Interview with the Vampire: Discussing Season 2 and the How the Fans Have Inspired the Show | SDCC

[@francisca2896]

Babe wake up another interview to the IWTV cast just dropped.

[@annahimmel]

the hand on the shoulder he used before to keep eric from spoiling things..... it's back!!!!

[@hiii8134]

ikkkrrr im so excited

[@lahleslie5251]

That's exactly what I was thinking. 😂

[@jamesb4301]

"I was cooking it" "Until you were ready to serve it" Sam was waiting for the right moment to say that lmaoooo I love this cast

[@audrey6291]

I wish Sam knew how great a job he's doing as Lestat. In one of the interviews he said he wanted to retake the last episode where his voice breaks and he asks "Did you hurt yourself?" I couldn't believe it, I mean, I was in my chair balling my eyes out at THAT line delivery, how does he not see how great that take was?! I'm glad Rollins kept it in, that was an excellent choice on his part. Everyone in this show deserves an Emmy. All the actors are really great.

[@TouyaYuki]

I was balling my eyes out at that whole scene with Lestat and Louis! It was just such an emotional and completely vulnerable moment between the two. The words spoken.. The emotions..

[@martinaulrych5639]

Istg the whole scene had me bawling but that line? WOW that BROKE me

[@joann3190]

Nah, he isn't Lestat, not even a inch. Tom Cruise is still superior.

[@Aeunax123]

@@joann3190it’s okay to have differing opinions babes, no need to shit on what people are loving rn 🤍

[@notbillcipher]

it was so raw and honest

[@noa_thinks]

the camera person is doing the lord's work, pushing in on these beautiful faces

[@Mallowolf]

It’s nice to see the actors’s eyes without the vampire contacts

[@annalapidus943]

Be honest, you mean Assad’s lovely face 😅

[@juanitamutisa1817]

I honestly cant get enough of these interviews

[@selenarodgers5667]

Same, I just love seeing them

[@gabriellehenry526]

pretending this is another episode. thank you

assad accidentally knocking the funko pops and sam's laugh when he realized

[@zeej80]

Delainey did such an awesome performance in SE2. That young lady has some serious talent,& I’m astounded at the depth,& passion she gave to Claudia’ character!

[@persimnon]

One of the only interviewers who pronounces Assad’s name correctly! Thank you for that :)

[@chickenisindeedmystyle7316]

2:40 darker shows/media always get the best, chillest fandoms (compared to not so serious shows somehow)

[@stellaassis5092]

This interview is so lovely! I really liked Assad's metaphor about Armand and Sam's funny addition at the end 😂 Also, very lovely how Delaney was treated since the beginning, very heartwarming to know that Jacob was giving her life lessons and being silly at the same time 😂 And Assad with the "no spoilers" hand on Rolin's shoulder 😂😂😂 I'm very fond of these team, they are amazing

[@buckydidnothingwrong7901]

"there's levels of unwellness out there" couldn't have said it better myself, Rolin 😂

[@StitchGV]

We used to call the Anne Rice characters “the ambiguously bisexual vampires”, because it was only ever hinted at in the books and smothered in artistic poetry of platonic affection. Her easy-out was the fact that her vampires can’t have sex or even feel lust. The only way they can connect intimately is by drinking each other’s blood, and really they’ll do that with anyone. Another vampire’s blood can literally be medicine to one who’s hurt, so not even that can be symbolic of sex.

[@soundbiteasmr]

i love listening to assad speak, someone make this man record an audiobook

[@millyxando]

he has two! the boy with the topknot & time travelling with a hamster

[@Mallowolf]

I love how they’re all so appreciative of each other

[@theurbanoutlander4565]

Aww such lovely words about Delainey being a true joy on set.

[@madamehogan8553]

I devoured these books back in college and followed closely as the first "Interview" film was cast and shot. I love the way these actors today have interpreted the story, the characterizations, the mood... it is SO BRILLIANT. This is absolutely Lestat as he should be portrayed, spot on.

[@kimsaabani2600]

So sweet how they protected them with that last question ❤️

[@lilithali8582]

Another one thank you

[@arianaparlet9861]

Sam’s performance as Lestat is exquisite! Way better than we could’ve hoped for! I’m obsessed! Just Brilliant! If he doesn’t win an award for this role, it would be a travesty!!!

[@sereenytrye]

Thank you I was just wishing for more Assad 😭

[@VickVicka]

You should watch Hotel Portofino! I was pleasantly surprised to see Assad there!! He has a fantastic role

[@alexie5201]

@@VickVicka Yes! I wish more people knew about this show. I watched it recently, I started because of Assad but stayed for the story, the drama, and some stunning visuals!

[@incognitooooooooooooo123spy]

assad is such a sweetheart

[@Dank951]

Rolin Jones took Anne Rice’s debut novel…a novel that set the stage for modern vampire fiction…and turned it into a mesmerizing and spectacular television series that was more faithful to the book (even with creative risks and deviations) than the 1994 film adaptation could ever be. 🔥 Hate it or love it, the show was acclaimed. Warner Bros could have had a hit vampire franchise before Summit Entertainments Twilight had they allocated a proper team of writers and producers back in the 90s.

