Okay, Interview with the Vampire fans, let’s talk about Season 3 because the wait is killing us! AMC’s gothic gem, based on Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles, left us reeling after Season 2’s wild finale. So, what’s the deal with the next chapter? Here’s the latest on when it might drop, who’s coming back, and what we’re in for with Lestat and crew.
Interview with the Vampire Season 3 Potential Release Date
No exact date yet, but the buzz is pointing to 2026. They started filming in June 2025, hopping between Toronto, Paris, and Prague—fancy, right? Word is they’ll wrap by October. Season 2 took about seven months to polish up after filming, so we’re betting on a summer or fall 2026 premiere. Some folks were crossing their fingers for 2025, but with cameras just rolling now, that’s a long shot. AMC’s dropped hints about 2026, so keep your eyes peeled for updates as they finish shooting.
Interview with the Vampire Season 3 Expected Cast
Lestat de Lioncourt, played by the ridiculously talented Sam Reid, is stealing the show this time. After being more of a shadowy figure in Season 2, he’s ready to shine. Jacob Anderson’s back as Louis, and the showrunners say he’s still a big deal, even with Lestat hogging the spotlight. Here’s who else we’re seeing:
- Assad Zaman as Armand, who’s got some serious explaining to do.
- Eric Bogosian as Daniel Molloy, now rocking fangs after that Season 2 shocker.
- Christopher Geary as Sam Barclay, still hanging around.
- Justin Kirk as the sketchy Raglan James.
- Gopal Divan as Fareed.
- Joseph Potter as Nicolas, Lestat’s old love.
Interview with the Vampire Season 3 Potential Plot
This season’s dive into The Vampire Lestat, the second book in Rice’s series. Lestat’s pissed about how Louis made him look in that Interview with the Vampire book, so he’s telling his own story—by becoming a rockstar! Yup, he’s starting a band and hitting the road, complete with original tunes by Daniel Hart (go listen to “Long Face” if you haven’t). It’s got this fun, almost VH1 Behind the Music feel, with Lestat dishing dirt in an interview with Daniel.
We’ll dig into Lestat’s past—think tough childhood in France, getting turned by Magnus, and hanging with folks like Gabrielle, Nicolas, and Marius. Plus, we’re getting a peek at where vampires came from with Akasha and Enkil, which might tease The Queen of the Damned vibes. Daniel’s new vampire life is gonna be a trip, especially with Armand—fans are screaming for that “Devil’s Minion” storyline. Louis is still in the mix, probably dealing with the mess his book stirred up. It’s gonna be all the gothic, sexy, heartbreaking stuff we love.
