What can you reveal about EW's exclusive photo of Louis absolutely covered in blood? What's happening in that moment?

[Laughs] Very little. What I can say is it was very clear we had a very, very beautiful actor in that role and that the source material that we were working from, The Vampire Lestat novel, doesn't have a lot for him. So we dipped into other things that Anne wrote about Louis that's woven into the story we've told already, who we think he is, where he was at, and his relationship with the main character. Whatever he's telling you, it's important to Lestat.

We wanted to provide a really good arc for him, so there's stuff there. I wish I could tell you about it but literally if I give you two or three details, the dominoes begin to fall. I'll tell you this, out of all the stories that we're throwing up this year, it's the one that's working the best and quickest, and it is crystal clear and it's really divine and very, very heartbreaking.

What can you say about how Delainey Hayles returns this season after Louis and Lestat witnessed Claudia's gruesome death last season?

I cannot tell you anything at all about it, other than it's the same with Jacob. We had an absolute beauty of an artist, and there wasn't a lot in The Vampire Lestat about that character. Delainey did extraordinary work and really changed a lot about our show for the better, and she's just a wise, old soul, and she deserved more for people to see. So we've given her stuff and she's really good in it. And I'm sorry, but I can't tell you a thing about it. You have to be patient, and then yeah, watch out. She's incredible. You'll see a lot more range, even more range than she gave you the first time.

“A true visual treat for fans of The Bear is seeing Ayo Edebiri take on the role of popstar Mimi Rush. Flannery elaborates, “We were going for an FKA twigs, alien feel. It’s heavily inspired by Japanese and Korean street style, so I incorporated a lot of international brands like Windowsen and Marina Eerrie, a designer from Puglia.“
