AMC‘s Interview With the Vampire Season 2 ends with a wild revelation that might change how fans look at Louis (Jacob Anderson), Lestat (Sam Reid), and Armand (Assad Zaman) forever. Over the course of the last 15 episodes, we’ve watched as experienced journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian) attempts a re-do on a fateful interview with Louis in the ’70s. What quickly becomes apparent is that besides being a wild yarn, Louis’s story is being told by an extremely unreliable narrator. The ultimate truth that Molloy uncovers isn’t so much an indictment of Louis, but a wild revelation about Louis’s most personal romantic relationships. Spoilers for Interview With the Vampire Season 2 Episode 8 “And That’s The End of It. There’s Nothing Else,” now streaming on AMC+
In the last two episodes of Interview With the Vampire
Louis has explained to Molloy that he would have been killed, like Claudia (Delainey Hayles), by the Paris Coven at the Théâtre des Vampires were it not for his great love, Armand. We’re told that Armand psychically controlled the entire crowd to spare Louis’s life. When Louis eventually becomes free from his imprisonment, he hatches a plan to murder the vampires who killed Claudia and succeeds. Then, after mocking Lestat, he and Armand spend the next few decades together in domestic bliss. However, with the help of the Talamasca, Molloy is able to prove this story is a lie. When confronted with the reality of what actually transpired, Louis’s world will be rocked forever. So what did happen? Who made Molloy a vampire? And what do Sam Reid and Jacob Anderson make of the Interview With the Vampire Season 2 finale’s revelations? Here’s everything you need to know about Interview With the Vampire Season 2 Episode 8 “And That’s The End of It. There’s Nothing Else”…
Interview With the Vampire Season 2 Ending Explained: Lestat Saved Louis, Not Armand
Armand didn’t save Louis. Lestat did. And Molloy figures this out through the classic journalistic conceit of fact-checking. At the end of the interview, Molloy circles back to a scene from Season 1, where Lestat was able to psychically control a large group of soldiers, with considerable effort that is. This proves Lestat had the power to also save Louis. What really cinches it, however, is an original copy of the trial’s script, complete with marginalia from Armand proving he directed the whole thing. Louis seems pretty shocked and horrified to realize that it was Lestat, not Armand, who saved him, but Interview With the Vampire star Jacob Anderson told Decider that “I think on some level he doesn’t find it hard to believe Lestat would do it.”
Interview With the Vampire Season 2’s Final Scene: Jacob Anderson Explains “I Own The Night”
The final scene of Interview With the Vampire Season 2 takes us after the publication of Daniel Molloy’s best-selling book about his, you know, interview with a vampire. While humans are scoffing at it, believing the legendary journalist has jumped the shark, the vampire community is not happy their secrets have been exposed. In a psychic conversation that reveals that Armand made Molloy a vampire after all, Molloy tells Louis every vampire in the world is gunning for him. Louis then addresses them all, mocking them and asserting he can take them all. The last thing he says is “I own the night.” Anderson wanted to be coy about what this speech meant to Louis.
So what comes next for the Vampire Louis? Is Interview With the Vampire Cancelled? Will There Be an Interview With the Vampire Season 3?
Will there be an Interview With the Vampire Season 3? Yes, there will! AMC announced last week that Interview With the Vampire Season 3 would be an adaptation of the next book in Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles, The Vampire Lestat. “In season three, resentful of the perfunctory portrayal in the trashy bestseller “Interview With The Vampire,” the Vampire Lestat sets his story straight in a way only the Vampire Lestat can—by starting a band and going on tour. Gabrielle. Nicholas. Magnus. Marius. Those Who Must Be Kept. They join Louis, Armand, Molloy, Sam, Raglan, Fareed and others we can’t tell you about yet on a sexy pilgrimage across space, time and trauma. No Auto-Tuning. No Trigger Warnings. All Feels Amplified,” said an AMC press release.
