When is Interview With the Vampire Season 3 releasing? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on July 28, 2025, 17:30 IST Last updated July 28, 2025, 11:03 IST If you're like most fans still recovering from the emotional chaos of Interview with the Vampire Season 2, you're probably wondering: when is Season 3 coming, and what's next? Well, good news—Season 3 is not only confirmed, but it's also getting a fresh new name and a completely different vibe. Here's everything we know so far. When Will Interview With the Vampire Season 3 Release? No exact date yet, but AMC has confirmed Interview With the Vampire Season 3 is aiming for a 2026 premiere. If we look at the show's track record—Season 1 kicked off in October 2022, and Season 2 landed in May 2024—it's likely we're looking at spring or summer 2026. Why the wait? Well, this show's all about those jaw-dropping sets, lush costumes, and a killer soundtrack, so they're taking their time to make it perfect. What Will Interview With the Vampire Season 3 Be About? Season 3 will dive into The Vampire Lestat , the second book in Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles . Unlike the first two seasons, which focused heavily on Louis de Pointe du Lac's perspective (played by Jacob Anderson), this season shifts the spotlight to Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid). AMC teases that Lestat, 'resentful of the perfunctory portrayal in the trashy bestseller Interview With the Vampire ,' will set his story straight by starting a band and going on a rockstar tour. This rockstar arc promises a bold, vibrant shift in tone. Lestat's tour will span 50 stops, with Season 3 picking up around stop 33. The season will explore Lestat's response to Louis' memoir, published by journalist Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian), which has stirred controversy among vampires. Expect a 'sexy pilgrimage across space, time, and trauma' with 'no auto-tuning, no trigger warnings, all feels amplified,' according to AMC's official description. Key plot points include: Lestat's Rockstar Era : Lestat's transformation into a rockstar will feature original music by composer Daniel Hart, including the already-released single 'Long Face,' showcased in a teaser at San Diego Comic-Con 2024. New and Returning Characters : The season will introduce Lestat's mother Gabrielle, his maker Magnus, the ancient vampire Marius, and the enigmatic Those Who Must Be Kept (Akasha and Enkil, the first vampires). Returning characters include Louis, Armand (Assad Zaman), Daniel Molloy, Sam Barclay (Christopher Geary), Raglan James (Justin Kirk), Fareed (Gopal Divan), and Nicolas de Lenfent (Joseph Potter). Daniel's Vampire Journey : After being turned into a vampire by Armand in Season 2's shocking finale, Daniel's new undead life will be a focal point. Flashbacks and Lore: Expect deeper exploration of Lestat's past, including his relationships with Nicolas and Armand, as well as the origins of vampirism through characters like Marius and Those Who Must Be Kept. Interview With the Vampire Season 3 Cast The core cast is set to return, with some exciting new additions: Sam Reid as Lestat de Lioncourt Jacob Anderson as Louis de Pointe du Lac Assad Zaman as Armand Eric Bogosian as Daniel Molloy Christopher Geary as Sam Barclay Justin Kirk as Raglan James Gopal Divan as Fareed Joseph Potter as Nicolas de Lenfent New characters like Gabrielle, Magnus, Marius, and Those Who Must Be Kept are yet to be cast, but fans are buzzing with speculation about who will bring these iconic figures to life.

