Interview with the Vampire's TV adaptation from AMC hasn't even aired its first episode, but the network has already greenlit a second season.
As reported by TVLine, the second run will be eight episodes long and move the action from New Orleans to Europe.
In a statement, AMC's original programming chief Dan McDermott said: "The scope and breadth of this show, and what (showbosses Mark Johnson and Rolin Jones) have delivered, is just stupendous. They have rendered the rich and vibrant world of Anne Rice’s Interview in a wonderful way, and we’re incredibly proud.

"This is only the beginning of an entire universe featuring enthralling stories and characters that capture the spirit of Anne Rice’s amazing work."
That universe he is referring to is the entire collection of the late writer Anne Rice's novels, which AMC acquired the rights to last year. As well as Interview, it is working on adaptations of further The Vampire Chronicles titles and the Lives of the Mayfair Witches series.
With 18 titles included in its purchase in total, including three crossover novels, we wonder how many the network will turn into TV shows.

The longevity of the Anne Rice TV Universe will depend on how many tune in and enjoy, of course. We'll start to see just how well people take to Interview when the first episode drops this Sunday (October 2), but the season 2 renewal shows that AMC has very high hopes indeed.
This new version of Interview with the Vampire stars Jacob Anderson, who will also be returning as Vinder for Jodie Whittaker's final Doctor Who episode, which is set to be a very emotional affair.
Interview with the Vampire premieres on Sunday, October 2 on AMC in the US. A UK broadcaster and release date has not been announced yet.
