Hunter Ingram SPOILER ALERT: This post contains spoilers from “And That’s the End of It. There’s Nothing Else,” the Part II finale of “Interview With the Vampire,” now streaming on AMC+. “We held each other’s hands, and we just fucking jumped.” That’s how Jacob Anderson says he and Sam Reid prepared for the climactic reunion between Louis and Lestat in Season 2 finale of AMC’s “Interview With the Vampire.” “I feel really proud of that scene, but that’s honestly what it was like to shoot,” Anderson tells Variety.
“It was a nightmare, and then it felt like a bit of magic for one hour of that 14-hour day.” The scene is, quite literally, decades in the making for the estranged vampires, who have not spoken in the 77 years since Louis sentenced Lestat to his own personal hell –– to live forever knowing Louis is loving someone else. When they meet again, it’s in the middle of a hurricane in New Orleans, inside a dilapidated house that’s barely holding itself together against the raging winds outside.
A destitute Lestat isn’t doing much better inside, until Louis comes bearing the last thing he expected –– gratitude. What changed Louis’ mind? We will get there.
In lieu of a real hurricane, the production approximated the chaotic conditions on set, while Reid and Anderson delivered perhaps the most consequential heart to heart of the series so far, which is based on Anne Rice’s novels. It is also bound to have major implications for what’s ahead after AMC greenlit Season 3 this week.
“It’s weird to shoot a scene like that with guys holding leaf blowers that are going off in the background, and people are shaking the set,” Reid says, laughing. Anderson notes there was also a real blizzard happening just outside the set in

Jennifer Maas TV Business Writer Gamers can return to the “Cozy Grove” universe this week with the launch of sequel game, “Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit.” The new titled, which launched Tuesday, is a mobile-only game exclusive to Netflix, which acquired “Cozy Grove” developer Spry Fox as an in-house studio in October 2022, differentiating it from its predecessor, which was released on Apple Arcade, Nintendo Switch (arguably the most-chosen platform for the game’s players), Xbox, PlayStation and PC in 2021. But Spry Fox co-founder and studio director David Edery tells Variety that making the game for Netflix didn’t affect the title as much as fans of other platforms would first assume.
Variety TV critics Aramide Tinubu and Alison Herman have each selected 10 standout shows from the first half of 2024, running the gamut from a Guy Ritchie romp to a real-life drama set at a Renaissance fair.

Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief Maximum secrecy – including an omerta about the cast – was observed during the filming of “The Chronicles of Libidoists,” a Taiwanese film fable that is pitched as a modern-day retelling of “The Little Mermaid” fairy tale. A work-in-progress teaser in Cannes, however, disclosed that major Taiwan star Wu Kang-ren was the protagonist of the production which, now completed, seems certain to challenge censors worldwide. With the film poised for imminent commercial release in Taiwan and a series of autumn festival play dates being lined up, it is easy to see why the cloak of anonymity was required.
