After an extended wait, we finally have a release date for Interview With the Vampire Season 3. With the title shifting to The Vampire Lestat to celebrate the immortal drama king’s turn as a rockstar, the new season is set to premiere in June on both AMC and AMC+, with Sam Reid returning to rock our socks off as Lestat.
Alongside the release date news, AMC has also released the show’s new title sequence, featuring another song written by series composer Daniel Hart. “All Fall Down” is the second single from the series, accompanying a psychedelic series of images reminiscent of David Bowie, The Grateful Dead, and T. Rex.
“’All Fall Down’ is both the title track for the new season and the idea for a song by the Vampire Lestat from early in the band's life,” says Hart. “Much like ‘Long Face’, it feels heavily influenced by Bowie, T. Rex, and other 70s rock'n'roll stars who were looking back to the blues as much as they were looking up to the stars for inspiration.”
“‘All Fall Down’ marks a time in this vampire band's life when they were still figuring out exactly what their sound was, and before Lestat himself started to change personas and explore other musical styles. At the same time, with ‘All Fall Down’, we tried to capture the overall feeling of this new Lestat we get to know better and better throughout the season: more wild, more raw, more self-deprecatingly funny than ever before.”
The Vampire Lestat sees the return of not only Reid as Lestat, but fellow Interview stars Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian, and Delainey Hayles, as well as new addition Jennifer Ehle. The season’s synopsis is as follows:
Resentful of the perfunctory portrayal in the trashy bestseller “Interview with the Vampire,” the Vampire Lestat (Sam Reid) sets his story straight in a way only the Vampire Lestat can—by starting a band and going on tour. Gabriella. 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.
The Vampire Lestat premieres on June 7, and “All Fall Down” is available to stream wherever you get your music.
