Season 2 of AMC’s “Interview With the Vampire” kicks off with Louis de Pointe du Lac’s story already in progress. The long-awaited TV adaptation of Anne Rice’s beloved Vampire Chronicles was a critical smash in its first season, although some die-hard fans had concerns about how much the plot deviated from the novels.

As the tortured vampire Louis (Jacob Anderson) continues to tell his life story to the human journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian), a few secrets have been revealed. His human assistant is actually Armand (Assad Zaman), a 514-year-old vampire and Louis’ current lover. How he fits into Louis’ story, with he and Claudia (Delainey Hayles, amply replacing Bailey Bass) traveling through Europe in search of more of their kind, and Lestat’s (Sam Reid) fate in America, shall be revealed.