[@FortressofTrees]

I so appreciate how so many interviewers are matching the IWTV cast's and showrunner's energy in these chats by asking questions that have a little more depth or thought in them. Nice interview!

[@ZenobiaFrost]

Dear man with all the wonderful and thoughtful questions, where did you get that T-shirt? I need it more than air.

[@MarthaGarvey]

That is a.n exquisite t-shirt.

[@tiffanyadams1313]

I want one too it’s soo cute!

[@justiceblue.fenris5790]

I want more Assad as Armand

[@veronicaelizabeth2554]

Wow they were booked for so many interviews in one day. Seems exhausting.

[@mitchmatt6002]

Thanks for helping to promote this epic show - it deserves to be lauded and awarded to the rafters!!

[@Sad.Purple.unicorn]

This cast is truly fantastic. All of them did such a great job.

[@blackcatkyoto]

Assad knew Rolin was about to go too far 😂

[@freesimorgh]

Assad and Jacob are the spoiler catchers of the crew

[@IndieRockerHippy]

Sam basically flat out told him not to answer first 😂

[@vanite-blvd]

GIVE US MORE PLS PLS PLS THE DRAUGHT IS UNBEARABLE

[@116ohmygosh]

love this interviewer actual insightful questions

[@nkechi4635]

Once there's a new IWTV interview, I'm there

[@biancablast8153]

" beautiful dialog" is correct the writers are AMAZING!!🎉🎉🎉

[@musicis4635]

My FOLKS! Also, the interviewer's shirt...yes.

[@Mel-me9sw]

This was so good!

[@turfey21]

Honestly the actors blow me away with their skill and I hope they make all of the vampire chronicles books as there's 13 I couldn't think of anyone better to play the main characters and look forward to seeing the show the vampire Lestat in later times The one thing that baffles me though is now Sam reid and Jacob Anderson put on the voices/ accents

[@angelafranco3936]

Grandes actores ❤ me encantan sus entrevistas Sam es tan adorable y su voz me hace sentir como en casa.❤❤❤❤

[@amyacosta6376]

Love Lestat.

[@bellessub]

I love Delaney so much, she’s so pretty 🥹🩷

[@mieroth]

Love group interviews! Hope to see everyone (yes, everyone!) here back for season 3. ❤ Also hoping they're not actually getting inspiration from the fandom (since this fandom is an absolute toxic mess full of bad takes, bless us all 💔). But I get that it's something they have to say, but hoping it's just them being politically correct. 😂

[@aldan1694]

Amazing cast!

Probably sooner like Fall 2025

[@amorphiasy]

@freesimorgh S2 of Mayfair Witches will release in 2025, not sure at all AMC will release same year IWTV S3 too.

[@IndieRockerHippy]

If they split IWTV into 2 seasons, then i'd say they'll split this book too. There's so much in it. But I'd say next year too 🤞🏼

[@amorphiasy]

@@IndieRockerHippy i thought indeed at 2 seasons. As i said they'll release Mayfair Witches S2 in 2025 already, not sure they'll release both with IWTV S3 same year

"young" cloudia looks 50 years old😆😆😆

[@lovernumber7]

Jfc the WORSE SOUND I HAVE EVER HEARD, I could barely understand things and when I put it a bit louder and almost pierced my eardrums when they laughed, like wtf guys

[@joann3190]

And its disrespectful, but not surprise the comments ONLY compliment Sam instead of Assad and Delainey, which I think they did a WAY better job, especially Assad, he nailed Armand! But we know fandom are racist and only acknowledge the white actors. So I am here to say that ASSAD and Delainey did a wonderfully beautiful job at portraying characters that I love to read. I still think Sam is a HORRIBLE version of Lestat!

[@grapejuicerry1982]

because Sam carries the show on his back. god I can’t wait until you bitter ass sam antis have to watch an ENTIRE season of him 😂😂😂 cope

[@justiceblue.fenris5790]

You change so much from the books so Anne if she live will be angry..

[@flower1990-B]

The woman aged . She must be removed from the show to be relevant.

[@jujulie4]

wtf

[@forevelyn]

this is so weird

[@joann3190]

Assad made IWTV season two, he was gorgeous and made Armand real. And I miss Jacob, the interview is so boring without him, and it is ashamed he isnt in these interviews and we never get a channce to see Assad and him talking about that epic scene! And, not surprise people don't mention his absent, if it was the other way around, people will ONLY acknowledge Sam's absent.

[@grapejuicerry1982]

not everything is about race jfc

[@joann3190]

I am still hating on Sam's version of my Lestat, he didn't do justice for my brat Prince. I personally think people just like him because he is the ONLY white actor, and or they HATE Tom Cruise, which I believe, and Anne Rice had said, was Lestat, he embodied him.

[@cullenarthur8879]

You seem very bitter. Sam is awesome as Lestat.

[@grapejuicerry1982]

you’re on crack. sam is MILES above tom. that man IS lestat.

[@biancasmith1072]

Hater cope harder! The straight lies bullshitting out of your grotesque mouth 😬
