AMC Networks announced on Wednesday that Interview with the Vampire Season 3 would officially be coming, renewing the critically acclaimed series for a new season.
The series, which is based on Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire, will see its Season 2 finale air this weekend, and is one of several series in AMC’s growing Anne Rice Immortal Universe, which also includes Mayfair Witches and the recently greenlit The Talamasca.
Currently, nothing about the plot of the third season is known or who will be returning. Interview with the Vampire Season 2 stars Jacob Anderson as Louis de Pointe du Lac, Sam Reid as Lestat de Lioncourt, Delainey Hayles as Claudia, Ben Daniels as Santiago, Eric Bogosian as Daniel Molloy, Assad Zaman as Armand, and more.
The series is written and executive produced by Emmy nominee Rolin Jones, who also serves as the showrunner. It is executive produced by Mark Johnson and Christopher Rice.
“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,” said Dan McDermott, president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks. “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.”
