Meet the cast of Interview with the Vampire TV series
The second season of Interview with the Vampire is gearing up to get started across the Atlantic, with Jacob Anderson returning as vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac as he continues to recount his previous life and romantic past with Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid).
Based on the bestselling novel by Anne Rice, the series chronicles Louis and Lestat’s epic story of love, blood and the perils of immortality, and we follow it through the former’s interviews with journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian).
A UK release date has not yet been confirmed for season 2 – although given the BBC previously acquired the rights to the show we hopefully won’t have too long to wait – but if you’re wondering which cast members will be back for the second run we’ve compiled everything you need to know below.
At least one major character has been recast for the second run with Claudia star Bailey Bass replaced by Delainey Hayles, while Ben Daniels has joined the cast as Santiago for the new season.
But who’s who in this new drama? Read on for everything you need to know about the cast of Interview with the Vampire.
