After vampires Louis (Jacob Anderson) and Lestat (Sam Reid) tore each other to shreds in the season one finale, Louis and fledgling vampire Claudia abscond to war-torn Paris. Here's how to watch “Interview with the Vampire” season 2 online and stream the gripping gothic horror from anywhere with a VPN, potentially for free.

While Anderson and Reid returned alongside Eric Bogosian returned as Daniel Molloy, although the role of Claudia was recast with actress Delainey Hayles now playing the perpetually 14-year-old fledgling. 

Season one left viewers on a spectacularly gory cliffhanger as, desperate to be free of her controlling maker, Claudia planned to murder Lestat and contrived an excuse to throw a lavish Mardi Gras ball, where, after gorging himself on the arsenic-tainted attendees, Lestat was left for dead. We also discovered that Louis’s familiar Rashid was actually 514-year-old vampire Armand (Assad Zaman).

Season 2 saw Louis recount how he and Claudia rebuilt their lives with the Théâtre des Vampires – a coven led by the distrustful Santiago (Ben Daniels). Yet Lestat’s indomitable presence continued to haunt Louis’s heart and mind.

What can new viewers expect from 'Interview with the Vampire' season 2?

The official synopsis from AMC reads: “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). Picking up from the bloody events in New Orleans in 1940 when Louis and teen fledgling Claudia (Hayles) conspired to kill the Vampire Lestat de Lioncourt (Reid), Louis tells of his adventures in Europe, a quest to discover Old World Vampires and the Theatre Des Vampires in Paris, with Claudia. It is in Paris that Louis first meets the Vampire Armand (Zaman). Their courtship and love affair will prove to have devastating consequences both in the past and in the future, and Molloy will probe to get to the truths buried within the memories.”

Where can you watch season 2 of 'Interview with the Vampire'?

Returning hit series "Interview with the Vampire" is available through AMC Plus in the U.S. It’s also available via AMC Plus in Canada and Australia, while those in New Zealand can enjoy every episode of "Interview with the Vampire" season 2 completely free on TVNZ Plus. The free option of ABC iView arrives in Australia on July 24.


Why did they recast Claudia (actress Bailey Bass)?

Bailey Bass did an incredible job portraying the precocious, fledgling vampire Claudia, but will not be returning for season 2. The role will now be played by "Too Close" and "Holby City" actress Delainey Hayles.

Of her departure, Bass only said that, “Due to a variety of unforeseen circumstances I’m unable to return to Anne Rice’s 'Interview with the Vampire' for a second season.” It’s possible that last years SAG-AFTRA strikes had a knock-on affect on the actress's other filming commitments.
