AceShowbiz - Interview With the Vampire fans have a major update as AMC announces the premiere date for season 3, now titled The Vampire Lestat. The new season will debut on Sunday, June 7, 2026, continuing the story within Anne Rice's Immortal Universe.

The upcoming season centers on the "immortal rockstar" Lestat de Lioncourt, portrayed by Sam Reid. In this chapter, Lestat embraces his newfound fame after vampires are publicly revealed by author Daniel Molloy, played by Eric Bogosian. Molloy's book, which features interviews with Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson), sparks a cultural shift that allows Lestat to tour as a vampire rockstar.

The Vampire Lestat explores how Lestat's rising popularity amplifies his influence over both humans and vampires. The storyline includes the consequences of the "Great Conversion," an abnormal surge in the vampire population, challenging other characters to respond to Lestat’s growing power.

AMC has also released the new season’s opening credits, featuring an original song titled "All Fall Down." This track is composed by series composer Daniel Hart and performed by Sam Reid, adding a unique musical dimension to the series. Earlier, the show released the single "Long Face" on February 13, with a lyric video uploaded to YouTube in July 2024.

The cast of The Vampire Lestat includes Sam Reid, Jacob Anderson, Eric Bogosian, Assad Zaman, Delainey Hayles, and Jennifer Ehle. The series is executive produced by Mark Johnson, with Rolin Jones serving as creator, writer, and showrunner, alongside Hannah Moscovitch, Christopher Rice, and the late Anne Rice.

Fans of the Immortal Universe can look forward to an exciting new season that deepens the mythology of Anne Rice’s beloved characters, blending supernatural drama with a rockstar lifestyle. The June 7 premiere marks an eagerly awaited return to a world where vampire lore and modern fame collide.
