Delainey Hayles as Claudia in Interview with the Vampire with a custom background including the book cover.
This article contains spoilers for The Vampire Chronicles books and the Interview with the Vampire TV show.
The show set the date of Louis' interview with this boy as"9/4/73," as per the label stuck on the cassette tape Daniel was playing in the opener of season 1. Therefore, Interview With the Vampire episode 1 opens in 2022. This amounts to a huge change, far beyond a superficial difference in dates. Freeing Louis and Daniel from the social and sexual shackles of the '70s, the show allows a contemporary exploration of the relationships in the novel and its sequels.
8 Seasons 1 And 2 Of The Show Are Set In Dubai The Book Is Set In San Francisco Close The book was set in San Francisco, where an unnamed boy was sitting down in a flat on Divisadero Street interviewing Louis de Pointe du Lac. This happened 49 years ago in the show, which opens in modern-day USA, with Daniel receiving a letter from Louis. This constitutes just a few minutes of the opening of season 1 before the show moves events to Dubai, which is where Louis invited Daniel in the letter.
Daniel Molloy and Louis interact far more in the show than they do in the book, and Daniel has more gravitas. He is older, wiser, and more than a match for Louis. In the show, Daniel is the connecting tissue between the modern-day and the period romance and horror of Louis' outlandish story. He brings the narrative and dialogue up to date, providing cutting-edge quips and wit.
In the show, the flashbacks impact the present day and the present day impacts the flashbacks, holding both Louis and Armand accountable for their past actions and for their dishonesty. Anne Rice's novel is classic Southern Gothic horror. In siphoning half of the story away from the flashback and into the present setting, the story retained its horror elements while becoming a real, contemporary drama able to compete with other prime-time TV.
In leaving the interview's publication and Armand and Louis' breakup till 2022, the show gives the characters 50 more years to mature before tackling these key events.
