As heard in the new trailer, “The Vampire Lestat” features a cover of Billy Idol‘s “Dancing with Myself.” Playing below, the full song is now available on streaming services.
The track is performed by Sam Reid, who plays the immortal rockstar in the show, and produced by series composer Daniel Hart (The Green Knight, A Ghost Story).
Based on Anne Rice‘s The Vampire Chronicles book series, “The Vampire Lestat” is the rock and roll-centric third season of AMC’s “Interview with the Vampire” created by showrunner Rolin Jones.
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.
Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian, Delainey Hayles and Jennifer Ehle star with Reid.
Executive producers include Jones, Mark Johnson, Hannah Moscovitch, the late Anne Rice, and her son Christopher Rice.
The latest installment in AMC’s Anne Rice Immortal Universe, “The Vampire Lestat” will premiere June 7.
