First Teaser Trailer for Season 3 of AMC’s INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE Based on Anne Rice’s THE VAMPIRE LESTAT — GeekTyrant

The first teaser trailer for Season 3 of AMC’s Interview With the Vampire was released over the weekend at San Diego Comic-Con, and this season will focus on the second book in the series by Anne Rice, The Vampire Lestat. The teaser introduces fans to “Rockstar Lestat,” played by Sam Reid.

The synopsis for the season reads:

“Resentful of the perfunctory portrayal in the trashy bestseller ‘Interview With The Vampire,’ the Vampire Lestat sets his story straight in a way only the Vampire Lestat 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. No Auto-Tuning. No Trigger Warnings. All Feels Amplified.”

Could one of these “others” be the child vampire Claudia? The character met her end in last week’s penultimate episode, but Lestat actor Sam Reid seemingly hinted that her spirit could return to haunt her maker during an interview with THR, where he explained:

“Claudia is going to be the biggest mistake Lestat has ever made in his entire life — not the fact that she’s alive, but the fact that she died. The death of Claudia is going to be the thing that haunts him forever, and I wish that he did save her.

I’m not sure if he knew that he could, but the fact that he saw her look at him with a pure connection at the end — and the two of them did share a connection at multiple times in their lives.

I think he’ll never get that image [of Claudia dying] out of his head, and I think what it does is it also sets us up for a relationship with a haunting of Claudia and Lestat that is quite exciting.”

He continued:

“I think we’ve got the potential of not letting Claudia go, because Lestat has not gotten any closure there, and he has a lot to atone for. He has done some really terrible things, and I think a wonderful motivation for a character going forward is shame.”
