Interview with the Vampire Season 3 Interview: Sam Reid, Jacob Anderson & More on The Vampire Lestat

In the world of Anne Rice's literature, the opportunities for adaptation are endless. The AMC series, Interview with the Vampire, based on Rice's most iconic work, featuring the characters Louis (Jacob Anderson) and Lestat (Sam Reid), pays homage to her novels while also changing the formula and re-inventing the narrative. With the upcoming third season, showrunner Rolin Jones is embracing the audacity of the Vampire world more than ever, as music will play as prominent a role as the acting and writing. Officially rebranded The Vampire Lestat, after Rice's novel, Season 3 promises hedonistic, rock 'n' roll debauchery as Lestat's aristocratic days give way to the devilish glitz and glamour of the 1980s. The show will also see the return of Reid's Louis, Delainey Hayles as Claudia, and Assad Zaman as Armand. Season 3 also introduces fans to new faces, including Jennifer Ehle (Lioness), Ella Ballentine (Black Conflux), and Christopher Heyerdahl (Under the Banner of Heaven). At San Diego Comic-Con 2025, Collider's Perri Nemiroff sat down with Jones, executive producer Mark Johnson, stars Reid, Anderson, and Eric Bogosian, who plays Daniel Molloy, and composer Daniel Hart to discuss Season 3, taking bold swings, writing the music before the script, and the most awkward and difficult everyday activities to perform on screen — notably, vampire activities. #interviewwiththevampire #samreid #annerice #amc #interview For interviews, movie reviews, and more visit https://collider.com FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL   / collider     / collider     / collider
