To date, there's no such thing as a bad episode of "Interview with the Vampire." Rolin Jones' AMC adaptation of Anne Rice's famed vampire novels has so far pulled off an astonishing balancing act for 15 episodes and counting. The show is a beautiful collision of modes of drama that shouldn't work on TV, including but not limited to rich, ornate dialogue, dark humor and camp, and painfully poignant tragedy. It's decadent, gothic, and melodramatic, yet it constantly presents deep-seated, timeless truths about family, identity, and the search for self.

The show also works with human memory in a way few others have before it, building its first two seasons out of a house of the flimsiest of paper cards –- the biased, editorialized, corrupted memories of Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson), his dead daughter Claudia (Bailey Bass and Delainey Hayles), and his enigmatic boyfriend Armand (Assad Zaman...

This Interview with the Vampire article contains spoilers.

AMC’s Interview with the Vampire is the lavish and achingly sensual adaptation of Anne Rice’s classic novel that fans have waited decades for. With its second season done and a teaser trailer released for the third, featuring the vampire Lestat in full decadent rockstar mode, fans are clamoring for more details on where the series will go next, and how much it could deviate from the beloved novels it’s adapting.

In the Den of Geek studio at San Diego Comic-Con 2024, we got some exciting tidbits from the cast and creator, including a teaser that Claudia, our favorite perennial child vampire, might not be gone forever.

Iwtv is one of the most acclaimed shows on TV right now, a testament to what Sam Reid, Lestat himself, says is the work of “a lot of obsessive people. Everyone is very very...

Just last month, AMC announced that they had ordered a third season of Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire – and that with season 3, the show would be moving on to the events of the second novel in Rice’s Vampire Chronicles series, The Vampire Lestat! In this story, Lestat becomes the frontman in a rock band, something that carries over into the events of the third book, The Queen of the Damned. That’s why those books were mashed together for the 2002 film Queen of the Damned, where Lestat’s singing voice was provided by Jonathan Davis of Korn. If you’ve been curious to hear what Lestat’s singing voice will sound like on the Interview with the Vampire TV series, AMC has you covered: they’ve just released Lestat’s first single, “Long Face,” and you can check it out in the embed above.

Here’s the...

[This story contains spoilers from the season two finale of Interview With the Vampire, “And That’s the End of It. There’s Nothing Else.”]

Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian) may have completed his second interview with the vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) in Dubai, but the two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist could not resist unraveling the biggest secret that underlied Louis’ strained, 77-year relationship with the vampire Armand (Assad Zaman).

In the season two finale of AMC’s adaptation of Anne Rice’s Interview With the Vampire, Daniel — with the help of the secret society known as the Talamasca, which investigates and monitors supernatural beings — discovers Armand’s biggest betrayal of Louis. Not only did Armand report Louis and Claudia (Delainey Hayles) for turning Claudia’s companion, Madeleine (Roxane Duran), into a vampire and for violating vampiric laws, but Armand also directed the show trial that was supposed to lead to the demise of all three at...

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for the Interview With the Vampire Season 2 finale, “And That’s the End of It. There’s Nothing Else.”] Just before Interview With the Vampire Season 2 began airing on AMC, showrunner Rolin Jones told TV Insider that “[Episodes] 7 and 8 feel like cathartic culminations of a very, very large swing. I think it delivers.” Indeed, few shows deliver an ending as transcendent as this. AMC’s Interview With the Vampire is a symphony of excellence from Episode 1 to Episode 15. TV Insider spoke with Jacob Anderson, Sam Reid, Assad Zaman, and Eric Bogosian for a full breakdown of the Season 2 finale. The finale began with Louis (Anderson in an Emmy-worthy performance) on a rampage. Rage gave way to madness after Armand exhumed Louis from his rocky grave in the walls of the Théâtre des Vampires. Seeking revenge for the murders of Claudia (Delainey Hayles) and Madeleine (Roxane Duran), Louis put ...

This article contains spoilers for Interview with the Vampire season 2 episode 8 and Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles novels.

