rice’s novel will know not to expect smooth sailing for Louis and Claudia when they encounter the Théâtre des Vampires. That’s especially the case with Ben Daniels‘ Santiago, the leading vamp thespian of the Théâtre des Vampires who grows increasingly suspicious of the American vampires Louis and Claudia.
The series, which debuted last year, is a “modern, unforgettable retelling of Anne Rice’s best-selling novel.” Rolin Jones (“Friday Night Lights”) serves as the showrunner.
The series is an adaptation of Anne Rice’s iconic gothic horror novel, initially released in 1976. In it, a two-century-year-old vampire, Louis de Pointe du Lac tells his life story and twisted vampire family saga to a reporter. It was the first in a series of novels from Rice.
“A sensuous, contemporary reinvention of Anne Rice’s revolutionary gothic novel, Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire follows Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson), Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) and Claudia’s (Bailey Bass) epic story of love, blood, and the perils of immortality, as told to journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian). Chafing at the limitations of life as a Black man in 1900s New Orleans, Louis finds it impossible to resist the rakish Lestat de Lioncourt’s offer of the ultimate escape: joining him as his vampire companion.
“But Louis’s intoxicating new powers come with a violent price, and the introduction of Lestat’s newest fledgling, the child vampire Claudia, soon sets them on a decades-long path of revenge and atonement.”
Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe only continues to grow, with new seasons of “Interview with the Vampire”, “Mayfair Witches”, and a spinoff centered around the Talamasca in the works.
Look for season two of “Interview with the Vampire” to arrive in 2024.
From creator Jesse McKeown (“The Umbrella Academy”), Netflix’s sea creature series “Below” is swimming our way this October, and the official teaser trailer has arrived.
Josh Hartnett stars in Netflix’s upcoming series “Below” alongside Charlie Heaton, Mackenzie Davis, Rohan Campbell, Ruby Stokes, Kaleb Horn, and Willow Kean.
It follows a grizzled fisherman (Josh Hartnett) who must fight to protect his family and his community when a mysterious sea creature terrorizes a remote Newfoundland town.
Entertainment Weekly previews, “Thankfully, Calvin’s not alone on his quest to confront the unknown. In an effort to keep his son Wade (Charlie Heaton) and their family safe from harm, he joins forces with marine researcher Fonda (Mackenzie Davis) to learn more about the creature that lurks below the waves and, along the way, their island’s hidden history.”
McKeown teases, “Folks here have been dealing with unexplained phenomena and tragic events for hundreds of years. Killer storms. Maritime disasters. The collapse of the cod fishery. People going hungry. Surviving the winter here can be a horror movie in and of itself. So, these strange events fit into a long history of unimaginable difficulties.”
He notes that the series is inspired by the work of Steven Spielberg and John Carpenter, two filmmaking titans who similarly inspired Apple TV’s hit horror-comedy “Widow’s Bay.”
The six-episode limited series arrives on Netflix on October 8, 2026.
