AMC series Interview with the Vampire resumes Prague shoot

The second season of AMC's Interview with the Vampire is set to resume production this week in Prague.

After a 10-week hiatus owing to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, the series is scheduled to start shooting after the network was granted a waiver from the union to continue filming in Europe. 

Per the Prague Reporter, the Prague production began in April before being paused in mid-July with about five weeks of shooting left on the schedule.

As well as filming Barrandov Studio, the series has shot around city centre landmarks including Prague Castle, Old Town Square, the Estates Theatre, and the Vyšehrad fortress.

The remainder of the Prague shoot, which is doubling for 1940s Paris, will continue through early November. Earlier location work for the show in Prague included the French capital’s iconic blue street signs. 

From early next week, Interview with the Vampire is set to film in central Prague’s tourist-trafficked Malá Strana neighborhood, by the steps leading up to Prague Castle (Zámecké schody). Portions of nearby Thunovská and Nerudová streets have been reserved for filming equipment from October 9 - 12, according to the local outlet. 

Interview with the Vampire moved production of its second season in Prague after shooting its first in New Orleans. The series’ second season stars Sam Reid, Jacob Anderson, Delainey Hayles, Eric Bogosian, and Assad Zaman, among others.

The series is an adaptation of the Anne Rice novel that spawned the 1994 gothic horror film of the same name starring Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Kirsten Dunst. 

The AMC series is one of two major vampire productions to shoot in Prague this year, following Robert Eggers‘ remake of Nosferatu, which wrapped production this spring.
