After two bloody, pulse-pounding seasons, AMC’s Interview with the Vampire is moving from Anne Rice’s first Vampire Chronicles novel to the second with The Vampire Lestat. And it’s going to be wild.
In this season, Lestat de Lioncourt takes a cue from his secret-spilling flame Louis, and shares the tale of his life, death, and undead times through song. Yeah, baby, Lestat goes full rock star. And this latest teaser from AMC has Sam Reid wallowing in Brat Prince behavior, smoking and lounging in velvet, while complaining about — of all things — a lamp and a fern.
“This is the kind of room that old people grab you by the hand and say, ‘Please do not let me die here,'” Lestat spits in this brief and bizarre teaser.
What does it mean? Well, this teaser also gives a glimpse of a frustrated Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian) behind a monitor. Clearly, he’s interviewing Lestat on camera, rather than just recording audio as he did with Louis. But don’t expect this Brat Prince to make it easy on him.
Is there a relevance to the lamp and fern though? I can’t pretend I care. I’d watch Reid in Lestat mode read the Wikipedia entry on the combustible engine. So, I’ll take whatever scraps AMC deigns to drop ahead of The Vampire Lestat‘s release.
When is The Vampire Lestat coming? The tease is real. All we know for now is 2026.
