‘Interview With the Vampire’ Stars Unpack That Shocking Finale Twist
Sometimes, it takes a “huh” to blow up a nearly 80-year-old relationship. Or at least that seemingly innocuous reaction is the catalyst to uncovering what investigative journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian) calls a “seismic lie” in the thrilling Interview With the Vampire Season 2 finale.
(Warning: Spoilers ahead for Interview With the Vampire.)
Daniel has been playing part reporter and part couples therapist to the vampires Armand (Assad Zaman) and Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) in the AMC adaptation of the best-selling Anne Rice novel. Since discovering Armand manipulated Daniel’s mind in 1973, Daniel’s mistrust and disdain toward Armand have hit an all-time high. So when an annotated play script of the trial that killed Claudia (Delainey Hayles) in the late ’40s ends up in Daniel’s possession, you can be sure as shit believe he is going to spill Armand’s long-kept secret: It wasn’t Armand who saved Louis from execution on the Théâtre des Vampires stage, but Louis’ ex, Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid).
