If episode 1 felt like Lestat crashing the party with a full rock concert, episode 2 promises to keep the chaos rolling. AMC’s reimagined Interview with the Vampire, now rebranded as The Vampire Lestat for its third season, continues its weekly Sunday rollout with an episode that picks up right where the rockstar drama left off.
Episode 2, titled “Toledo,” premieres on Sunday, June 14, 2026. After a premiere that saw Lestat de Lioncourt reinvent himself as a public rock musician in response to Daniel Molloy’s tell-all book — and the dramatic return of his mother, Gabriella — fans are eager to see how this next chapter unfolds.

What’s the Story So Far?
Season 3 marks a bold creative shift, adapting Anne Rice’s novel The Vampire Lestat and putting its title character front and center. The premiere, “Detroit,” showed Lestat turning his anger over Louis’ published memoir into something theatrical — launching himself as a rock star, with his long-lost mother Gabriella unexpectedly resurfacing by episode’s end. Episode 2 is expected to build on these threads, expanding on Lestat’s band, his complicated relationships, and the fallout from Gabriella’s return.
Cast to Watch
Familiar faces return, including Jacob Anderson as Louis, Sam Reid as Lestat, Eric Bogosian as Daniel Molloy, and Assad Zaman as Armand. New additions this season include Jennifer Ehle as Gabriella and Sheila Atim as Akasha, alongside several new cast members joining Lestat’s band.

US viewers can catch “Toledo” live on AMC at 9 PM ET/PT, with an earlier AMC+ streaming window at 3 AM ET. The show airs on BBC America as well. New episodes continue weekly through the season finale on July 19, 2026.
