It is definitely safe to say that the first season of Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire, was quite revolutionary in nature. In large part because… it finally allowed for this story to truly reach its potential. For the original was muted in many ways by the era in which it was released. But in 2024, everything Anne wanted to explore can be explored and that allowed for a powerful first season to take place. One that showcased representation properly and of course, offered up a fresh take on this true classic, and it also left us eager for more of Louis’ sorrowful tale, which is a wait that is nearing its end.

For May 12, 2024, will see this dynamic series return to the airwaves and continue the adventure and the interview, and since we are so close and so eager for a sampling of things to come, AMC was kind enough to satiate our bloodlust with a taste of season two. For earlier, a super-sized trailer was released to the masses, one that will definitely build excitement and have us counting down the minutes until dusk, when Louis and Lestat can lurk about our televisions again. And well, since you’re in need of that trailer, here it is, alongside updated details on the show, courtesy of AMC.
