Watch: AMC offers a sneak peek of 'The Vampire Lestat'
July 27 (UPI) -- AMC has released a sneak peek at Season 3 of its horror drama, Interview with the Vampire, which is subtitled The Vampire Lestat.
Starring Sam Reid as the titular immortal rock star, the show is slated to return in 2026.
"It's a wild ride," Reid said in the 2-minute preview video released on Saturday. "In Season 3, Lestat is living a rock star's life in its most hedonistic, authentic way. Right now, he wants to be completely engulfed in the music. It lights a fire in him."
The new season will focus on Lestat, but also will feature appearances by Interview veterans Jacob Anderson (Louis), Eric Borgosion (Daniel), Delainey Hayles (Claudia) and Assad Zaman (Armand).
Joining the cast next season are Jennifer Ehle, Christopher Heyerdahl and Damien Atkins.

When is Interview With the Vampire Season 3 releasing? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on July 28, 2025, 17:30 IST Last updated July 28, 2025, 11:03 IST If you're like most fans still recovering from the emotional chaos of Interview with the Vampire Season 2, you're probably wondering: when is Season 3 coming, and what's next? Well, good news—Season 3 is not only confirmed, but it's also getting a fresh new name and a completely different vibe. Here's everything we know so far. When Will Interview With the Vampire Season 3 Release? No exact date yet, but AMC has confirmed Interview With the Vampire Season 3 is aiming for a 2026 premiere. If we look at the show's track record—Season 1 kicked off in October 2022, and Season 2 landed in May 2024—it's likely we're looking at spring or summer 2026. Why the wait? Well, this show's all about those jaw-dropping sets, lush costumes, and a killer soundtrack, so they're taking their time to make it perfect. What Will Interview With the Vampire Season 3 Be About? Season 3 will dive into The Vampire Lestat , the second book in Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles . Unlike the first two seasons, which focused heavily on Louis de Pointe du Lac's perspective (played by Jacob Anderson), this season shifts the spotlight to Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid). AMC teases that Lestat, 'resentful of the perfunctory portrayal in the trashy bestseller Interview With the Vampire ,' will set his story straight by starting a band and going on a rockstar tour. This rockstar arc promises a bold, vibrant shift in tone. Lestat's tour will span 50 stops, with Season 3 picking up around stop 33. The season will explore Lestat's response to Louis' memoir, published by journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian), which has stirred controversy among vampires. Expect a 'sexy pilgrimage across space, time, and trauma' with 'no auto-tuning, no trigger warnings, all feels amplified,' according to AMC's official description. Key plot points include: Lestat's Rockstar Era : Lestat's transformation into a rockstar will feature original music by composer Daniel Hart, including the already-released single 'Long Face,' showcased in a teaser at San Diego Comic-Con 2024. New and Returning Characters : The season will introduce Lestat's mother Gabrielle, his maker Magnus, the ancient vampire Marius, and the enigmatic Those Who Must Be Kept (Akasha and Enkil, the first vampires). Returning characters include Louis, Armand (Assad Zaman), Daniel Molloy, Sam Barclay (Christopher Geary), Raglan James (Justin Kirk), Fareed (Gopal Divan), and Nicolas de Lenfent (Joseph Potter). Daniel's Vampire Journey : After being turned into a vampire by Armand in Season 2's shocking finale, Daniel's new undead life will be a focal point. Flashbacks and Lore: Expect deeper exploration of Lestat's past, including his relationships with Nicolas and Armand, as well as the origins of vampirism through characters like Marius and Those Who Must Be Kept. Interview With the Vampire Season 3 Cast The core cast is set to return, with some exciting new additions: Sam Reid as Lestat de Lioncourt Jacob Anderson as Louis de Pointe du Lac Assad Zaman as Armand Eric Bogosian as Daniel Molloy Christopher Geary as Sam Barclay Justin Kirk as Raglan James Gopal Divan as Fareed Joseph Potter as Nicolas de Lenfent New characters like Gabrielle, Magnus, Marius, and Those Who Must Be Kept are yet to be cast, but fans are buzzing with speculation about who will bring these iconic figures to life.

Anthony Anderson 'Regrets' If 2003 Lindsay Lohan Interview 'Intended as Comedy' Was in 'Poor Taste'
Anthony Anderson is apologizing for a 2003 interview with a then-17-year-old Lindsay Lohan that has resurfaced to backlash on social media in recent days. In the clip, when Anderson guest hosted The Sharon Osbourne Show, the comedian makes a number of comments that are being criticized on social media. In particular, after Lohan references that she's a minor by saying she's 'illegal, for people that are old,' Anderson says, 'Some men like them young. We ain't gonna mention no names, but I'm one of them.' He then laughs. More from The Hollywood Reporter Lindsay Lohan Wants to Do "Some More Serious, Dramatic Roles" After 'Freakier Friday' 'Parent Trap' Stars Lindsay Lohan, Lisa Ann Walter, Elaine Hendrix Reunite at 'Freakier Friday' Premiere 'Waiting for Britney Spears': Behind the Scenes of Her Infamous Summit With Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan In a statement obtained by People, a rep for Anderson says, 'This interview was clearly intended as comedy. He regrets if the humor was in poor taste and maintains the utmost respect for Lindsay. Any implication to the contrary is both inaccurate and potentially defamatory.' The comments about Lohan's age come after she talks about how she recently moved in with fellow Disney star and friend Raven-Symoné. He asks Lohan about their living situation and how they're adjusting as roommates, and gives her a pink satin pillow with his face on it, after she references her decor. He then asks: 'What gentlemen will be at the new pad with you and Raven-Symoné?' 'No one. I don't have a boyfriend,' Lohan says, before Anderson adds: 'She's single, but looking!' It's here that Lohan explains her age and Anderson replies with the 'like them young' remark, after which he laughs. Later, throwing to a commercial break, Anderson highlights that Freaky Friday is out on DVD that day, and jokes, 'right now, we're about to get our freak on' as he appears to give her a hug as she covers her mouth with her hand. Elsewhere in the interview, Anderson recalls how his kids enjoy watching her in Parent Trap and marvels that despite her 'sophistication' she's 'only 17.' They also talk about her learning to drive and growing up on Long Island and her then-upcoming movie Mean Girls as well as their respective awkward run-ins with Osbourne and Dyan Cannon, in Anderson's case. The interview has resurfaced as Lohan is promoting her Freaky Friday sequel, Freakier Friday, which sees the actress reunite with co-star Jamie Lee Curtis. Freakier Friday hits theaters on Aug. 8.
