The much-anticipated second season of AMC’s Interview With the Vampire promises to be bigger, grander, and gayer. This series, an adaptation of Anne Rice’s 1976 novel, delves deep into the inherent queerness of vampirism, moving it from subtext to canon. Queer audiences have long been drawn to horror, finding a unique thrill in the genre’s blend of escapism and emotional intensity. Vampires, in particular, embody a queer allure—they seduce indiscriminately and live outside societal norms, embodying the struggle and freedom of many LGBTQ+ individuals. In Season 2, Louis and Claudia, now free from their elder's control, search for their vampiric kin in Europe during World War II. Louis, still nursing his wounds from the brutal breakup with Lestat, finds a new lover in Armand (Assad Zaman), a vampire with a complex past of his own. It's a tangled love triangle you won't want to miss. Showrunner Rolin Jones teases that this season will amplify the series' grandiosity and emotional depth. Fans can expect more of the soap opera-like drama that has made the show irresistible, with age-old vampires navigating love and loss in a world that mirrors our own. First episode of the Season 2 premiered on May 12. New episodes will air live every Sunday on AMC and AMC+ for a total of eight episodes. #Queer Up Entertainment
