The Vampire Lestat release schedule: When is the next episode out on AMC?

The popular AMC series, Interview with the Vampire, is back this summer with a fresh take. This season, the show will be known as The Vampire Lestat and will center on the captivating and dangerous character played by Sam Reid.

Continuing the story established in Anne Rice’s books, this new season shifts focus after two seasons centered on the experiences of Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) and his complex relationships.

Anderson will have a smaller part in this story, as the focus shifts to Lestat, an immortal character who adopts a flamboyant glam rock style in the 1980s and captivates those around him.

It’s unclear if “The Vampire Lestat” will benefit from the recent surge in popularity of LGBTQ+ television, but many fans hope the show will finally receive the recognition it deserves.

So, I’m really hyped for the new season of what used to be ‘Interview with the Vampire’ – now it’s called ‘The Vampire Lestat’! If you’re as excited as I am, here’s everything you need to know about when and how you can watch it.

When is the next episode of The Vampire Lestat out on AMC?

The next episode of The Vampire Lestat will be released this Sunday on AMC (in the US).

New episodes of the show will be released every weekend, starting June 7th and continuing until the season finale in mid-July.
