When one Anne Rice book closes, another opens.
At least that’s the case when it comes to the AMC and AMC+ series “Interview with the Vampire,” which is an adaptation of Rice’s iconic gothic horror story. The show returns for its third season starting today, June 7, with a new title, “Vampire Lestat,” which reflects the second book in Rice’s “Vampire Chronicles.”
After spending two seasons on the first novel in the series, Interview with the Vampire, Season 3 looks and sounds new. Set in modern times, it follows Lestat (Sam Reid) as he becomes the frontman of a rock band called Vampire Lestat.
The band embarks on Lestat’s sex-and-drug-fueled tour shortly after Daniel Molloy (Eric Boghossian) publishes his interview with Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson), an opportunity to publicly set records that spanned the first two seasons.
“The Vampire Lestat” features original music by Reed and series composer Daniel Hart, and follows Lestat’s growing fame as a rock star.
