Hunter Ingram SPOILER ALERT: This post contains spoilers from “What Can the Damned Really Say to the Damned,” the Season 2 premiere of “Anne Rice’s Interview With the Vampire,” now streaming on AMC+. On the set of AMC’s “Interview With the Vampire,” showrunner Rolin Jones and star Jacob Anderson had a nickname for Anderson’s character, Louis de Pointe du Lac. “We used to call him Cuddles the Vampire,” Jones tells Variety with a laugh. But notice the past tense.
“We wanted to break that,” Jones adds, and with the show’s Season 2 premiere, they definitely put it to rest. The Anne Rice adaptation and anchor of AMC’s burgeoning Immortal Universe returns with Louis and fellow vampire Claudia (Delainey Hayles, replacing Season 1’s Bailey Bass) trekking across post-World War II Europe in search of ancient vampires. They aren’t on good terms.
Claudia is still livid with Louis for not finishing the job in killing Lestat (Sam Reid), their creator and his lover, in the Season 1 finale before they fled New Orleans. So they roam, looking for a new place in the world among their own kind. Welcomed as guests in a refugee camp in occupied Romania, they are there just long enough to gather intel on the local lore about vampires.
They spot doorways wrapped with garlic, and bullet-ridden bodies intended to prevent undead resurrections. For Louis, with a nice buzz from a little vodka, the camp gives him the first relaxing evening he’s had in five years. But Claudia, ever the hunter, stalks the night in search of other vampires and finds an emaciated, corpse-like figure feasting on soldiers in the woods.