Joseph Kosinski Teases Brad Pitt's F1 And Tom Cruise's Days Of Thunder Crossover
Last Updated: The director also mentioned that whether a sequel happens or not depends on the audience. Brad Pitt's F1: The Movie has made a powerful impact at the box office. Released theatrically on June 27, the sports drama directed by Joseph Kosinski has already grossed $153 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo. Riding on its early success, Apple and Warner Bros. are reportedly in discussions for a potential sequel. Adding to the buzz, the director has also hinted at an exciting crossover in the works. F1 ends on an open note, leaving space for more stories, either telling the backstory of the characters or taking forward from where the new movie left off. In an interview with GQ, Joseph mentioned that whether a sequel happens or not depends on the audience. However, he already has a big idea for the sequel: a crossover between F1's Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) and Days of Thunder's Cole Trickle (Tom Cruise). Sharing how he plans on making the sequel, the director said, 'Well, right now, it'd be Cole Trickle, who was (Cruise's) Days of Thunder character, we find out that he and (Brad Pitt's) Sonny Hayes have a past. They were rivals at some point, maybe crossed paths… I heard about this epic go-kart battle on Interview With the Vampire that Brad and Tom had, and who wouldn't pay to see those two go head-to-head on the track?" Joseph has previously worked with Tom Cruise on the action thriller Top Gun: Maverick, which became a blockbuster hit in 2022, and recently directed Brad in F1. So, a crossover might seem like a possibility, especially since both actors have also worked together. Meanwhile, a sequel to Days of Thunder is reportedly in early talks, with Tom admitting that conversations are happening. Whether the movie will connect to F1 or not remains unknown. But if that happens, moviegoers can expect an epic crossover. As for the sequel to F1, Joseph Kosinski shared that it can only happen if the audience wants it. He told the aforementioned outlet, 'I think we leave it on a really open-ended moment for Sonny, for Kate, and for Joshua. So yeah, I think there's certainly more to tell of the APXGP team, and where Sonny Hayes goes from here. But that's not my decision." Besides Brad Pitt, F1 The Movie also features Javier Bardem, Damson Idris, Tobias Menzeles and Kerry Condon in key supporting roles. The film revolves around Sonny Hayes (Pitt), a New York City-based Formula One driver who left racing following a horrible crash. Decades later, he returns to the high-stakes world of racing with only one wish to prove himself again. First Published: July 02, 2025, 13:26 IST

Joseph Kosinski Wants Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise to Reunite for a DAYS OF THUNDER and F1 Crossover — GeekTyrant
Director Joseph Kosinski has an idea that sounds so wild it just might work, and it involves reuniting Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise on the racetrack in an F1 sequel that also serves as a Days of Thunder crossover. In a recent interview with GQ Magazine UK, Kosinski opened up about the fantasy team-up, saying: 'Well, right now, it'd be Cole Trickle, who was [Cruise's] 'Days of Thunder' character, we find out that he and [Brad Pitt's] Sonny Hayes have a past. They were rivals at some point, maybe crossed paths… 'I heard about this epic go-kart battle on 'Interview With a Vampire' that Brad and Tom had, and who wouldn't pay to see those two go head-to-head on the track?' Kosinski, who previously directed Cruise in Top Gun: Maverick , has clearly been itching to put these two legends in the same cockpit again. He almost pulled it off years ago with a Ford v Ferrari -style racing film. 'Yeah, I got close with that. But yeah, you know, everything worked out for the best. I got to do 'F1.' But anything's possible.' The Cruise/Pitt dream team hasn't shared screen time since Interview With the Vampire in 1994, but their chemistry and real-life friendship have kept fans hoping for another collaboration. While at the London premiere of F1, when asked by E! News if he'd ever work with Cruise again, Pitt said: 'I'm not gonna hang my ass off airplanes and shit like that.' Still, the timing might be perfect. Cruise has been actively thinking about a return to Days of Thunder , previously saying that he's 'thinking and talking about what could we do and what's possible' for a follow-up to the 1990 NASCAR drama. Kosinski is already juggling massive-scale projects, including a Top Gun: Maverick sequel. While it's still in early development, he teased: 'I think we've found a way to do it, not only in the scale of what we're proposing, but the idea itself of the story we're telling. We're thinking much bigger than… It's a really existential crisis that Maverick has in this, and it's much bigger than himself. 'It's an existential question that Maverick has to deal with, that would make Maverick feel small, I think, as a movie, compared to what we're talking about. There's one last ride. So we're working on it now… we'll only do it if we feel like we've got a strong enough story.' If he can deliver that, why not emotional pit-stops and ego-fueled laps between Hayes and Trickle? At this point, Kosinski's crossover idea feels like a challenge waiting to be accepted. A Brad Pitt/Tom Cruise racing showdown? Fans would love it, but it all comes down to telling the right story.
