Overview
- The series, retitled from Interview With the Vampire, released its full trailer Wednesday and confirmed a June 7 debut at 9 p.m. ET on AMC and AMC+.
- The new season follows Lestat as the world’s first immortal rock star on a multi-city tour, with rising fame tied to a looming “Great Conversion,” described as a surge in the vampire population.
- Footage shows Sam Reid performing to arena crowds and covering Billy Idol’s Dancing with Myself, with original songs Long Face and All Fall Down already out on major platforms from AMC Global Media and Lakeshore Records, written by composer Daniel Hart and sung by Reid.
- Sam Reid leads a cast that includes returning Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian, and Delainey Hayles, with Jennifer Ehle joining as Gabriella; Rolin Jones serves as showrunner and Mark Johnson executive produces alongside Christopher Rice with credit to the late Anne Rice.
- Early fan discussion is zeroing in on the trailer’s depiction of Lestat’s relationship with his mother Gabriella, which appears more intimate than previous screen takes and echoes charged themes from Anne Rice’s novels.
