AMC Networks unveiled a sneak peek from The Vampire Lestat, the highly anticipated next chapter in Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe. Featuring stars Sam Reid and Jacob Anderson, the new scene, “The Book,” offers a glimpse at Lestat’s (Reid) reaction to the release of Daniel Molloy’s (Eric Bogosian) book, Interview with the Vampire.

In the new season, the Vampire Lestat transforms into an immortal rock god and goes on an electric multi-city tour while being haunted by the “muses” from his chaotic and rebellious past. As his band’s popularity and star power rises, so does Lestat’s influence over vampires and humans alike. And then there is the Great Conversion, an unnatural surge in the vampire population, looming over everything.   

In addition to Reid and Anderson, The Vampire Lestat stars Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian, Delainey Hayles and Jennifer Ehle and is executive produced by award-winning producer Mark Johnson, creator, writer and showrunner Rolin Jones, Hannah Moscovitch, along with Christopher Rice and the late Anne Rice.   

The scene comes hot on the heels of the recent debut of “Long Face,” Lestat’s first official rock single, and the new season is turning up the volume with a lineup of infectious new tracks set to roll out in the coming months. AMC Networks and Lakeshore Records released the single on the newly launched Vampire Lestat artist profile pages at major digital music services, including Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music. The song’s original music and lyrics, by series’ composer Daniel Hart and performed by Reid, will be featured in the series.  

The Vampire Lestat premieres in June on AMC and AMC+.
