"Interview With the Vampire" Season 3 Gets a Release Window

"Interview with the Vampire" remains one of AMC’s most noteworthy shows of all time, not only among fans but also with critics. 

The vampire drama last aired on June 30, 2024, with its epic Season 2 finale that left fans immediately hungry for more episodes, fortunately, the wait for the new season will not be long as AMC just confirmed the release window for the next chapter while also dropping a thrilling production update via TV Insider.

"Interview with the Vampire" will return in 2026 with Season 3, which will see Lestat (Sam Reid) in his rockstar era going on tour. 

Production on the season is set to take place later this year in Canada, according to Reid and executive producer Mark Johnson’s statement during the Deadline Contenders FYC event.

Johnson said: “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.”

While no official premiere date has been set yet for Season 3 of the "Interview with the Vampire", fans still have an idea about what’s next for the ever-toxic Lestat, who “sets his story straight by starting a band and going on tour.” 

The installment will be an adaptation of Anne Rice’s second book in The Vampire Chronicles series, The Vampire Lestat and in it, Lestat turns himself into a rockstar to use his fame to respond to Louis’ interview with Molloy, which resulted in a hit book.

In addition to the premiere window, AMC unveiled their plans to bring a bit of Lestat’s highly anticipated tour to life ahead of Interview with the Vampire’s return. 

As the fan-favorite character embarks on the tour, the network will bring advertisers with him and invites partners to join in the fun via a statement that reads: “Content Room is inviting partners to hit the road with Rockstar Lestat for a Season 3 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.”

"Interview with the Vampire" was renewed for a third season in June 2024, with Reid and Jacob Anderson confirmed to reprise their roles as Lestat and Louis, respectively. 

Eric Bogosian and Assad Zaman are expected to return as Daniel Molloy and Armand.

The bingeworthy gothic horror resumes in 2026 with new episodes.
