What to expect from 'Interview with the Vampire' Season 3

By
Sam Reid as Lestat in

Ahead of Sunday's Season 2 finale, AMC renewed its TV adaptation of Interview with the Vampire for a third season. Cue cheers and fainting (not from blood loss)!

Seasons 1 and 2 of Interview, unsurprisingly, focused on the first novel in Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles series, Interview with the Vampire. What will Season 3 be about?

Interview with the Vampire Season 3

The next season will adapt the second book in Rice's vampire series, The Vampire Lestat. As you would expect, this novel focuses on the character Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid). We saw a hint of The Vampire Lestat in Season 2 during a flashback to Lestat's first meeting with the vampire Armand (Assad Zaman), and when Lestat mentions his former lover, Nicki. Season 3, however, will take an even bigger bite from Lestat's story. (The AMC show has also planted Easter eggs for other books in the series.)

This is a summary of what IWTV Season 3 will hold, as shared in AMC's press release:

Resentful of the perfunctory portrayal in the trashy best-seller Interview With the Vampire, the Vampire Lestat sets his story straight in a way only the Vampire Lestat can — by starting a band and going on tour. Gabrielle. Nicholas. Magnus. Marius. Those Who Must Be Kept. They join Louis, Armand, Molloy, Sam, Raglan, Fareed and others we can’t tell you about yet on a sexy pilgrimage across space, time and trauma. No Auto-Tuning. No Trigger Warnings. All Feels Amplified.

That's right: It's time for rock star Lestat. Other names in the announcement, like Lestat's mother Gabrielle, are getting fans excited.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Reid also shared his excitement over the growing cast of characters, saying, "For me, Gabrielle, Lestat's mother, is such an amazing character. I really can't wait to meet her and see what that character is like, and I also think the dynamic between Gabrielle, Louis and Lestat is really interesting, so I'm very keen to see how that unfolds."

On Lestat's music career, he told THR, "Because we have [composer] Daniel Hart helming the music of the show, I'm very excited to see whatever he creates, and to be working with him on that is astonishing." Hart is a frequent collaborator with filmmaker David Lowery, having composed music for Lowery's films since 2013's Ain't Them Bodies Saints, and he has also worked as a touring musician for bands such as St. Vincent and Broken Social Scene.

AMC hasn't released more details about the season, including when it'll air, but fans can read the 1985 novel The Vampire Lestat for a taste of what's coming. The modern-day portion of the series is set in 2020s Dubai, as journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian) interviews Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) and Armand for his exposé on vampires. Since The Vampire Lestat takes place post-publication of the titular interviews with vampires, fans are already speculating what a 2020s music career for Lestat will look like: Promoting music on TikTok? Brat prince summer?

Some AMC shows, including IWTV, will soon be available to stream on Netflix, though no release date has been announced. For now, Interview with the Vampire airs on AMC and AMC+.

Instagram accidentally reinstated Pornhub’s banned account

By
After years of on-and-off temporary suspensions, Instagram permanently banned Pornhub’s account in September. Then, for a short period of time this weekend, the account was reinstated. By Tuesday, it was permanently banned again. “This was done in error,” an Instagram spokesperson told TechCrunch. “As we’ve said previously, we permanently disabled this Instagram account for repeatedly violating our policies.” Instagram’s content guidelines prohibit  nudity and sexual solicitation . A Pornhub spokesperson told TechCrunch, though, that they believe the adult streaming platform’s account did not violate any guidelines. Instagram has not commented on the exact reasoning for the ban, or which policies the account violated. It’s worrying from a moderation perspective if a permanently banned Instagram account can accidentally get switched back on. Pornhub told TechCrunch that its account even received a notice from Instagram, stating that its ban had been a mistake (that message itself w

A scientist examines computer images of DNA models. Getty Images Police in Colorado have cracked the cold cases of four women killed 40 years ago. Denver PD said genetic genealogy and DNA analysis helped them identify the serial killer. He had died by suicide in jail in 1981. DNA from his exhumed body matched evidence from the murders. Police in Colorado have cracked the code on four murder cases that went unsolved for 40 years, using DNA from the killer's exhumed body. The cases pertain to four women killed in the Denver metro area between 1978 and 1981.
