AMC Slates The Vampire Lestat Debut

The Vampire Lestat, the third season of Interview with the Vampire, is slated to bow on June 7 on AMC and AMC+.

The rock ’n’ roll season sees the Vampire Lestat go on a multi-city tour while being haunted by “muses” from his wild and rebellious past. As his band’s popularity and star power rises, so does Lestat’s influence over vampires and humans alike.

Sam Reid reprises his role as Lestat. He is joined by Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian, Delainey Hayles and Jennifer Ehle.

The series is executive produced by producer Mark Johnson; creator, writer and showrunner Rolin Jones; and Hannah Moscovitch, along with Christopher Rice and the late Anne Rice.

The second official rock single from The Vampire Lestat, “All Fall Down,” has been released. The original music and lyrics are by series composer Daniel Hart and performed by Reid. The song follows the recent drop of the first official single, “Long Face.”

“‘All Fall Down’ is both the title track for the new season and the idea for a song by the Vampire Lestat from early in the band’s life,” Hart said. “Much like ‘Long Face,’ it feels heavily influenced by Bowie, T. Rex and other ’70s rock ’n’ roll stars who were looking back to the blues as much as they were looking up to the stars for inspiration. ‘All Fall Down’ marks a time in this vampire band’s life when they were still figuring out exactly what their sound was, and before Lestat himself started to change personas and explore other musical styles. At the same time, with ‘All Fall Down,’ we tried to capture the overall feeling of this new Lestat we get to know better and better throughout the season: more wild, more raw, more self-deprecatingly funny than ever before.”
