Interview With The Vampire Season 3 Confirms New And Returning Cast — Watch Lestat Rock Out In New Trailer

The third season of Interview With the Vampire is going to rock.

During the show's panel at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday, AMC released some juicy new details — not to mention an enticing first look — at Season 3, which is being referred to as "The Vampire Lestat" (aka the second book in Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles series).

Here's the first big reveal, which may not come as a huge surprise to book readers: It was confirmed that Delainey Hayles, last seen meeting her demise in the penultimate episode of Season 2, will be back Season 3, alongside Sam Reid as Lestat, Jacob Anderson as Louis, Assad Zaman as Armand and Eric Bogosian as Daniel.

We also learned that several new characters will join Lestat's orbit in Season 3: Jennifer Ehle (Lioness) as Gabriella, Ella Ballentine (Black Conflux) as Baby Jenks, Jeanine Serralles (Apples Never Fall) as Christine Claire, Christopher Heyerdahl (Under the Banner of Heaven) as Marius and Damien Atkins (Slings & Arrows) as Magnus.
