As previously revealed, the new season of the AMC drama will focus on Lestat (Sam Reid) starting a band and going on tour. The roof went down at San Diego Comic-Con when fans got a look at Reid's rocker alter-ego.
Interview with the Vampire, a modern-day adaptation of Anne Rice's gothic novel of the same name, has just completed its second season. The series was renewed for season three ahead of the season two finale on June 30.
The Vampire panel was followed by a visit from the actors of Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches, which has already begun production on an eight-episode second season in New Orleans with the addition of Alyssa Jirrels in series regular role Ted Levine in a recurring role and Thora Birch as a guest actress.
The series returns later this year on AMC and AMC+.
Season two goes to Scotland and therefore features new characters. Callan McAuliffe as Abel Mayfair, Franka Potente as Annamieke and Ian Pirie as Ian Mayfair.
During the Comic-Con panel, Jirrels said her character Moira Mayfair is the niece of Rowan (Alexandra Daddario) who blames the family and Lasher (Jack Huston) for the death of her sister Tessa (Madison Wolfe). As for Rowan's further journey, Daddario said her character has a strange relationship with the new "kid."
“How does she feel about it? She wants to have sex with him and also loves him like child,” she said. “I mean it’s Anne Rice, it’s very confusing. It’s so messy. I’m like you are my father my son and my lover. It’s fascinating how she came up with these themes.”
Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches, based on Rice's trilogy of books, focuses on an intuitive young neurosurgeon, Rowan Fielding who discovers she is the unlikely heir to a family of witches. As she struggles with her newfound powers, she must confront a sinister presence that has haunted her family for generations.
Here's a teaser trailer for season two, coming out next year.
