In today’s fangtastic news for vampire fans, AMC have officially ordered a third season of their hit series Interview with the Vampire.
The good news comes shortly after the announcement that another of Rice’s works, The Talamasca, is set to be adapted, joining Interview with the Vampire and Mayfair Witches (currently in production on its second season) in AMC’s Anne Rice Immortal Universe.
The official logline for Season 3 reads as follows:
Resentful of the perfunctory portrayal in the trashy bestseller 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.”
Season 2, which finishes on June 30, stars Jacob Anderson, Sam Reid, Eric Bogosian, Assad Zaman, Delainey Hayles and Ben Daniels. Without spoiling, we’re sure most of them will be returning for a third season…
Executive producer Mark Johnson, who oversees AMC’s Anne Rice Immortal Universe; creator, writer and showrunner Rolin Jones and Mark Taylor are also seemingly set to return.
President of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks Dan McDermott expressed his excitement:
“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 [..] 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.”
Keep your eyes peeled and fangs bared for more Interview with the Vampire updates as they roll in!
