ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Book readers knew the big betrayal where Louis and Claudia double-cross Lestat was coming.
And I’m not sure if he accepts it entirely.

I’m not sure if he feels great about it.
Knowing Lestat, there’s a good chance there’s no acceptance on his end.
[Laughs] Yeah, he doesn’t accept anything apart from his own way, really.
But he is not an idle guy, he doesn’t really sit around.
And if he is sitting around, he’s staring at the details in the wallpaper.
He’s always doing something, he’s always busy.
Where does season 2 pick up for him?
What is really exciting about this season is seeing the vampire theater, the Theatre des Vampires.
I cannot wait for people to see that.
She is a beautiful actress, and I think what she’s brought to Claudia is exceptional.
I can’t wait for people to see her in this role.
They are apart, and Louis has a new partner, Armand, played by Assad Zaman.
Armand is a really awesome character that has a lot of connections to a lot of the vampires.
He’s very old.
It’s a wild ride.
I get tingles when I see Assad as Armand it’s very spine-tinglingly good.
As is Ben Daniels, who plays Santiago.
People are in for a real treat.
What other changes to the book can fans expect to see in season 2?
What I think is going to be exciting for people to see is that this season really breaks open.
It is a lot bigger than just that drawing room in New Orleans.
And we honor that in the show.
We’re not always making choices that are going to make everyone happy.
We’re honoring that kind of anarchic element that Anne Rice had in her writing.
