Interview with the Vampire star Sam Reid has shared new information about the highly anticipated second season. On 12 May, fans will finally be treated to new episodes of the beloved supernatural drama based on Anne Rice’s critically acclaimed Vampire Chronicles book series.
Picking up after the events of season one, Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) and his pseudo-daughter Claudia (Delainey Hayes) head to Europe after they seemingly put an end to their maker, Lestat de Lioncourt (Reid).
While searching for other vampires, the two stumble upon the mysterious immortal acting troupe, Theatre des Vampires, which introduces them to a new and deadly way of life.
With May swiftly approaching, Reid sat down with SFX Magazine to chat about Interview with the Vampire season two, including a new original twist that wasn’t featured in the books. “There’s a really f**king cool twist in this season that is not in the books that I struggled with because I was like, ‘This is different, and I’m not sure,” he explained to the publication, per Games Radar. “But actually, you can justify it because when you look at the books and look at the way that come out, and what happens in subsequent book after season one, there is a level of an unreliable element. “You don’t always have to know the truth because Anne Rice never really tells you the truth.
