Warning: MAJOR SPOILERS ahead for Interview with the Vampire season 2 finale and Anne Rice’s The Vampire Chronicles book series!

Interview with the Vampire stars Assad Zaman and Eric Bogosian want to see the TV series adapt one important romance from Anne Rice’s books onscreen. Interview with the Vampire season 2 had a key focus on Louis and his love for other vampires, in particular his relationship with Armand and his history with Lestat. By the end of season 2, Louis breaks up with Armand after discovering it was Lestat who saved him during the trial, finally making amends with his first love. At the same time, though, Armand ends up turning Daniel into a vampire.

Speaking with Screen Rant, Zaman and Bogosian, who portray Armand and Daniel respectively, spoke about how they want to see the unexpected romance between their characters later during Interview with the Vampire. The actors discuss the Devil’s Minion chapter of Queen of the Damned, while also explaining why it would be important for the duo to have their brief romance later in the show. Check out what Zaman and Bogosian had to say below:

Assad Zaman: I think it’s there in a number of ways that we can explore it, but this season was meant to tell a different story. We’ve very much focused on telling Louis’ story and finishing this chapter of Interview with the Vampire, but that doesn’t mean that we haven’t sprinkled in elements that we do want to explore later on. There’s bits of The Vampire Lestat, there’s bits of “Devil’s Minion,” there’s bits of Queen of the Damned and Talamasca stuff that we are hopefully very much going to explore.

And I have always said I am more willing to go down the “Devil’s Minion” route with Eric or Luke or both. It might be a nice parallel, alternate reality version to do a three-way. [Laughs]

Eric Bogosian: I was playing catch up on reading the books when we started, and I just finished the seventh book after we got back from Prague. But way back in the beginning, we first met each other, Assad kept saying, “Yeah, we’re hooking up.” And I hadn’t gotten there yet, so I wasn’t sure what he was talking about, but then I found out more and more.

Obviously, these books are the foundation of the show. But in this specific case, Rolin has decided to expand the Daniel story greatly, and there are all kinds of things going on that aren’t in the books. We really don’t know where this is all going. As a writer, it’s definitely fascinating to watch a great writer reinterpret another great writer. I think it’s been really exciting to watch how Rolin plays this 3D chess with Anne Rice, because her world is so imaginative and full of so many nooks and crannies and ideas — it’s almost too much. He has to figure out, as anybody who adapts does, how to make compromises. In some ways, this is not a compromise. This is an additional thing, especially with Daniel. In the books, Daniel sort of peters out, and right now we’re not doing that at all. We’re revving up.

More to come…
