Armand Comin’
What Interview With the Vampire’s last-minute Rashid reveal means for the new season.
The series takes an interrogative approach to its source material, framing Rice’s iconic goth novel and its 1994 film adaptation as the previous version of its story, one in which the vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac ( Jacob Anderson) lies and deceives his interviewer, Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian). In the novel, Armand is all in on his own ideology and supremacy, and we see some of that at the end of season one when he says of the sun, “What’s a mediocre star to a 514-year-old vampire?” Daniel’s poking and prodding at that will be fun to watch and a totally new experience for both book readers and show watchers. The scrapbook Armand throws in Daniel’s lap after revealing himself includes various ads for the Théâtre des Vampires, which hasn’t yet been mentioned on the show but is positioned as important to the story to come.
