Renewed for season 3
Just announced today. Apparently it will focus on Lestat.
shareI hope it will be just as good as the other seasons. Claudia kind of slowed things down in season 2. She's gone now.
shareIt will probably be much better with the main focus on Lestat.
shareI didn't mind Claudia, but the 2nd actress was a little better than the first. While not an exact adaptation of the book or the movie, I think Louis here is not as depressing as he was in the Cruise movie which makes it more enjoyable to watch. Also Sam Reid is just terrific as Lestat. If the series was just about his version of the character, I would be fine with that.
shareIt is supposed to be an adaptation of "The Vampire Lestat". So there probably should not be any appearances by Louis, but I imagine they will find a way to add more. Probably we will get more Claudia as well.
shareLouis will be featured heavily in the upcoming season. This was confirmed.

leader's post is probably correct, as Encounter with a Turdpile is an "adaptation" is name only and does not give a crap about the original source material (no matter how much its apologists lie and pretend Anne Rice "approved" the final product). The previously loathed 2002 film Queen of the Damned now looks decent and faithful to the novel in comparison to AMC's Encounter with a Turdpile.
Whatever happened to "get woke, go broke"? Lol.
shareHow the hell did this dumpster fire get renewed for a THIRD season?
It's reminding me of Star Trek Discovery, a bunch of mysterious "fans" on the internet keeping swooning over it and claiming "Best show EVER! Man, every episode keeps getting BETTER and BETTER!"
When in reality, anyone with a brain who cares about this franchise knows the show is an abomination that keeps getting WORSE and WORSE....
So much for "go woke, go broke" here then
shareIt can still kill Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles.
I remember when Drekkies were gloating about what a "huge success" Star Trek Discovery was when it got renewed for a third season ("the haters have lost, blah blah blah"). It has since been abruptly CANCELLED after airing the FEWEST episodes of any live action Star Trek series (Enterprise was considered a "failure" after being cancelled with just under 100 episodes in 2005, whereas Discovery ended up with less episodes than the original series), and now 3 out of 5 nuTrek shows have ALL been cancelled (Discovery, Lower Decks, AND Prodigy), and Paramount+ is bleeding cash and likely to go belly up in a few years. Paramount+'s original plans to make their streaming service the "exclusive home for all things Star Trek" has utterly failed and even Drekkies admit that now in hindsight. Someday, we'll probably hear the truth about how "successful" Discovery was.
AMC's attempts to create a massive "shared universe" of Anne Rice novels has likewise ALREADY failed, as The Mayfair Witches "spinoff" debuted with horrible reviews and awful viewership numbers.
Gloat all you want about Encounter with a Turdpile making it to a third season, the writing is already on the wall.
A TV show lasting 3 seasons now is pretty good in its own right. Star Trek Discovery was not a world beater, to be sure, but it wasn't a failure. It lasted 5 seasons.
Lower Decks lasted for 4 seasons.

Except Interview with a Vampire actually has quite decent audience and critic reputation.
