Welcome to the Lestat Show!

So, we’ve all been vibing with the wild ride that is Interview with the Vampire, right? The first two seasons laid out the drama between Lestat de Lioncourt, played by the dashing Sam Reid, and the broody Louis de Pointe du Lac, brought to life by the fabulous Jacob Anderson. But guess what? Season three flips the script and shows us the world through the colorful lens of Lestat himself! Yes, you heard that right!

New Perspectives, New Shenanigans

Now we get a front-row seat to Lestat’s take on this tumultuous relationship, especially after that epic reconciliation. With the release of Daniel Molloy’s bestseller about their oh-so-chaotic romance, we dive into how Lestat and his undead pals view Louis. Anderson spills the tea, saying, “It’s something I’m very mindful of.” And he’s not alone; everyone in the cast has to carefully navigate through this moody, subjective universe, making it a joyride for the actors.

Lestat’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Adventure

Season three kicks off with our favorite vampire rock star, Lestat, trying his best to blend into a world that isn’t ready to embrace the fact that vampires are strutting around. Thanks to Molloy’s interview, there’s a little hint of truth seeping through the cracks in society. Lestat and Louis seem to be on friendlier terms after their dramatic split, but Lestat has some serious beef with how Louis portrayed him in that book. Cue the furious scribbles in the margins!

Let’s Get This Party Started!

Instead of sulking in the dark like a typical vampire, Lestat decides to go all out by joining a rock band! Yes, you heard it, Lestat is ready to rock the stage and throw his undead ego into the limelight. This bold move shakes things up in the usually hush-hush vampire community. And hey, he keeps in touch with Louis, who’s surprisingly a lot more light-hearted this time around. Their banter is like a cheeky sitcom episode, with Louis hinting at Lestat’s questionable songwriting skills!

A New Side of Louis

Anderson shares a fun observation: “Louis speaks slightly differently this season.” Lestat sees Louis in a new light, showering him with a little more love and less of that classic moody vibe we’re used to. Rather than being the ultimate sad boy, Louis gets his essence back, revealing a fiercer, sassier side, which Reid hilariously dubs the “bitchier side” of Louis. Talk about character development!

What’s Next?

Even though our two leading gents don’t share the screen as much in the first half of The Vampire Lestat, there’s a lot of anticipation brewing for what’s to come. With the theme of healing through shared grief over Claudia’s loss, and the introduction of Sheila Atim as Akasha from Queen of the Damned, you do not want to miss out!

Keep the Vampire Fun Going!

So set your reminders, folks! New episodes of The Vampire Lestat drop every Sunday on AMC. Let the undead shenanigans continue!
