Season three will shift to Lestat’s point of view, as Reid’s character becomes a rock star and tries to reclaim his story from the way Louis told it, inspired by Rice’s second novel in the series (also called The Vampire Lestat ).

The crew behind “Interview Wth the Vampire,” including cast members Reid, Bogosian and Jacob Anderson, plus executive producer Mark Johnson and showrunner/executive producer Rolin Jones, stopped by the Comic-Con Variety Studio presented by Google TV to tease more details of the season.

Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire is getting a new name and some new cast members as it enters its third season. The AMC drama series will be known as The Vampire Lestat for season three as it focuses on the second book in her Vampire Chronicles series.
