INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE RETURNS TO BBC TWO FOR SECOND SERIES

The BBC has acquired the second series of AMC Networks’ smash hit drama Interview with the Vampire, based on Anne Rice’s best-selling novel, for BBC Two and BBC iPlayer.

The series stars Jacob Anderson (Game of Thrones, Doctor Who, Broadchurch), Sam Reid (The Newsreader, Prime Suspect 1973, Lambs of God), Bailey Bass (Avatar: Way of Water), Eric Bogosian (Succession, Billions, Uncut Gems) and Assad Zaman (Hotel Portofino).

It follows Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson), Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) and Claudia (Bailey Bass) and their epic story of love, blood and the perils of immortality, as told to journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian).

Chafing at the limitations of life as a Black man in 1900s New Orleans, Louis finds it impossible to resist the rakish Lestat’s offer of the ultimate escape: joining him as his vampire companion.

But Louis’ intoxicating new powers come with a violent price, and the introduction of Lestat’s newest fledgling, the child vampire Claudia, soon sets them on a decades-long path of revenge and atonement.

Episode 1: Claudia’s quest for other vampires and their heritage leads her and Louis to war-torn Romania, where locals fear what lurks in the forest, while Louis is still haunted by a betrayed Lestat.

Interview With The Vampire returns Thursday 1st August at 9pm on BBC Two.
