We're not ready to leave the world of Louis de Pointe du Lac just yet!
AMC's popular and critically-acclaimed Anne Rice television adaptation of Interview with the Vampire is getting a highly-anticipated third season!
Interview With the Vampire stars Jacob Anderson as Louis de Pointe du Lac, who was once a successful New Orleans hustler, and is now an immortal vampire. Through the series, he reconnects with interviewer Daniel Molly nearly 50 years after their first meeting. Other stars include Sam Reid as Lestat, Assad Zaman as Armand, Delainey Hayles as Claudia, and Ben Daniels as Santiago.— (@)
This announcement comes shortly ahead of the show's season 2 finale, which will air this weekend on Sunday, June 30.
According to Deadline, season 3 will follow Lestat as he starts a band and goes on tour. "Gabrielle. Nicholas. Magnus. Marius. Those Who Must Be Kept. They join Louis, Armand, Molloy, Sam, Raglan, Fareed and others we can’t tell you about yet on a sexy pilgrimage across space, time and trauma," Deadline reports.
"Thank you to the brilliant casts and crews of the first two seasons that got us to this day. Thank you to the rabid, beautifully unwell fandom that scaled the castle walls to get us to this day," creator, writer, and showrunner Rolin Jones said in a statement. "Thank you to Dan McDermott, Ben Davis for the funds and tools to continue the great work of dramatizing Anne Rice’s extraordinary novels. And sincere apologies to the family and friends of actor Sam Reid, for the possession that continues to this day. Monsieur L extends his promise to return his body upon cancellation (may that evening never come)."
"When you buy the rights to 18 Anne Rice novels that have sold more than 150 million copies, in your wildest dreams you hope there’s a show as good as Interview on the other end," AMC Studios president of entertainment Dan McDermott said in a statement. "What Rolin has done with these stories and characters, working so closely with Mark, as the steward of this universe, has exceeded the loftiest version of our expectations. We can’t wait to see where this creative team takes the series from here and know we are walking alongside an incredibly loyal and passionate base of fans who feel as strongly about this material as we do."
