Rejoice, fellow coven members; there will be more Interview with the Vampire ahead of us. Yes, Interview with the Vampire has been renewed for season three at AMC. The hit Anne Rice series has had a smashing season two, full of twists and turns, so it’s no surprise AMC chose to renew the show. And yet, no renewal is ever certain. And so we celebrate that Interview with the Vampire, Louis, Lestat, and company will return for season three.
The show’s creator, Rolin Jones, recently shared that season three of Interview with the Vampire will tell the tale of The Vampire Lestat. The Vampire Lestat is definitely a beloved novel amongst Anne Rice fans, so we’ll be glad to see the story come to life on-screen now that Interview with the Vampire‘s renewal is official. Rock star Lestat? Sam Reid is going to crush rock star Lestat. We are ready.
A release shares of Interview with the Vampire‘s renewal, “In season three, resentful of the perfunctory portrayal in the trashy bestseller “Interview With The Vampire,” the Vampire Lestat sets his story straight in a way only the Vampire Lestat can—by starting a band and going on tour. Gabrielle. Nicholas. Magnus. Marius. Those Who Must Be Kept. They join Louis, Armand, Molloy, Sam, Raglan, Fareed and others we can’t tell you about yet on a sexy pilgrimage across space, time and trauma. No Auto-Tuning. No Trigger Warnings. All Feels Amplified.”
Once again. Ready. The release also drops the names of some major characters we can expect to see in Interview with the Vampire season 3 like, Gabrielle, Magnus, and Those Who Must Be Kept. We’ve already met Nicholas in season two, of course. We can’t wait for the casting announcements to start flowing in. Of course, all our favorite actors including Jacob Anderson, who plays Louis, Sam Reid who plays Lestat, Eric Bogosian who plays Daniel Molloy, Assad Zaman who plays Armand, and more are likely to return. Although Claudia has met a devastating fate in Interview with the Vampire season two, hopefully, Delainey Hayles could emerge in season three as a Claudia ghost so we don’t have to do without her entirely.
Showrunner Rolin Jones completes the Interview with the Vampire season three renewal announcement in a magnificent fashion, noting, “Thank you to the brilliant casts and crews of the first two seasons that got us to this day. Thank you to the rabid, beautifully unwell fandom that scaled the castle walls to get us to this day. Thank you to Dan McDermott, Ben Davis for the funds and tools to continue the great work of dramatizing Anne Rice’s extraordinary novels. And sincere apologies to the family and friends of actor Sam Reid, for the possession that continues to this day. Monsieur L extends his promise to return his body upon cancellation (may that evening never come.)”