Loose ends are tied off like veins, and chestnuts drop like blood into wine flutes in the Interview with the Vampire season 2 finale. The title of episode 8, “And That’s The End Of It. There’s Nothing Else,” promises extreme closure but opens the doors to far more damage to come. Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson), exiled for the crimes against vampires which brought death sentences to Claudia (Delainey Hayles) and Madeleine (Roxane Duran), dispatches the repertory players of Théâtre des Vampires with incendiary critiques and dramatic exits. His rage conspires with his madness to destroy the Coven.

In the penultimate episode, “I Could Not Prevent It,” Claudia is executed for killing her maker, Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid), and journaling about vampire secrets. In the season 2 finale, Louis goes a step further,...

This article contains spoilers for Interview with the Vampire season 2 episode 7 and Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles novels.

Hang a jury. The verdict is in. A conviction sealed. Interview with the Vampire season 2 episode 7 “I Could Not Prevent It” is moving, chilling, and adventurous in ways horror, romance, and television rarely pardon. Curtains rise on the trial for Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson), Claudia (Delainey Hayles), and Madeleine (Roxane Duran), who broke the Five Immortal Vampire Laws, and the legal procedural dismisses traditional rules of regular programming. Everything is scripted, but feels as off-book as Lestat de Lioncourt’s (Sam Reid) disregard for counseled testimony. The implicit danger of the approach is subtle, undeniable, and unique. There is nothing screening or streaming like it. You should watch it right now (or later on when it eventually arrives to Netflix).

“I Could Not Prevent It” yanks the rug from expectations and accepted truths.

AMC will be airing the season 2 finale of Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire this Sunday – but they’re not going to leave viewers wondering if there’s going to be a season 3 order. They have already sent out a press release confirming that they have renewed Interview with the Vampire for a third season… and they even provided a plot synopsis that confirms season 3 is moving on to the events of the second novel in Rice’s Vampire Chronicles series, The Vampire Lestat!

Here’s the synopsis: 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...

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for Interview With the Vampire Season 2 Episode 7, “I Could Not Prevent It.”] Madeleine was determined to survive. The dressmaker, played by the captivating Roxane Duran, met a tragic fate in Interview With the Vampire Season 2 Episode 7 alongside her immortal companion Claudia (the powerful Delainey Hayles). But even that end was Madeleine’s definition of survival, according to Duran. As the actor told fans on X (previously called Twitter), she could either “live in darkness or die with light by your side.” After choosing the former many times before, Madeleine finally chose the latter. Madeleine’s life before Claudia was filled with darkness. From tuberculosis wiping out her entire family to living through the German occupation in World War II, hardship was the norm. Profound desperation during the war led to Madeleine’s brief affair with a Nazi, Duran tells TV Insider. She says this relationship “is not about love” at all, but rather, it...

Warning: Spoilers for Interview with the Vampire season 2, episode 7!

Madeleine's final moments in Interview with the Vampire are portrayed beautifully, highlighting her love for Claudia in a heartbreaking but touching scene. Roxane Duran's portrayal of Madeleine adds depth to the role, and the intense trial sequence in season 2, episode 7 offers standout moments for all the performers. "I Could Not Prevent It" provides insight into the strong bonds between Lestat and Louis, hinting at hope and growth despite the pain.

Interview with the Vampire season 2, episode 7 may not be the finale, but it is the final time fans get to see Claudia (played to perfection this season by Delainey Hayles) as the thriving vampire she was meant to be. "I Could Not Prevent It" recounts the aftermath of Armand's betrayal, with Louis, Claudia, and even her newly-turned companion Madeleine on trial before the Thtre des Vampires. Not only are...

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for Interview With the Vampire Season 2 Episode 6 “Like the Light by Which God Made the World Before He Made Light.”] Ladies and gentlemen, Lestat de Lioncourt is ready for his close-up. As fans of AMC‘s exceedingly fangtastic Interview with the Vampire know, reports of the undead pot-stirrer’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. At the end of last week’s episode, it was revealed that Sam Reid‘s ancient bloodsucker had not only survived the Season 1 finale murder attempt by lover Louis (Jacob Anderson) in New Orleans but was also now in Paris with the Théâtre des Vampires coven he created. This week, Lestat is stepping back on stage for what Anne Rice readers will recognize as a pivotal event with seismic aftershocks: The trial of Louis, adopted “daughter” Claudia (Delainey Hayles), and her companion Madeleine (Roxane Duran) for high vampiric crimes. Larry Horricks / AMC The hour is the first half of ...

