IWTV S1 & S2 | TVL S3 | The Vampire Chronicles | 21+ only
Decided to continue my list of IWTV/TVL cast & team interviews for 2025.

Can anyone help with October? 🙏
Trying to compile all the NYCC interviews. Press conference is good, but no panels recaps. (And not that unofficial video yet)

Only have 8 so far — what have I missed?

One more thing—the fact that Assad and Jennifer flew in like an hour beforehand, Rolin couldn’t even leave the set, the noticeable exhaustion from all involved—they moved mountains to make this panel happen. That’s just dedication & love & pure excitement to SHARE this story 💙

Coming out of hibernation to say—

Yes. 1000x yes. I’m so glad they actually released the teaser. So happy for this season. Everything seems incredible. I’m so, so here for the mayhem, the darkness, the humor and the fucked up, screaming, unyielding insanity of it all 💙💙💙

So the TVL panel is finally up on Prime (with the AMC+ subscription)… but I still don’t see on the AMC+ app 🤷‍♀️

And the thumbnail image is the from Talamasca panel 🤦‍♀️😆🙃

International markets for IWTV/TVL on Netflix! 💙

“This renewal also brings some of our franchise titles, including forthcoming seasons, to Netflix subscribers in *select international* markets.”

Not sure what the select int’l markets are for Netflix—but it’s great news!
September 11, 2025 at 8:38 PM
It looks like they finally added the Talamasca panel from SDCC to the actual AMC+ app, not just Prime or Apple TV. But still no sign of the TVL panel 🤷‍♀️

I never knew the story here! I always wondered why the QotD comic was never released as a full compilation (I have that version of the TVL comic that I found 20 years ago!)…I’d love if some company licensed this & re-released the full comic in print!💙🤞(nerdist.com/article/lost...)

This was interesting but mostly sad.

I think there’s a small number of people in this fandom who’ve taken it way too far but are very loud. The recurring theme I’ve seen is these are people who’re obsessed w/ being “right”, no matter how they talk to people or what harm they do.
September 8, 2025 at 7:23 PM
There’s some odd editing in this… parts removed that aren’t the trailers or clips…and from what I remember, I don’t think it’s like loud crowd moments edited out. Maybe it’s more tangents or spoilers edited out instead?
Watching the Talamasca panel on AMC+ on Prime (TVL panel is still not up 🤷‍♀️🙃) — and I like this title graphic design. I didn’t notice it on the trailer they released earlier this week, I think it was darker so the background wasn’t as clear.

I’ve been travelling this week, so I’ve missed everything that’s been going on!!

But what happened with the SDCC panel for TVL?! Why did they only release Daryl Dixon and Talamasca?? 🤷‍♀️
September 5, 2025 at 6:41 PM
Think there were only 4 interviews with IWTV/TVL cast or team in August — compared with the 24 interviews last month!😆

But I’ve been very MIA and scattered this month, so please let me know if I’ve missed something!

Some data on IWTV’s Netflix run…

IWTV S1 had a total of 16.9 million hours viewed from Aug 2024 — June 2025.

Seems great objectively! But unfortunately, it was one of the least viewed AMC shows in this 2024 deal 🙁

MW saw 35.8 million hours viewed in the same time frame…

This was great to see today! Love this internship program with the Indigenous Film Academy on IWTV TVL S3. I hope they do more internships & collaborations!

I’ve been incredibly busy these past couple weeks & haven’t had much time for IWTV/TVL digging… and from what I’ve seen in haphazard glances on twt, I haven’t missed much 😆 (Beyond Eric’s crazy IG post — again, somehow he’s consistently the most online of IWTV cast/crew 🤣)

New to me— BTS video from IWTV S2, using 3D models for the motorcycle explosion scene 👀
August 24, 2025 at 4:35 PM
The Netflix news for IWTV S2 is *fantastic*. I’m so glad AMC has extended the partnership and added S2. It will only mean more & more exposure for the show 📈

Now — for vanity metrics sake — could it finally crack the Netflix Top 10?? 🤞💙
August 21, 2025 at 12:50 AM
So looks like those S3 set photos were actual paparazzi 👀 From an outlet called “The Image Direct”… which it looks like the Daily Mail has now bought… Well, that’s a good sign the show has is now big enough to be on paps’ radar! But I’m not linking to the Daily Mail 😆

Story/Ramble 🧵—Back in the 00s, when I was at the height of my TVC obsession, I would always tell my friends to start with TVL novel. Then read QoTD. Then come back to IWTV. Then TotBT onwards.

I didn’t like IWTV the novel as a story. The overwhelming grief and depression was—

IWTV/TVL is the only show where I don’t care about “spoilers”, because for me there’s nothing to spoil. There’s just some detail & timelines changes. Like Rolin Jones didn’t walk around SDCC with his tattered TVL to be like—Surprise! They all die! 😆 The general story is the same

Cerified Fresh from Rotten Tomatoes 💙

“…The cast of Interview with the Vampire entering Ballroom 20 to deafening applause…” — from the AMC quarterly earnings call yesterday.

AMC needs to do maximum promotion for S3!! There is clearly an audience for it…
August 9, 2025 at 7:19 PM
The IWTV panel from SDCC will be released on Sept 4 on AMC.
August 9, 2025 at 3:47 PM
So apparently this is new‼️

IWTV S2 now has a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes!! 🎉💙

And the show overall is up to 99%!! 🥳

BTS images of IWTV S2 that I don’t think I’ve seen — of the massive LED screens they used for the motorcycle scenes.
