'Interview With the Vampire' showrunner and Sam Reid tease season 3 after finale cliffhanger

“It was important to Jones to anchor the finale with Louis and Lestat's reunion. "It is very clear in the later books that this is not a relationship that gets thrown away," Jones says. "This is actually a very central relationship, so how can you turn it back and start that journey again? We're just beginning to see the glimmer of forgiveness and accountability in that last scene between the two of them.”

“But we don't end with them together as a couple," Jones adds. "They had a reconciliation and that, in the novel, is quite bleak, them parting. We went the other way with it, which is we begin to set the journey about how they ultimately, maybe eight seasons down the road, end up together. We just wanted some catharsis. We wanted to earn that hug and earn those quiet words that none of us know.”

Eight seasons!?
