Interview with the Vampire season two ended with a huge bang in the summer of 2024. Louis and Lestat were reunited. Daniel became a vampire. Armand ran off to who knows where. And viewers were absolutely ravenous for more of the incredible series based on Anne Rice’s epic book series. Fans were hopeful that Interview with the Vampire might return to screens quickly, crossing their fingers for a 2025 release date. But alas, we’ll have to wait the now requisite two year window for more of our favorite blood suckers. Interview with the Vampire has set a release date window, and it’s pointing to 2026.
When Will Interview With the Vampire Season 3 Premiere?
Interview with the Vampire season three will premiere in 2026. AMC shared in a release on April 7, “Returning in 2026, season three of Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire will feature Vampire Lestat (Sam Reid) headlining as the most immortal rockstar the world has ever seen.” There is no official release date for Interview with the Vampire season three yet within the overall 2026 window.
Although we are sad Interview with the Vampire season three won’t return for such a long time, we do always love to be reminded that this season, Lestat will be a total rockstar.
What’s the Status of Interview with the Vampire Season 3’s Production?
Although the finished product won’t be around for a while, it sounds like AMC is already cooking up a long-term publicity run in the lead-up to the season. The network notes, “AMC Networks is bringing advertisers on tour with Lestat. Content Room is inviting partners to hit the road with Rockstar Lestat for a season three promotional tour including a variety of stops. This “Backstage Pass” offering will integrate advertisers across all touchpoints of the tour – from in-show, on-ground and through custom media campaigns. Kicking off later this year, opportunities include first look “soundchecks” of the new season, shoppable co-branded consumer products in a Rock Shop merch store, and in-world integrated content.”
Additionally, AMC adds that production of season three of Interview with the Vampire is ramping up now and continuing through the summer. Producer Mark Johnson also recently shared “The writers are busy working away, meaning Rolin has no time to himself right now. We are going to be shooting in Toronto, of all places, later in the year, not too far away. So much of this season all rests on this man’s shoulders.”
There you have it, writing on Interview with the Vampire is well on the way, and filming will happen in Toronto “later in the year.”
We Need Rockstar Lestat, Stat!
As mentioned, Rockstar Lestat will be heavily featured in season three of the series. The official synopsis for the season shares, “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.“
