In Season 3, the Vampire Lestat sets his story straight in a way only he can — by starting a band and going on tour. Gabrielle. 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.

The series also currently stars Assad Zaman, Delainey Hayles and Ben Daniels.

“Thank you to the brilliant casts and crews of the first two seasons that got us to this day,” shared creator, writer and showrunner Rolin Jones. “Thank you to the rabid, beautifully unwell fandom that scaled the castle walls to get us to this day. Thank you to Dan McDermott, Ben Davis for the funds and tools to continue the great work of dramatizing Anne Rice’s extraordinary novels. And sincere apologies to the family and friends of actor Sam Reid, for the possession that continues to this day. Monsieur L extends his promise to return his body upon cancellation (may that evening never come).”

The series is executive produced by Mark Johnson — who oversees AMC’s Anne Rice Immortal Universe — Jones, Mark Taylor, along with Christopher Rice and the late Anne Rice.
