      In significant news from Saturday's Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe panel at San Diego Comic-Con, it was revealed that the third season of Interview with the Vampire will debut in 2026 under the new title The Vampire Lestat, adapting the second book of Rice’s series as Sam Reid’s Lestat embarks on a new journey as a rock star.

      Returning cast members include Reid, Jacob Anderson (Louis), Delainey Hayles (Claudia), Eric Bogosian (Molloy), and Assad Zaman (Armand). The Vampire Lestat will also introduce new cast members: Jennifer Ehle (Lioness) as Gabriella, Christopher Heyerdahl (Under the Banner of Heaven) as Marius, Damien Atkins (Slings & Arrows) as Magnus, Ella Ballentine (Black Conflux) as Baby Jenks, and Jeanine Serralles (Apples Never Fall) as Christine Claire.
