Fans Demand Emmy for Jacob Anderson in Interview with the Vampire

Fans of the gothic horror series, Interview with the Vampire, are expressing their disappointment over the show's absence from the Emmy Awards. The series, which premiered in October 2022, has gained significant popularity but was overlooked during last year's awards and again this year due to the timing of its second season's conclusion. This has left viewers feeling frustrated and eager for recognition in the upcoming awards season. Jacob Anderson, who plays the lead role of Louis de Pointe du Lac, has garnered particular attention from fans who believe his performance deserves an Emmy. The show, based on Anne Rice's novels, has expanded on the original story, attracting a passionate fanbase that actively campaigns for Anderson's recognition on social media. Fans have taken to platforms like X (formerly Twitter) to voice their support, with many declaring that they will not rest until Anderson receives an Emmy. They have even humorously awarded him imaginary Emmys in light of his snub. The enthusiasm for Anderson's performance highlights the strong connection viewers have with the character and the series as a whole. As the series is available for streaming on BBC iPlayer, new viewers are discovering the show and joining the call for Anderson's recognition. With the next Emmy Awards approaching in 2025, fans are hopeful that their efforts will lead to a well-deserved acknowledgment of Anderson's talent and the show's impact.
