Fans of the critically acclaimed gothic horror series, Interview with the Vampire, are up in arms as the AMC show has been overlooked by the Emmy Awards.
The first season premiered in October 2022 but was notably absent from last year's awards lineup.
Due to the second season concluding after the May 31 cut-off point, it was once again snubbed at this year's Emmys, leaving fans devastated and hoping for recognition next year.
The series, based on Anne Rice's bestselling novels, features Jacob Anderson as Louis de Pointe du Lac, a New Orleans brothel owner turned vampire by Lestat de Lioncourt (played by Sam Reid).
In the present day, Louis invites aging journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian) to revisit their interview from nearly half a century ago about his time with Lestat and their surrogate vampire daughter Claudia (Bailey Bass and Delainey Hayles), reports the Express.
Originally adapted into a film starring Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, this version of Interview with the Vampire expands on author Anne's novels with some fresh twists for modern audiences.
The show has garnered a passionate fanbase over its two seasons, many of whom have taken to social media platform X (formerly Twitter ) to demand Jacob gets his due during the next awards season.
"I will not know peace until jacob anderson's name is carved on that emmy," one fan declared on X.
Fans are already handing out imaginary Emmys to Jacob Anderson, with one quipping: "Congratulations jacob anderson for winning every emmy tonight despite not being nominated!!!"
"Alright. see you all next year for jacob anderson lead actor in a drama emmy," another fan eagerly posted.
"It's Emmy's day I am reminding you all of the outrageous snub that is not giving Jacob Anderson every award for his performance in IWTV," lamented one viewer.
Another expressed their perennial frustration: "Personally i'm just always mad at the emmys cause of its usual snubs...cough cough jacob anderson you deserve the world."
Meanwhile, a new convert to the show raved: "I just finished iwtv s2. 10/10 amazing, spectacular, showstopping, incredible, never been done before, jaw dropping."
Although Jacob wasn't in the running for an Emmy this year, his fans are sure to kick up a storm if his stellar performance goes unnoticed come 2025.
For UK viewers late to the Jacob Anderson appreciation party, there's good news as the series is readily available.
The entire show is currently streaming on BBC iPlayer, with both seasons and all 15 episodes up for grabs.
Interview with the Vampire is available on AMC in the US and BBC iPlayer in the UK.
