News The Vampire Lestat Lestat Would Like a Word in the Trailer for The Vampire Lestat He is a golden god, goddammit By Molly Templeton | Published on April 22, 2026 Photo: AMC Comment 0 Share New Share Photo: AMC Lies, all lies. Or at least some lies. The vampire Lestat (Sam Reid) has some opinions about his story as told by Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) to Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian). He’s not exactly here to set the record straight. But he is certainly here, in the trailer for the series formerly known as Interview with the Vampire, to put his stamp on things. It’s The Vampire Lestat now. And Lestat is a rock god now. I remain uncertain about how he becomes a vampire rock god via music that is so toothless—in this case, a limp cover of Billy Idol’s “Dancing With Myself”—but perhaps they’re saving the good stuff for the actual show. This trailer for the upcoming season begins with a voiceover in which Daniel recites all (okay, some of) the things Lestat has already experienced. “You witnessed the French Revolution, the electric light, the atomic bomb,” he says. “Why music? Why now?” According to Lestat, he is doing a rewrite. The synopsis for this season says: In the upcoming rock and roll-centric season, the Vampire 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. A previous teaser for this show set Louis and Lestat at each other’s throats—figuratively speaking—across a conference room table. Another showed him having a lil’ meltdown in a bookstore. Every look we’ve had at this season is delicious. The Vampire Lestat also stars Assad Zaman, Delainey Hayles, and Jennifer Ehle. Rolin Jones is the creator, writer, and showrunner. The drama begins June 7 on AMC/AMC+.[end-mark] The post Lestat Would Like a Word in the Trailer for <i>The Vampire Lestat</i> appeared first on Reactor.
