Midweek Updates

Surprisingly, the month of April is going to be super busy, with not just a Weekly bevy of new shows; but the exclusives won’t stop dropping. We are here with the latest slew of news updates that seem to be unstoppable!

Interview With the Vampire Season Two

In an extended trailer that promises bloodbath, gore and lost memories, Louis (Jacob Anderson) and Claudia (Delainey Hayles replacing Bailey Bass) escape to Paris. Adapted from Anne Rice’s gothic novel of the same name, albeit a very gay twist; the sequel is set to premiere on May 12 on AMC and AMC+.

As we catch glimpses of Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) who shockingly doesn’t seem dead at all or is it his past; the present scenario paints a not so pretty picture where Louis struggles with Armand’s (Assad Zaman) compelling powers, which might have caused a loss of certain important memories. As journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian) digs deeper, he might just open the “Pandora’s box” of hidden secrets, lies, deceptions and betrayals.
