Interview With the Vampire S2 Will Follow The Book To a Tee, EP Reveals

Summary:

• Interview with the Vampire is an AMC television show based on Anne Rice's novel of the same name.
• The show was praised for embracing the queer elements of the story, which were only insinuated in the 90s film version.
• According to series EP Mark Johnson, season 2 will "religiously" follow the events of the second part of the book.

There are many people who protest against the remakes and revivals of stories that have already been told. However, they don't always turn out to be worse than the original. In fact, the story adapted from the same novel in the 1990s and in the 2020s can end up being completely different.

AMC's Interview with the Vampire, a TV series based on Anne Rice's novel of the same name, is the best proof of this point. The show delves into the issues that the 1994 movie of the same name failed to address, giving viewers a fresh, more honest perspective.

The show's second season is set to premiere on May 12, 2024, and while fans are excited to see more, many question the production's ability to keep up with the bar it has set for itself in terms of quality. According to executive producer Mark Johnson, there is no need to worry.

Interview With the Vampire Season 2 Sneak Peek

As the release date for season two approaches, Interview with the Vampire fans are getting more and more excited. Now that the countdown has reached double digits, and the cast and crew behind the show continue to be extremely tight-lipped, every scoop is appreciated.

Luckily for viewers, TVLine managed to get a little comment from EP Mark Johnson, who shared some words of reassurance:

“This is the second part of the [first] book, and we follow it somewhat religiously…. At one point when we did the first season, we actually toyed with going to Europe where most of this takes place, but we held off. So, this is really the second half of the book,” he said.

Make of that what you will! Those who have read the novel will probably be able to tell where the show picks up in the second season and guess where the story will take the characters in the coming episodes.

Those who prefer to stay in the dark and avoid the spoilers should just take this note as a sign of the writers' true devotion to the source.

Either way, this little preview from Mark Johnson is just another reminder of how close viewers are to the show's comeback.

If you're just as excited to dive back into the mysterious world of vampires, filled with intrigue, passion, and endless drama, be sure to mark your calendars for May 12, 2024, and tune in to AMC when the premiere airs.
