Interview with the Vampire returns for Season 2 as a set of talented actors bring to life the characters from Anne Rice's literary world.
Based on Rice's 1976 The Vampire Chronicles book, Season 2 of the hit AMC drama sees much of the cast from Season 1 return for this blood-sucking adventure.
Fans may be familiar with the film adaptation of Rice's fan-bearing vampire world, Interview with a Vampire, but the AMC series promises to be a more faithful interpretation of the source material, following a vampire as he recounts a past relationship packed with tumult.
Every Main Character and Actor in Interview with the Vampire Season 2
Jacob Anderson - Louis de Pointe du Lac
At the heart of Interview with the Vampire's occult love story is Jacob Anderson as Louis de Pointe du Lac.
Season 1 followed Louis as he told a reporter the story of being enticed by a mysterious man known as Lestat, and taking him up on an offer to become a vampire in 1900s New Orleans.
Louis and Lestat engaged in an on-again-off-again relationship for decades after his vampiric turn with Season 2 picking up following a brief split between the pair.
Andreson is best known for his work in the Game of Thrones series, appearing as Grey Worm in 34 episodes of the hit HBO show. He also has credits in the World War II drama Overlord and 4.3.2.1.
Sam Reid - Lestat de Lioncourt
Opposite Louis in Interview with the Vampire's central romance is Lestat de Lioncourt (played by Sam Reid).
After spotting Louis as he comes to New Orleans, Lestate (a striking French vampire) takes a liking to the newcomer, falling for him and converting him to vampirism. Coming from a family of abuse, Lestat craves human connection, making his relationship with Louis all the more important to him.
Reid is an Australian actor who fans may recognize from his work in Belle, '71, and The Railway Man.
Assad Zaman - Armand
Interview with the Vampire takes place on two planes of action. One in the past as Louis recounts his steamy romance with Lestat, and another in the present day as the titular vampire is interviewed.
Assad Zaman's Armand exists in the latter, appearing in the series as the present-day lover of Louis, and a fellow vampire who has lived with his blood-sucking curse for over 500 years.
Zaman can also be seen in Apple Tree Yard, Our Girl, and Hotel Portofino.
Delainey Hayles - Claudia
Delainey Hayles joins the Interview with the Vampire Season 2 cast as Claudia, replacing Season 1 actress Bailey Bass.

Since then, the pair have developed a pseudo-father-daughter relationship, traveling as a pair as she navigates her new immortality.
Hayles comes into the AMC drama with only two other major credits to her name in Holby City and Too Close.
Eric Bogosian - Daniel Molloy
