We Finally Have Our First Look at Rock Star Lestat in New ‘Interview With the Vampire’ Season 3 Teaser
Thirsty for more Interview With the Vampire now that season 2 is finally here? That’s understandable, mes chers! The addictive AMC series is back with more messy drama, vampire romance, and horror goodness. Here’s everything we know about Interview With the Vampire season 3.
Before we sink our teeth in, let me just say that this show could go on for many, many years. There’s no excuse! The series is based on Anne Rice’s beloved novel series about the vampire Lestat, Louis, and their various companions. The only hiccup I see is that vampires are immortal and IWTV stars Sam Reid, Jacob Anderson, and Assad Zaman are not. Eventually the actors may look too old. But did that stop Buffy the Vampire Slayer, True Blood, or even Twilight from doing it? Play on, I say!
I’ll bite: is Interview With the Vampire coming back for season 3?
It is! AMC announced the big news on June 26, 2024 with a press release confirming that it'll be back for a third season.

What would season 3 be about?
Well, like I said above there are enough of Rice’s books to keep this show going for a few more seasons. There are five books in The Vampire Chronicles, and the first two seasons of Interview With the Vampire have barely scratched the surface of book one. But that doesn't mean we're not gonna keep going. The show's third season will actually follow the second book, The Vampire Lestat, and is going to be straight up rock n' roll.
"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 hot pilgrimage across space, time and trauma. No Auto-Tuning. No Trigger Warnings. All Feels Amplified."
When would Interview With the Vampire season 3 come out?
The first season was released on AMC and AMC+ in October 2022, and here we are in May of 2024 with season 2. Having a two-year gap between seasons does annoyingly seem like the new normal for “prestige” shows, especially on HBO and Netflix, but AMC is not typically like that. So I think we should remember that the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes caused a slight pause in programming, we’re seeing the ramifications now, and it’s not likely to happen again. Barring disaster or another necessary delay, if Interview With the Vampire is renewed for a third season, it will most likely air at some point in 2025 and not in 2026.
