2024 Entry #49 07-01-24 “Interview with the Vampire: Part II” is the second season of AMC’s adaptation of the 1976 vampire novel and is far more LGBTQ friendly than even the source material, which I loved as a kid for its coded queer characters – and which are made wholly, wonderfully, devastatingly central in this version of the story. This season mainly adapts the second half of the first Vampire Chronicles novel. Season 3 has been ordered and will adapt “The Vampire Lestat”. A spin-off series, “The Talamasca”, is in the works and this series has some ties to “The Mayfair Witches”, AMC’s adaptation of Anne Rice’s “Lives of the Mayfair Witches” trilogy – but sadly, I can’t recommend the latter as it struggles as an adaptation and fails as an attempt at quality television. Season 3 of this series will likely be out in 2026.
