Is Interview with the Vampire Season 3 Happening?
AMC has said yes to Interview with the Vampire Season 3. This was announced before the finale of the second season dropped. There is a hint of confidence from the studio as the show has been receiving a lot of love and has a strong viewership.
We can expect it to pick from where the second season ends. The official logline suggests that Vampire Lestat will be starting a band and will be also touring.

The makers have also hinted that Interview with the Vampire Season 3 will also have Lestat meeting her mother Gabrielle. Sam Reid has revealed that the demise of Claudia will be affecting Lestat and it will be evident in the upcoming season. There are many other things as well in the store.