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for Interview With the Vampire Season 2 Episode 6 “Like the Light by Which God Made the World Before He Made Light.” It also contains discussion of suicide.] Interview With the Vampire Season 2 Episode 6 delivered one of the series’ most enthralling romantic moments juxtaposed by one of its greatest tragedies, setting the stage for what Jacob Anderson tells TV Insider is “a brutal hour of television” in next week’s penultimate episode of the season. After Armand (Assad Zaman) feared “mutiny brewing” among the Théâtre des Vampires in Paris in Episode 4, Episode 6 revealed in its final moments that he secretly made a plan to save himself from their wrath by selling out Louis (Anderson), Claudia (Delainey Hayles), and her new companion Madeleine (Roxane Duran). After kissing Louis on the cheek while on a double date with Claudia and Madeleine, whom Louis turned into a vampire with Claudia’s help earlier in the episode, Armand stood ...

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for Interview With the Vampire Season 2 Episode 4, “I Want You More Than Anything in the World.”] Claudia and Louis have reached a point of no return in Interview With the Vampire Season 2. Delainey Hayles tells TV Insider that “trust is gone” between them after Claudia learned Louis (Jacob Anderson) concealed Armand’s (Assad Zaman) knowledge of their history with Lestat (Sam Reid) from her in Season 2 Episode 4, “I Want You More Than Anything in the World.” This led to a blowout fight between the father-daughter duo, during which Hayles says Claudia was still trying to take care of Louis despite her “seeing red” because of him. Armand threatened Claudia for spending time with the human Madeleine (the alluring Roxane Duran) and away from the theater in the episode, which aired Sunday, June 2 on AMC. Given her murderous history, does Claudia now want to kill Armand? “I think she wants to kill Louis first,” Hayles...

Season two of Interview With The Vampire introduces new characters and a major change in the main cast. The story of season two follows Louis and Claudia as they explore vampiric connections in Europe. Lead actors deliver nuanced performances, balancing sympathy and terror while modernizing with Anne Rice's novels.

The second season of AMC's Interview With The Vampire is set to introduce exciting new characters and bring about a major change in the main cast. The series premiered in 2022 and was met with critical acclaim from viewers and critics alike, holding an impressive Rotten Tomatoes score of 97%. Many reviews praised the lead actors for their nuanced performances, which toe the line between sympathetic and terrifying, often simultaneously. While the show is adapted from Anne Rice's classic novels, it also takes some creative liberties to modernize the source material and highlight the subtext of the books on screen.

Plot: As Louis and Claudia escape to Paris after killing Lestat, and are ready to embark on new relationships in the new city. But they find themselves in a world influenced by Lestat, especially when they join the Theatre de Vampires, a performing group found by Lestat.

Review: Timed perfectly to Halloween, the 2022 debut of Interview with the Vampire beautifully updated the first volume in Anne Rice’s vast series for a new generation. With a young cast and a more overt take on the homoerotic elements of the novels, AMC’s series was designed to kickstart a cinematic universe of adaptations from the author’s works. While Mayfair Witches did not work as well, the second season of Interview with the Vampire is a welcome return to the stories of Louis, Claudia, Lestat, and more. Billed as “Part II,” the second season chronicles the back half of Rice’s novel.

After a brief halt in production, AMC was able to secure “significant agreements” with the SAG-AFTRA actors union that allowed them to continue filming Interview with the Vampire season 2 during the SAG strike last year, keeping the show on track for its 2024 premiere. The Sunday, May 12th premiere date is now swiftly approaching – and even though we just saw a trailer for the show a couple weeks ago, a new trailer for Interview with the Vampire season 2 has now been unveiled. You can watch it in the embed above.

