INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE Season 3 Begins Production in June

Ever since the amazing teaser from Comic-Con in San Diego last year, fans of AMC’s Interview with the Vampire have been waiting patiently for news of the show’s third season, and when it would begin filming. Well, we finally have an update, straight from the horse’s mouth. At ATX TV Festival, AMC Networks presented a panel called Vampires, Witches, and Other Secret Societies: Inside AMC’s Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe. During the presentation, executive producer Mark Johnson revealed that Interview with the Vampire season three would begin production this June in Toronto. This means season three won’t premiere until 2026.

Season three of Interview with the Vampire will be based on Anne Rice’s second vampire novel, The Vampire Lestat. According to AMC, season three will follow Sam Reid’s Vampire Lestat and his rock band as they go on tour. That’s where we expect Lestat to spill all his secrets. So far, it doesn’t seem like they will film in Europe as before. This is interesting, as much of Lestat’s backstory takes place in 18th-century France. Prague substituted for Paris in flashbacks to Lestat’s early years in season two. Will production return to Europe at all for season three, or will they try to recreate those locations on soundstage in Canada? We still don’t know.
