Sorry, we mean The Vampire Lestat — because AMC's first Anne Rice series is officially changing its title when it returns for season 3, based on Rice's second book of the same name. As Lestat takes center stage as a rock star, of course he takes over the show's title, too. Would you expect anything less from the Brat Prince?

Season three will shift to Lestat’s point of view, as Reid’s character becomes a rock star and tries to reclaim his story from the way Louis told it, inspired by Rice’s second novel in the series (also called The Vampire Lestat ).

"You’re going to get what you want, pretty quick," Reid says of rock star Lestat's music. Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) is ready to rock. You might even say he's ... H-O-T-T-O-G-O. Interview With the Vampire gets a major vibe shift in season 3 when the Brat Prince becomes a rock star to tell his side of the story after his less-than-stellar portrayal in Louis du Pointe de Lac (Jacob Anderson) and Daniel Molloy's (Eric Bogosian) book — as he does in Anne Rice's beloved second novel The Vampire Lestat.

The television universe adapted from Anne Rice's celebrated works is both growing and evolving, with acclaimed series Interview with the Vampire to take on a new name in its third entry.

Interview with the Vampire will return for Season 3, but as of July 2025, AMC has not officially released the official date.

When Interview With the Vampire returns for season 3 (premiering 2026), Lestat de Lioncourt ( Sam Reid) grabs the microphone to finally tell his side of the story. And it begins — as it does in Anne Rice's beloved second novel The Vampire Lestat — with his newfound fame as a rock star.

AMC has officially dropped the first-look teaser for its critically-acclaimed gothic drama Interview with the Vampire Season 3, titled The Vampire Lestat. While the last two seasons revolved around the journey of Louis (Jacob Anderson),

Interview With The Vampire season 3 has Lestat taking center stage, and now, Sam Reid is previewing the rocking vampire's tale.

Unlike previous seasons, the new installment will be narrated solely from Lestat's perspective and will introduce new cast members including Jennifer Ehle and Christopher Heyerdahl
