"The bad boy of Interview with the Vampire takes center stage as a rock star in The Vampire Lestat."

Interview With the Vampire
AMC  Season Premiere  9/8c

SUNDAY: Driven by a monstrous ego as much as bloodlust, the charismatic Lestat de Lioncourt (a mesmerizing Sam Reid) commands the spotlight in the rebranded continuation of Anne Rice‘s “Vampire Chronicles” that began with the sensational Interview with the Vampire. Tackling the second novel, The Vampire Lestat finds the bad-boy bloodsucker reveling in fame as a debauched rock star as he reflects on his turbulent 265-year history when he’s not levitating atop mosh pits and draining eager groupies. Each episode features new songs by series composer Daniel Hart, but the show truly sings when it plumbs Rice’s erotic mythology, which includes Lestat’s incestuous bond with his undead mother, Gabriella (the terrific Jennifer Ehle). Along for the ride on the tour bus: Interview author Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian), now a vampire himself, filming a documentary about Lestat’s depraved life on the road.
