When is Interview With the Vampire Season 3 releasing? Everything we know so far
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

NAUTILUS 'Cold War' Sneak Peek Defies Pitt's Meet-Cute Plans
Things get frosty on Nautilus Season 1 Episode 7, 'Cold War,' when Humility Lucas (Georgia Flood) finds her fiancé, Algernon Pitt (Cameron Cuffe), with Captain Youngblood (Jacob Collins-Levy) in the Arctic. Considering how far she's gone to escape him and their engagement, Pitt's clearly a special kind of clueless. AMC/AMC+ summarizes the episode as: A game of chicken between the Dreadnought and Nautilus leaves them both stranded in the Arctic ice, leading to an uneasy truce. Nemo is reunited with a friend from his past and rocked by further revelations about his father. Image Credit: AMC/AMC+ Nautilus, 'Cold War' In the sneak peek at the episode below, Humility first greets Captain Youngblood with inordinate warmth in light of his dogged pursuit of her and the Nautilus. There's even humor and good-natured ribbing in their interaction. Standing in the blizzard conditions of the Arctic, she congratulates him on making it safely to Bombay. RELATED: TV Review: Nautilus Episode 6, 'Big Blue' Suddenly, there's Algernon Pitt, butting in and making flowery comments about her appearance. He has a script in mind for their relationship. None of it is rooted in the reality of her life goals or their complete lack of connection. It's physically painful to watch. She counters his compliments with pragmatism, his pleasantries with disinterest. Their chemistry measures at absolute zero. Image Credit: AMC/AMC+ He dismisses her concerns about freezing solid in the ice as dramatics. Instead, he insists that she tuck into the spread of food he's had prepared for her. Of course, Blaster (Kayden Price) and Loti (Céline Menville) are happy to oblige. However, Humility can't be deterred. RELATED: Read our Nautilus reviews Humility wastes no words or time trying to correct Pitt's priorities, but, unfortunately, Pitt's too deeply dug into his vision of their life together to understand. As she drags him to the ship's forge as the scene ends, we can only hope he figures things out before she shoves him in. Nautilus airs every Sunday on AMC and AMC+.
