Showrunner Rolin Jones on Sam Reid’s performance in #TheVampireLestat: “You'll be hard-pressed to see any other actor on television have to do the number of things that he has to do. And do them so artfully. I will never have anybody like him again.” https://t.co/zDX8rdpUoP
Sam Reid recalls his first impression of Jacob Anderson:
“I thought, What a gracious person. I’d never had anybody call me before and ask me how I want to work. I mean, I started sending him selfies of myself, which is a kind of unprecedented thing for me to do.”

When Sam Reid read a certain scene in the new season of AMC’s ‘Interview With the Vampire,’ now renamed ‘The Vampire Lestat,’ he threw his laptop, took a walk around the building, came back in, finished reading the script, and had a 180-degree reaction, ultimately laughing at his prior irritation when he realized where the episode ended up. “There was a lot of panic everywhere from the first time the first pages started coming in. Everybody's like, ‘What is this? What the hell are you doing?’” series creator and showrunner Rolin Jones tells Vulture. “We really wrote from the id and the gut.”
In ‘The Vampire Lestat,’ Lestat de Lioncourt is now a contemporary rock star who writes songs about living openly undead after his ex-lover Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) exposed the existence of vampires to all of humanity in a best-selling book. Executive producer and writer Hannah Moscovitch says the season “more or less” adapts the entirety of Anne Rice’s same-named novel, with an ending that could, if need be, serve as a series finale.
Jones has “thoughts about a season four and a season five,” but the series hasn’t been renewed yet. Ultimately, though, the season-four question is one for the cast and whether they have it “in their bodies,” Jones says. “There’s contracts and corporate desires and things like that, but if it was just me and Hannah and the actors, I would go, ‘You got any gas left in the tank?’”
