‘Interview with the Vampire’ Cast Share Hopes for Season 3 at SDCC | MTV

[@cosmicstv]

This show has genuinely rotted my brain. I literally can’t think about anything else since finishing Season 2. I don’t think any one can be normal about this show! Even the actors are so excited and invested in it, it really is just beyond anything on television right now.

[@lstarsabb]

Not AMC actually promoting the show almost a month after the season finale 😂 but if you haven’t watched the show it’s worth seeing.

[@blackcatkyoto]

It’s coming to Netflix soon so it’s worth it to promote even more now

[@MrHootiedean]

Have you seen the SDCC teaser trailer? No spoilers in case you haven't but check it out now on the AMC+ channel. WOW! Season 3 can't get here fast enough.

[@lamo1724]

Season 2 is being released in the UK next week (on BBC iPlayer). I am literally counting down. I've been a fan of IWTV since I was 11yo, when my Cool Uncle flew over for Christmas. He went to the airport shops and grabbed Michael Jackson's Bad album for my sister and I got this book. My folks had no idea what I was reading (devouring!!) xxx

[@lstarsabb]

@@blackcatkyoto your right I think more people have a Netflix account verses amc+ the show deserves more eyes

[@NEbluefire]

@@lstarsabb I think this promo is actually more related to season three, indicating that maybe they plan to actually not keep us waiting a year and a half two years for another episode like every other show on TV does.

[@earlleary]

All kudos to Kristen Dunst for what she made of Claudia in the movie, she IS what I mainly remember from that movie. But , the series version of Claudia , both Bailey and Delainey have seriously brought that character to life ! Their individual performances of her have been so strong , heavy and inpactful.

[@thats3geese]

I will ALWAYS respect Kristen Dunst for putting her heart and soul into Claudia as a character, despite being SO young. She acted her socks off and it was amazing to watch. Same can be said for Bailey/Delainey too, though they're a bit older, they've taken the same character and really made her really engaging.

[@neivilde.1242]

i really hope they somehow manage to bring back claudia. i think my idea scenario would be one episode where we have lestat dealing with the loss of her, being kind of haunted by her, seeing her everywhere, and getting flashbacks to special moments they shared outside of louis, because they only ever got one, and it would be a dream to have a couple more. but I'm not greedy, like i'l take just the one episode

[@Lyly088]

lestat being haunted by her happens in the books, so its very likely that will happen in the next season as well! and since they are kind of promoting the new season now and the actress is still there, i do like to believe at least a "dream claudia" will happen for at least an episode next season!

[@caspercrepuscular3844]

Tbh I'm hoping Ghost Claudia just pops in to snipe here and there throughout the season. Definitely would be a missed opportunity if they don't bring her back somehow.

[@chubbs858]

I got to see their panel at Comic Con and they were all so awesome! It was so cool to hear the passionate fans screaming and cheering. The show is seriously such a work of art and deserves a lot of praise. It does such a wondeful job of speaking to the audience intelligently and thoughtfully. I can't wait to rewatch it with retrospective knowledge of season 2 to catch new meanings and find more easter eggs 😍 amazing.

[@NEbluefire]

I just saw the promo for the next season of Lestat as an 80s rockstar wearing this yellow tail coat with fur on the sleeves doing an interview and singing in it, and being every inch the 80s prima donna, and I swear to you, I think it might've been the best effing moment of my life. And just to let you know, I'm 57. 😂😂😂 I wish to update my perception, and add some specificity: I see a combination of the following - Any live New York Dolls performance + INXS "Need You Tonight" + 1980s MTV interviews with David Coverdale = how I interpret this entire look, sound, and vibe. And certainly not Taylor Swift...in any way. Sorry Swifties, you're lovely, but missing historical context.
