The network has released the a behind-the-scenes photo from Interview With the Vampire, confirming that production on Season 3 has officially started. The photo features a film slate, a microphone, and an electric guitar, teasing Lestat’s rockstar era as he goes on tour with his band.
Interview With the Vampire is written and executive produced by Emmy nominee Rolin Jones, who also serves as the showrunner. The next season is expected to cover Anne Rice’s The Vampire Lestat and The Queen of the Damned novels. Besides Reid, the series also stars Jacob Anderson as Louis de Pointe du Lac, Eric Bogosian as Daniel Molloy, and Assad Zaman as Armand. It is executive produced by Mark Johnson and Christopher Rice.
“In Season 3, 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,” reads the official synopsis for the new installment. “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.”
