‘Anne Rice’s Interview With the Vampire’ Gets Season 3 Renewal at AMC Networks
variety.comMichael Schneider Variety Editor at Large AMC Networks has staked its claim for more “Anne Rice’s Interview With the Vampire.” The series has been renewed for Season 3 on AMC and streaming outlet AMC+, the outlets announced Wednesday.
News comes just days before the show’s Season 2 finale (which airs June 30). The series was the first in AMC’s expanding “Anne Rice Immortal Universe,” which now also includes “Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches” (which is in production on Season 2) and the just-ordered tentatively titled “Anne Rice’s The Talamasca.” “Interview With the Vampire” stars Jacob Anderson as Louis de Pointe du Lac — the vampire who reconnects with interviewer Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian) nearly 50 years after their initial sessions.
Sam Reid plays the famed Vampire Lestat, while Season 2 also features Assad Zaman (Armand), Delainey Hayles (Claudia) and Ben Daniels (Santiago).