Anne Rice’s novel Interview with the Vampire centers on the vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac as he relates the story of his life to a reporter, in particular how he was turned into a vampire and then mentored by Lestat de Lioncourt. Season 2 of the TV series will pick up in the year 2022, with vampire Louis de Pointe du...

The timeless love story at the heart of AMC’s Interview with the Vampire won many fans in 2022, but with increased delays for the second season, a lot has changed during the extended hiatus.

It’s rare for a vampire drama to offer more than it borrows from the genre, but the show managed to break through armed with many of Anne Rice’s unique storylines from the novel series.

At the time of its launch, AMC was losing The Walking Dead as the long-running zombie drama signed off after 11 seasons, so new franchises were in demand by the cabler.

Interview with the Vampire broke through with critical acclaim. The show garnered plenty of praise and solid ratings, resulting in a very early renewal for Season 2.

Now that new episodes are approaching, we must review everything we know about the upcoming season.

Get all the details below.

When will Interview with the Vampire Season 2 premiere?...

This article contains spoilers from Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles novels.

The latest Interview with the Vampire season 2 trailers feature Jacob Anderson as Louis de Pointe du Lac, tyrannically dictating the story of his undeath to journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian). The ancient vampire won’t lighten the historical weight buried in cryptic footnotes covered in blood. The contemporary talks are set in Prague, but recent clips extend grand theatrical overtures.

Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire season 2 will open with a new Parisian location, and fresh blood. AMC’s playbill says the part of Claudia has been recast with Delainey Hayles. Roxane Duran joins as the dollmaker Madeleine, a tragic figure with worse pains to suffer. The latest trailer also features a new, albeit secondary, antagonist, Santiago (Ben Daniels). The prime antagonist is, of course, a series protagonist, the vampire other vampires love to hate but remains the...

Stars: Boyd Holbrook, Kelly Reilly, Alistair Petrie, Roxane Duran, Nigel Betts, Simon Kunz, Stuart Bowman, Amelia Crouch, Max Mackintosh, Tommy Rodger, Mine Rose Daly, Millie Kiss | Written and Directed by Sean Ellis

Eight for Silver is a horror movie that was originally released in 2021 under the title The Cursed. Directed by Sean Ellis, it stars Boyd Holbrook, Kelly Reilly, and Alistair Petrie and takes place in the late 19th century, centring around a small village in France where a series of brutal murders have taken place. The locals are convinced that a pack of wolves is responsible for the killings, but a British pathologist, John McBride (Holbrook), arrives to investigate and discovers that something far more sinister is at play.

One of the strengths of Eight for Silver is its visual style. The movie is shot in a dark, atmospheric manner that perfectly captures the eerie and foreboding mood of the story.

There’s a wonderful symmetry to the lead casting of Lesley Manville in Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris, playing a woman who’s the flipside of Cyril, her role in Phantom Thread. That character glided around a mid-’50s London couture atelier with icy ownership, fiercely protective of her dress designer brother and his classical creations. As Mrs. Harris, Manville dreams of accessing a similarly privileged world of sartorial splendor, one in which her age and class make her seem an unlikely interloper. The beauty of her performance in this delightful fairy tale for grown-ups is the way in which her purity of heart and inherent goodness gently pry open those closed doors.

Manville has excelled at playing characters on the brittle, aloof, even villainous end of the spectrum; she was a viciously tyrannical matriarch in Let Him Go and the juiciest of schemers in Harlots.

"You will all pay for the sins made by our elders." Ld Entertainment has unveiled an official trailer for the film The Cursed, which is the new titled for the horror thriller called Eight for Silver. This premiered at last year's Sundance Film Festival under the Eight for Silver titled, received mixed reviews with some bits of praise. In rural 19th-century France, a mysterious, possibly supernatural menace threatens a small village. John McBride, a pathologist, comes to town to investigate -- and exorcise some of his own demons in the process. This is a werewolf film, which isn't so much of a spoiler, because it's a "reimagining" meaning the mythology is not what you're expecting. You'll have to watch to find out what that means! Starring Boyd Holbrook, with Kelly Reilly, Alistair Petrie, Roxane Duran, Nigel Betts, Stuart Bowman, Simon Kunz, and Amelia Crouch. I caught this last year and it's solid,...

