About

Season 3 of AMC's Interview with the Vampire was officially retitled The Vampire Lestat in July 2025, honoring the Anne Rice novel it adapts. Sam Reid stars as Lestat de Lioncourt, now a rockstar granting an exclusive interview about his centuries-long existence. Filming took place in Toronto from June through October 2025, though the story remains deeply rooted in New Orleans. Jennifer Ehle and Damien Atkins join as Gabriella (Lestat's mother) and Magnus. The season explores Lestat's life before meeting Louis in 18th-century New Orleans, including his origins in rural France. New Orleans fans can visit the French Quarter locations featured in earlier seasons, particularly around Royal Street and Jackson Square, which are central to the show's atmospheric Southern Gothic aesthetic.
