Interview with the Vampire season 2 episode 5 serves as the beginning of the second half of the show. It is slated to air on AMC on June 9, 2024. The second installment of the gothic horror television series based on Anne Rice’s novel of the same name chronicles Louis de Point du Lac joining the Theatre des Vampires and confronting demons from the past.

In the latest season 2 episode 4, the title was “I Want You More Than Anything in the World,” which is a reference to Armand’s desire for Louis. Their romantic relationship was explored in the previous episode. While one is committed, the other is commitment-shy after the traumas of a previous toxic relationship.

As Armand and Louis navigate the next step in their relationship, hidden truths are uncovered, and Armand’s dark past comes to light, which involves a reporter, Daniel Molloy, interviewing the two, who was very much tied to their relationship back in the 70s.

With episode 5 titled “Don’t Be Afraid, Just Start the Tape,” it is anticipated to further uncover the intertwining relationship between Louis, Armand, and Daniel teased in episode 4.
