AMC Networks Feb. 26 unveiled a sneak peek from “The Vampire Lestat,” the next installment in the “Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe” franchise that premieres in June on AMC and AMC+.
The series picks up after the two seasons of the “Interview With the Vampire” series based on the first book of Rice’s “Vampire Chronicles” novel series.
In the new rock and roll centric season, Lestat goes on an electric multi-city tour while being haunted by “muses” from his wild and rebellious past. As his band’s popularity and star power rises, so does Lestat’s influence over vampires and humans alike, leaving others to contend with Lestat’s power in the face of the Great Conversion, an unnatural surge in the vampire population.
AMC’s preview scene, called “The Book,” features stars Sam Reid (Lestat) and Jacob Anderson (Louis) reacting to the release of the book Interview With the Vampire by Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian).
The cast also includes Assad Zaman, Bogosian, Delainey Hayles and Jennifer Ehle. Executive producers are showrunner Rolin Jones, Mark Johnson, Hannah Moscovitch, Christopher Rice and the late Anne Rice.
The teaser scene follows the release of “Long Face,” Lestat’s first official rock single by series composer Daniel Hart, performed by Reid. A lineup of new tracks is set to roll out in the coming months through the Vampire Lestat artist profile pages at major digital music services, including Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music.
