If you ever seen queen of the damned we're basically at the start of that territory. Rockstar Lestat, and because of him and louie revealing themselves to the world all the other vampires are pissed.

Talamasca series premiered recently. It's in the same universe and Daniel from this show is on there and plays the same character.


Ppl saying it's not on the same level(writing wise) as Interview but maybe it scratches the itch til it comes back on

breh got pushed out of his own show?

Ehh, I guess you can look at it like that, but it's because they following the source material and Ann did it this way(has nothing to do with race) .

This following the books and from the posts it seems like this is part of the book that takes Lestat's pov on shyt and Louie will take a backseat.
The showrunner said breh/Louie will still play a significant role and will have expanded shyt to go on compared to the books.

'The Vampire Lestat' boss reveals Louis' 'heartbreaking' expanded role (exclusive)

'The Vampire Lestat' showrunner reveals what fans can expect from Louis' 'heartbreaking' expanded role in season 3, as well as the introduction of Lestat's mother. Plus, check out EW's exclusive first look at bloody Louis and more.

Showrunner on Louie's role:

Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) is, of course, the main character in The Vampire Lestat. Would you expect anything less from the Brat Prince? But don't worry, Interview With the Vampire fans — there's still going to be plenty of Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) in season 3 as well.


In fact, The Vampire Lestat showrunner Rolin Jones tells Entertainment Weekly that the series has actually expanded Louis' arc from what's in Anne Rice's second novel of the same name, simply because they wanted to give Anderson more to do onscreen. But be careful what you wish for, because Louis' new story is going to be "very, very heartbreaking."

Showrunner on changing the name of the show, following the books:

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Why did you change the name of the show from Interview With the Vampire to The Vampire Lestat?


ROLIN JONES: I don't think it's huge, to me. All we're doing is following Anne's lead. That book was called this, this book is called that. It really focuses in on what this season is about. Hopefully with more and more seasons, you're going to see it's all a collective, The more we follow Anne's pathway, and the more honorable we are being to the source material. What are we going to call it? Interview With the Vampire: The Vampire Lestat? You can't get that out. To me, [renaming the show] is a no brainer, but it's also probably bold. Nobody who watched the show, that really loved the show, is going to be confused about what the show is. I wanted to do it from the beginning, so I'm glad that marketing came around to it.

This series is based on the Vampire Chronicles book series
