Interview With the Vampire Season 2 Video Reunites Louis and Lestat, Introduces New Actress Playing Claudia
“OK, so where did we leave off?” That very complicated question ushers in the first footage from Interview With the Vampire‘s second season, revealed Friday at San Diego Comic-Con.
Coming to AMC and AMC+ sometime in 2024, the Anne Rice drama’s second season picks up with vampires Louis and Claudia meeting the members of a mysterious coven — one with a connection to someone they both know quite well.
Interview With the Vampire‘s ensemble cast includes Jacob Anderson Game of Thrones) as Louis de Pointe du Lac, Sam Reid as Lestat de Lioncourt and Eric Bogosian as Daniel Molloy.
As previously reported, actress Bailey Bass will not be returning in the role of Claudia. The part will now be played by Delainey Hayles, who makes her debut in the teaser.
“Due to a variety of unforeseen circumstances, I’m unable to return to Anne Rice’s Interview With the Vampire for the second season,” Bass said in a statement in March. “Playing Claudia has been a dream role and an incredible ride. I wish Delainey the best of luck in taking over. I cannot wait to watch.”
Along with the Alexandra Daddario-led Mayfair Witches, which has also been renewed for a second season, Interview With the Vampire is part of AMC Networks and Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe. A third series in the franchise, this time focused on the secret organization called the Talamasca, is also in the works.

Bummer that the original Claudia won’t be retuning. She stole the show for me. What an excellent actress.
I love the original Claudia I hope the new one will be just as good but every point of her playing Claudia made me love her character wayy more she really took her role beyond,I love these characters wayyyy better than the original Brad Pitt Tom cruise’s version, Brad Pitt would of been good playing Lastat in this version lol I love the rawness and meanness in this version
Much though I’m looking forward to this 2nd. season, I also wonder… will there be a third? And if so, will they basically hush aside that it’s nominally based on the first novel and start extending it with the following ones? (And if so, what about Jacob Anderson? He only really gets top casting as long as Louis is a primary character, which he definitely isn’t from “Lestat the vampire” thereon).
Can’t wait for the return! Will miss Bailey!
I binge watched the first season. I could not turn off my television set. I had to keep watching to see what would happen next. The casting was superb, and the unabashed displaying of a same sex attraction/relationship was quite bold. In the books, Anne Rice’s story had strong overtones of homoerotic chemistry, and she had said that in her vampire world they did not actually have sex. I guess at the time the books were written the subject of gay love was still tip toed around. However, the series does not hold back from the physical love between the characters. This was quite a revelation for me. I admire how the characters immersed themselves in their roles. Great series. I can hardly wait for season 2.
