AMC’s acclaimed dark fantasy series Interview with the Vampire returns this summer with a substantial makeover, morphing into The Vampire Lestat<\/a> as it shifts focus to Sam Reid’s seductive menace.<\/p>\n

Following the trajectory of Anne Rice<\/a>‘s novels, this latest entry marks a substantial change after two seasons spent exploring events from the perspective of lover\/rival Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson).<\/p>\n

Expect a slightly reduced role for Anderson (although he does feature) as we take a wild trip into the warped mind of immortal Lestat, who embraces a glam rock persona in the 1980s that dazzles everyone around him.<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen whether The Vampire Lestat can capitalise on the heightened demand for queer TV post-Heated Rivalry<\/a>, but fans would surely love to see the show finally get the attention it has long-deserved.<\/p>\n

If you’re excited to tune in, read on for everything you need to know about The Vampire Lestat release schedule as the series (formerly known as Interview with the Vampire<\/a>) returns for season 3.<\/p>\n
