Interview With The Vampire had its double-episode premiere over the weekend, and AMC's adaptation got off to a very strong start with a fresh, funny, sexy and hugely compelling take on the late Anne Rice's classic novel.

Now, the network has debuted a new trailer teasing what's to come during the rest of the season.

The new footage spotlights Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) as he struggles to maintain some shred of humanity after being bestowed with Lestat de Lioncourt's (Sam Reid) "dark gift." We are also introduced to an older take on Claudia (Bailey Bass), who will (presumably) make her presence felt in episode 3.

This series actually serves as both a sequel and reboot, as Louis contacts Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian) many years after their first meeting to conduct a new interview. Whether things will play out in the present day as they did in Rice's novels remains to be seen.

Check out the trailer below, and let us know if you enjoyed the season premiere of Interview With The Vampire in the comments.

“A sensuous, contemporary reinvention of Anne Rice’s revolutionary gothic novel, Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire follows Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson), Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) and Claudia’s (Bailey Bass) epic story of love, blood, and the perils of immortality, as told to journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian). Chafing at the limitations of life as a Black man in 1900s New Orleans, Louis finds it impossible to resist the rakish Lestat de Lioncourt’s offer of the ultimate escape: joining him as his vampire companion. “But Louis’s intoxicating new powers come with a violent price, and the introduction of Lestat’s newest fledgling, the child vampire Claudia, soon sets them on a decades-long path of revenge and atonement.”

The eight-episode first season debuted on October 2. Rolin Jones is on board as writer, executive producer, and showrunner, while Mark Johnson will executive produce along with Christopher Rice. Alan Taylor will direct the first two episodes.

Neil Jordan helmed the 1994 feature adaptation of Interview With The Vampire, which starred Brad Pitt as Louis, Tom Cruise as Lestat, and Christian Slater as Malloy.

I don’t understand the obsession with race nowadays. Whatever happened to judging a person by the content of his character? I am neither black nor white and have never cared about races when I watched movies or shows or read books/comics. I related to characters because of their traits and characteristics so I didn’t feel the need to see my race represented.

With that said I prefer book/comics to be translated as close to the source material as possible. Especially for characters that have years of history. I feel once you start changing things around you lose some of the essence of the characters.

I think the way to go with representation is to give others the opportunity to create new worlds and characters. A fine example is Morpheus from the Matrix. A great original character that I could relate to even though he looked nothing like me.

That first episode was extremely good. Couldn’t stop thinking about it after it ended. This show is going to be something special.
