Lestat goes glam rock and the supernatural gets bureaucratic in AMC’s growing gothic empire
Things got decidedly dark at San Diego Comic-Con as AMC dropped major updates on Anne Rice’s ever-expanding Immortal Universe.
First up: Interview with the Vampire is officially getting a Season 3 revamp – literally. Retitled The Vampire Lestat, the next chapter sees Sam Reid’s charismatic bloodsucker trade brooding mansions for the spotlight as a glam rock star, adapting Rice’s second book in the series.
The returning cast includes Jacob Anderson, Delainey Hayles, Assad Zaman, and Eric Bogosian, with a wave of new faces: Jennifer Ehle joins as Lestat’s mother Gabriella, Christopher Heyerdahl as the ancient Marius, and Ella Ballentine as cult favourite Baby Jenks.
But that’s not all – fans also got their first look at Talamasca: The Secret Order, a spinoff diving into the clandestine group that keeps tabs on vampires, witches, and other dark forces.
The series stars Nicholas Denton, Maisie Richardson-Sellers, William Fichtner, and Jason Schwartzman, along with Eric Bogosian reprising his role as Molloy.
Watch the new trailers now and get ready to re-enter Rice’s haunting world with The Vampire Lestat, and Talamasca: The Secret Order in 2026 via AMC.
