The Immortal Universe Crossover Can Still Happen (Despite Their Book Endgames) Lestat & Rowan
A possible crossover between Interview with the Vampire and Mayfair Witches is developing that would draw questions among those not familiar with Anne Rice's creations. Though the books eventually pair Lestat and Rowan, the episodes show them in separate relationships. Still, both shows are rather early in their adaptations, which allows for a romantic turn-about. Felix from Interview with the Vampire's appearance suggested this possibility in the second Mayfair Witches teaser.
Lestat is polyamorous hence Rowan may be a fling.
Though Rowan interacts with Ciprien in Mayfair Witches and Lestat's turbulent relationship with Louis in Interview with the Vampire, Anne Rice's characters deviate from rigid monogamous rules. A quick meeting between Lestat and Rowan may be an exciting, one-off occasion that would inspire investigation of the complexity of their particular relationships. Rowan's actress Alexandra Daddario expressed her excitement at the possible crossover, suggesting but not verifying any specific ideas.
Rowan No Match for Lestat in Eternal Universe
The possible crossover begs serious questions: although Mayfair Witches has earned more mixed reviews, Interview with the Vampire has gotten critical praise. Though fun, Mayfair Witches hasn't had the same influence as its predecessor. This discrepancy could make it difficult for Rowan to fit very naturally into Lestat's environment. Moreover, the way Rowan is portrayed in the program differs from the novel character; it presents a more traditional and sanitized one. Conversely, the extreme elements of its source material were effectively enhanced in an interview with the vampire. This discrepancy emphasizes how crucial it is for Mayfair Witches to use vampire interview techniques to improve its narrative and character development. If Mayfair Witches more closely conforms itself to the boldness of Interview with the Vampire, ensuring that Lestat and Rowan's paths cross without sacrificing the integrity of their separate stories, then a possible crossover could work.
