Season three of AMC’s Interview with the Vampire dropped a new behind-the-scenes teaser, a couple of new photos, and a new title – The Vampire Lestat – during the San Diego Comic-Con. Fans attending the Ballroom 20 panel were also the first to learn about five new cast members who’ll be sinking their teeth into Anne Rice’s world.
Returning series stars include Sam Reid in the titular role, Jacob Anderson as Louis de Pointe du Lac, and Eric Bogosian as Daniel Molloy. The network also confirmed Delainey Hayles and Assad Zaman are reprising their roles as Claudia and Armand, respectively.
Newcomers for season three include Jennifer Ehle (Lioness) as Gabriella, Ella Ballentine (Black Conflux) as Baby Jenks, Jeanine Serralles (Apples Never Fall) as Christine Claire, Christopher Heyerdahl (Under the Banner of Heaven) as Marius, and Damien Atkins (Slings & Arrows) as Magnus.
“A luxury apartment covering an entire single floor of a high rise. Where the Vampire has granted the interview with the man he once judged to be unworthy. And where the journalist Daniel Molloy has hustled, for a second shot at the interview that got away from him 40 years earlier,” reads AMC’s synopsis. “Based on Anne Rice’s iconic novel, Interview with the Vampire follows Louis’ epic story of love, blood and the perils of immortality, as told to the journalist Daniel Molloy. Chafing at the limitations of life as a black man in 1900’s New Orleans, Louis finds it impossible to resist Lestat’s offer of the ultimate escape: joining him as his vampire companion.
But Louis’s intoxicating new powers come with a violent price, and the introduction of Lestat’s newest fledgling, the child vampire Claudia, soon sets them on a decades-long path of revenge and atonement. A sensuous, contemporary reinvention of Anne Rice’s revolutionary gothic novel.”
The Vampire Lestat, which is targeting a 2026 premiere, will feature four customized Player II Modified Stratocaster guitars (the “The LeStrat” collection). Filming began last month in Toronto, with Rolin Jones as writer and showrunner. Jones also executive produces along with Mark Johnson, Hannah Moscovitch, Christopher Rice, and the late Anne Rice.
