AMC’s set a June 7, 2026 premiere date for The Vampire Lestat and released the second song, “All Fall Down,” from the upcoming season. Series composer Daniel Hart composed the new song, which Sam Reid performs as part of the opening title sequence.
Commenting on the new song, the Vampire Lestat stated, “‘All Fall Down’ is mercifully only 68 seconds long. That’s 54 seconds more Daniel Hart than anyone should suffer. I like the harmonies on the chorus. I did those.”
The series also welcomes back Jacob Anderson as Louis de Pointe du Lac, Assad Zaman as Armand, Eric Bogosian as Daniel, and Delainey Hayles as Claudia. Jennifer Ehle joins the cast as Gabriella, Lestat’s mother.
“In the upcoming rock and roll-centric season, the Vampire Lestat goes on an electric multi-city tour while being haunted by ‘muses’ from his wild and rebellious past,” reads AMC’s synopsis. “As his band’s popularity and star power rises, so does Lestat’s influence over vampires and humans alike, leaving others to contend with Lestat’s power in the face of the Great Conversion, an unnatural surge in the vampire population.”
Rolin Jones created the series, based on Anne Rice’s bestselling books, and serves as writer and showrunner. Executive producers include Jones, Mark Johnson, Hannah Moscovitch, Christopher Rice, and the late Anne Rice.
“’All Fall Down’ is both the title track for the new season and the idea for a song by the Vampire Lestat from early in the band’s life. Much like ‘Long face,’ it feels heavily influenced by Bowie, T. Rex, and other 70s rock’n’roll stars who were looking back to the blues as much as they were looking up to the stars for inspiration. ‘All Fall Down’ marks a time in this vampire band’s life when they were still figuring out exactly what their sound was, and before Lestat himself started to change personas and explore other musical styles,” explains Daniel Hart.
Hart continues, “At the same time, with ‘All Fall Down,’ we tried to capture the overall feeling of this new Lestat we get to know better and better throughout the season: more wild, more raw, more self-deprecatingly funny than ever before.”
