THE VAMPIRE LESTAT Rocks Out in Behind-the-Scenes Featurette and Images

AMC turned this year’s San Diego Comic-Con into part of its growing Anne Rice Immortal Universe. The network hosted a packed panel full of big teases and big surprises for its still growing supernatural franchise. But even amid all that news and announcements AMC still found time to rock out. A new behind-the-scenes featurette and series images for The Vampire Lestat shows how season three of Interview With the Vampire is taking its vamping vampire on tour in style.

Showrunner and executive Producer Rolin Jones, composer Daniel Hart, and Interview With the Vampire stars Sam Reid, Jacob Anderson, and Eric Bogosian joined panel host Damian Holbrook at this year’s premier pop culture event. They were on hand in San Diego to give viewers an inside look at the upcoming third season. The show is actually getting a title change for its next installment, as it will feature Reid’s Lestat de Lioncourt hitting the road.

How do you bring an undead musician on tour for a series of bloody good concerts? By going all out with your sets and production so it feels like he’s really performing for adoring crowds.

As fun as this video is, the two new images of Lestat performing on stage might even be better. Vampires have a long history of being stylish, but c’mon. Is this the coolest any vampire has ever looked? That’s probably not a question anyone can objectively answer. Only we’re saying, “Yes, definitely.”

The panel also included some big news about the show’s rocking third season. AMC announced the return of Delainey Hayles and Assad Zaman. The Vampire Lestat will also feature the debut of Jennifer Ehle (Lioness as Gabriella, Ella Ballentine (Black Conflux) as Baby Jenks, Jeanine Serralles (Apples Never Fall) as Christine Claire, Christopher Heyerdahl (Under the Banner of Heaven) as Marius, and Damien Atkins (Slings & Arrows) as Magnus.

Plus the show will feature all those adoring fans who can’t wait to rock out vampire style. If the concert, which launches in 2026, is anywhere near as good as this video and these images promise, viewers will be (un)dying to attend, too.
