Yeah, IMO, we are getting the 10 seasons AMC wants to do. I reserve the right to change my mind about that (in either direction, meaning more or less seasons), but right now, at this moment? 10-Seasons are a “go” IMO. And these are my reasons why:

First, AMC invested too much money for the rights to the Vampire Chronicles, Mayfair Witches, and everything associated with those books (The Talamasca), which they now hold in perpetuity, only to do five seasons of this show and then just call it quits. 

That would, in no way, be the type of return they are looking for on the investment they made in their purchasing of the rights. 

Next, only doing five seasons would barely cover adapting even half of the books. Because yes, I am still of the opinion that The Queen of the Damned adaptation is going to be split into two seasons, like Rolin has been contemplating and saying might be possible since day one. (And, at least to me, that might be two seasons of 10 episodes each, not 8 episodes each — but at the moment, that is me getting a feeling — after SDCC — that Season 3 is going to be 10 episodes instead of just 8 episodes, since they didn’t announce the episode count and are actually hiding it. But I digress.) 

Anyway, so if QotD is split into 2 seasons, well, there are, technically, your five seasons right there. And, at that point, you’ve only adapted three books and haven’t even fully done Tale of the Body Thief yet, which the show has clearly been setting up for starting with Season 2. Rolin even said in a post-Season 2 interview that they had already begun setting up for Tale of the Body Thief during Season 2. So yes, they are very much doing that book. Which, again, if they do end up splitting QotD, then TotBT would take the show up to Season 6.

And, as said by @nalyra-dreaming, Rolin has already hinted at Memnoch and the Prince Lestat Trilogy too, the latter of which has already had things being set up for it in the show since the start as well. 

And I mean, “This isn’t Game of Thrones”? Nonny, Game of Thrones only ended after 8 Seasons because D&D were tired of making the show. HBO wanted that show to go on for 10 Seasons (or more), but, because of D&Ds contract with HBO they had regarding the show, D&D calling it quits is what ended it. 

(And BTW, writer of the books, George R. R. Martin, knew things were going bad with the show after Season 5. [He walked away from it after Season 4.] And also says it could -- and should -- have run for at least 10 seasons.)

And yes, The Walking Dead -- which ran on AMC -- ran for 10 seasons. So AMC has very much done the 10 Seasons for one of their genre shows before this.

Because AMC is not in the same position that HBO was when it came to GOT. AMC are the ones who purchased the rights to the books, and they are the ones who hired Rolin Jones to oversee the show (after he pitched them his idea for it). 

With GOT, it was the opposite -- Martin made a deal with D&D regarding the rights, and then they pitched it to HBO.

Rolin, OTOH, could leave the show tomorrow — or AMC could fire him tomorrow — and then AMC could just bring on another showrunner, no problem. Unlike GOT, this show wouldn’t end just because the showrunner got tired of doing it.

But, given the recent re-up contract Rolin signed with AMC, as well as talking about how he sees the adaptation of the show going forward, I don't think that will be something that is going to happen.

So yeah. This show isn't ending with TotBT, IMO, nor is it only going to last for only five seasons either, IMO. I think what we are looking at, actually, is two five-season arcs (minimum).

The first five seasons (which we are watching right now) will be the story leading up to and about the events regarding Akasha IMO. And the second five seasons will be the story leading up to and being about the events with Amel IMO.

And, side note: it's also why Rolin has started to talk a bit about Memnoch, IMO. Because after I finally finished reading Realms of Atlantis (the day before the SDCC 25 panel, too), using Memnoch as a bridge into the Prince Lestat trilogy -- and the Amel story -- fits rather easily IMO.

So: Interview with the Vampire, The Vampire Lestat, The Queen of the Damned, The Tale of the Body Thief, Memnoch the Devil. And then the final trilogy, Prince Lestat, Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis, and Blood Communion.

That makes for a total of 8 books. And, originally, Rolin pitched AMC 8 seasons for the show.

Because remember, Interview with the Vampire was only split into two seasons because of COVID and the prices of lumber and stuff going up because of it. Otherwise, it was originally written as one season. (With the scripts being rewritten to split them into two only one month before shooting was set to start.)

So, if you assign one season to each book? It all fits Rolin's original pitch. And if you split QotD like IWTV was split? That gives you the 10 Seasons that AMC wants.

And yes, all the other books -- particually The Vampire Armand and Blood and Gold -- can just be interwoven throughout the show's run, since they are basically backstory books, and Armand and Marius' backstories can easily be done and shown without dedicating whole seasons to them.

But yeah, this isn't going to all end after just five seasons, IMO. Not if AMC (and probably Rolin too) has anything to say and do with it.

Rolin ever mentioned wanting to adapt TOTBT if I'm not mistaken, so I think it would be S3: TVL S4: QOTD S5: TOTBT with important elements from the other books????

I can't see the series going past 5 seasons, this isn't Game of Thrones

And yet Rolin is also on record of AMC wanting to do 10 seasons, having an 8-season plan, and has been talking about Memnoch and setting up parallels and ground work for the last trilogy already.

Believe what you will, but the ground work IS there, and AMC can only get money back on their investment if they produce content from their IP.

You do the math on that nonny :)

Here is also a nice post by @cbrownjc on it all.

my singular favourite costume detail in iwtv is something bailey bass points out on her youtube channel - claudia wears fake, clip on earrings. it’s such a small detail but it adds so much to her endless physical childhood that she’s mentally outgrown. she couldn’t change it even if she wanted to - the piercings would heal. also, clip-ons hurt. she’s trying to grow up so much it hurts. it’s such a small detail but it shows just how trapped claudia was in her body and in her childhood. she’s so desperate, especially in season one, for the outside to match the inside. she could never truly become herself, she would always be pretending. she is a shadow of what she would have grown into.
