Interview With The Vampire Has Been Picked Up For Season 3
We all love perfectly timed news and AMC Networks more than understands how to please its audience with their recent announcement confirming season 3 of Interview With The Vampire just days ahead of its season 2 finale on Sunday.
As season 2 wraps up, so does the storyline told in Anne Rice's original novel. However, Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks, secured the rights to all of Anne Rice's best-selling novels. This means there's an opportunity to explore her entire Vampire Chronicles saga. With that being said, AMC confirmed the third season will follow Lestat de Lioncourt’s (Sam Reid) rock-god story from the second book The Vampire Lestat from 1985.
The logline for season 3 reads: "Resentful of the perfunctory portrayal in the trashy best-seller Interview With The Vampire, the Vampire Lestat sets his story straight in a way only the Vampire Lestat can — by starting a band and going 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. No Auto-Tuning. No Trigger Warnings. All Feels Amplified."
The series is executive produced by Mark Johnson, who oversees AMC’s Immortal Universe, and creator, writer, and showrunner Rolin Jones. The duo confirmed with Pop Culture Planet’s Kristen Maldonado at the season 2 red carpet that crossovers between Interview With The Vampire, Mayfair Witches, and the Talamasca are also in the works. “We’re in the middle of shooting Mayfair Witches [season 2] and [in] very serious development of the Talamasca. We are all Anne Rice all the time,” said Johnson. When asked about crossovers between television shows, Jones teased, “We are beginning the cross pollination.”
The season 2 finale of Interview With The Vampire airs this Sunday on AMC+.
