‘The Vampire Lestat’ Sets 2026 Premiere Window
AMC’s “The Vampire Lestat“, the third season in the “Interview with the Vampire“ series, is gearing up for a summer tour.
The third season of the Emmy-nominated drama will premiere in Summer 2026, TV Insider reports.
The synopsis reads, “Resentful of the perfunctory portrayal in the trashy bestseller Interview with the Vampire, the Vampire Lestat (Sam Reid) sets his story straight in a way only the Vampire Lestat can—by starting a band and going on tour. Gabriella. Nicholas. Magnus. Marius. Those Who Must Be Kept. They join Louis, Armand, Molloy, Sam, Raglan, Fareed, and others we can’t tell you about yet on a sexy pilgrimage across space, time, and trauma. No Auto-Tuning. No Trigger Warnings. All Feels Amplified.“
Sheila Atim (The Woman King) has been cast as Akasha in “The Vampire Lestat,“ the character played by Aaliyah in the 2002 movie Queen of the Damned.
Additionally, Noah Reid (Schitt’s Creek), Ryan Kattner (Destroy All Neighbors), Seamus Patterson (Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities), and Sarah Swire (The Boys) have joined the series for the third season, based on Anne Rice’s The Vampire Lestat novel.
Returning players Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian, Joseph Potter, Justin Kirk, Chris Geary, and Gopal Divan also star in season three.
Rolin Jones is the creator, writer, and showrunner of AMC’s vampire series.
Seasons one and two of “Interview with the Vampire“ are now streaming on AMC+ and Netflix.
It’s only a matter of time before AMC sinks its fangs into a premiere date, so stay tuned.
The official teaser trailer for “Crystal Lake” was just released this afternoon (watch it below), with Peacock bringing the Friday the 13th prequel series to life on October 15.
But will the series from A24 be a weekly release, you might be wondering?
Bloody Disgusting has learned tonight that ALL EIGHT EPISODES of “Crystal Lake” will release at the same time on October 15. Each episode has a runtime of 60 minutes.
The series follows single mother Pam Voorhees who has been unable to shake her grief after her young, sickly son Jason tragically drowned in the town lake almost a year before. When two strangers arrive at Pam’s door digging into her past, a disturbing chain of events is set into motion, leaving the townspeople of Crystal Lake wondering: just who is Pam Voorhees?
Linda Cardellini stars as Pamela Voorhees, a mother who gave up a singing career to raise her special needs child, only to take a dark turn when she loses her son — Jason.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Brad Caleb Kane (“IT: Welcome to Derry”) is the showrunner for the series.
The eight-episode series “Crystal Lake” is directed by Michael Lennox (“Derry Girls”), Celine Held & Logan George (Caddo Lake), and Quyen Tran (“The Pitt”).