Some movies revel in mysteries so well that they don’t require solutions. French director Lucile Hadzihalilovic’s “Evolution” provides an ideal example. Ten-year-old Nicolas (Max Brebant) spends his days in an isolated seaside hospital, along with several other children, all of whom are subjected to an alarming medical process. His mother, and the other women who tend to the boys, obscure the reasons behind the confined setting. When Nicolas spies on them after dark, he gets no closer to answers — but the puzzle pieces gradually congeal into a pileup of transgressive sexuality, body horror and strange laboratory experiments. Nicolas doesn’t put it all together, but as he learns to look harder, he takes action against the ominous events around him. It’s the year’s wildest coming of age story.

Buried in the Vanguard section of the Toronto International Film Festival last year, “Evolution” defies simple categorization. Hadzihalilovic...

As we slowly near the end of the year, more and more films are not only vying for the attention of critics and awards voters alike, but even the smallest of pictures are hoping to find some sort of foothold with audiences, no matter how niche the group may actually be. That’s exactly the case for director Lucile Hadzihalilovic and her newest and arguably best film, Evolution.

Despite having IFC and their side brand IFC Midnight behind their release both in theaters and eventually on VOD (likely where this film will garner it’s widest audience), Evolution is an absolutely superb drama but one that is so singular it verges on the mysteriously esoteric. The film tells the story of Nicolas (Max Brebant), who lives in a seaside village whose only inhabitants are pre-teen boys and adult women. However, their modest lives are upended when a young boy washes...

The movie has drawn comparisons to David Cronenberg and to Jonathan Glazer’s supremely haunting 2013 film, “Under the Skin.” Here’s the synopsis: The only residents of young Nicholas’s seaside town are women and boys. When he sees a dead body in the ocean one day, he begins to question his existence and surroundings. Why must he, and all the other boys, be hospitalized?

Produced by Sylvie Pialat, Jérôme Vidal and Benoît Quainon and executive produced by Pialat, “Evolution” stars Max Brebant, Roxane Duran and Julie-Marie Parmentier. The film was a festival favorite that premiered at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival as...

One of the most arresting films we saw at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival was Lucile Hadzihalilovic‘s “Evolution,” and it’s one that has been buzzing in our minds ever since. Somewhere between sci-fi and horror, the picture is completely individual and filled with stunning imagery, it’s one you’ll want to see on the big screen if it plays near you.

"I'm going to count to ten... and then it'll be over." IFC Midnight has released a new trailer for the film Evolution, a mysterious sci-fi meets body horror film from France that first premiered at film festivals last year. In the film, Max Brebant stars as Nicholas, a boy living in a mysterious, isolated seaside clinic who uncovers the sinister purposes of his keepers. We first featured a teaser trailer for this film in late 2015, and it's finally going to be released later this year for those interesed. The full cast includes Roxane Duran, Julie-Marie Parmentier, and Mathieu Goldfeld. This definitely looks weird and freaky and confusing, but still mesmerizing to watch, with plenty of "haunting, otherworldly images of a nightmare." Take a look. Here's the second official trailer for Lucile Hadzihalilovic's Evolution, direct from IFC's YouTube: The only residents of young Nicholas's seaside town are women and boys.

2Nd Update (9/23, 3:23 Pdt): An earlier version of this article listed Elle Evans as the actress who plays the title role in The Love Witch. That distinction in fact goes to Samantha Robinson. We regret the error. Update (9/22, 11:37 Pm Pdt): The same day this article was published, Paramount pushed back the release date for Rings from October 28 to February 3, 2017. Original Article: Fall has traditionally been viewed as the prime time of year for the horror film, but this summer was actually a pretty good one for the genre, with movies like The Conjuring 2, Lights Out, and the surprise smash Don't Breathe doing gangbusters business in the midst of blockbuster season. But the year's not over yet! With September in full swing, there are a number of worthwhile (and, yes, questionable) titles looming on the release calendar over the next three months. Below, you can find a rundown of 12 upcoming horror films,...
