Interview with the Vampire season 2 drops second trailer at AMC
AMC's critically acclaimed show, Interview with the Vampire, has dropped a second full trailer for its upcoming season this year. The brilliant gothic horror show, which currently has an astounding 98 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, originally started airing on October 2, 2022. It was renewed for a second season before the first one premiered.
However, it took some time for the second season of Interview with the Vampire to come, thanks to the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes that took over the majority of 2023. The second season of the show is slated to premiere on May 12, 2024, and will continue for eight episodes this time, increasing the count from seven of the first season.
The second trailer aired during tonight’s season finale episode of The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live. We also have a synopsis for the second season, as released by AMC in a new release which gives some insight into what fans can expect in the next installment of the acclaimed drama.

"The interview continues in season two. In the year 2022, the vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac (Anderson) recounts his life story to journalist Daniel Molloy (Bogosian).
