Currently filming its third season here in Toronto, INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE quickly is seeing a surge in popularity after its second season. The Series, based on Anne Rice‘s THE VAMPIRE CHRONICLES and set in New Orleans, explores the tense relationship between two vampires, taking a much more in-depth look at race, abuse, and queer themes briefly touched upon in its popular 1994 film adaptation, which starred Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise.
We are so lucky to have spotted one of the Series’ stars Sam Reid, who plays Lestat de Lioncourt, back from an appearance in San Diego at Comic-Con 2025. The Australian star, known for his work in WAITING FOR THE BARBARIANS, BELLE, PRIME SUSPECT 1973, and more, sees his character front and center this upcoming third season, exploring his musicality. The season will actually be titled THE VAMPIRE LESTAT. The Series currently is on a filming break, but continues into October.
Here’s an exclusive featurette about Reid stepping-up to the musical challenges of playing Lestat:
Reid was absolutely lovely, low-key, stopping for a quick snap before heading on his way.
