Interview with the Vampire is one of the most classic leech tales. Created by Anne Rice, the story of Louis, Lestat and Claudia took root in pop culture primarily through the 1994 film adaptation. However, thanks to AMC, the story has been reimagined.
The production is part of the so-called Anne Rice Immortal Universe, based on the writer’s series of novels. Interview with the Vampire is a film adaptation of the Vampire Chronicles cycle. The universe also includes the Mayfair Witches series, based on the Lives of the Mayfair Witches books. A third show focused on the secret society called Order of the Talamasca is also in development.
Interview with the Vampire was very well received by viewers, so it’s no surprise that AMC ordered another season. In the final episodes, viewers can expect changes and many surprises.
Here’s everything you need to know about the second part.
