Sporting a new title, the story began in AMC’s Interview with the Vampire continues in The Vampire Lestat, and a rocking new clip from the next chapter in Anne Rice’s beloved Vampire Chronicles debuted at IGN Live this weekend.
The clip shows Lestat (Sam Reid) in his new guise as a genuine rock star, as his voice over provides an overview of his band’s status, backstory, and lineup, as the ever-confident vampire explains “Naturally, I named the band after myself,” along with the early goal “to induce what Gen Snooze called FOMO.”
The third season of the series is tackling material from Anne Rice’s second Vampire Chronicles book, The Vampire Lestat, hence the name change. This time out, Lestat goes on an electric multi-city tour while being haunted by “muses” from his wild and rebellious past. 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.
Also starring Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian, Delainey Hayles and Jennifer Ehle, The Vampire Lestat’s seven-episode season kicks off June 7 at 9:00pm ET/PT on AMC and AMC+.
