At Comic-Con 2022 I attended the Interview with the Vampire panel for Vampyre Magazine. It featured the cast, writers, and producers. This new spin embraces Anne Rice’s source material. We got treated to a few-minute clip and the official season on the trailer. Here are the 5 most enticing things I took away. The Chemistry between Lestat (Sam Reid) and Louis (Jacob Anderson) we have been waiting for makes the show and is in all contexts a gay romance. Storyville District (1895-1917) is an intriguing setting to experience New Orleans that has not been explored before on the screen Lestat is a genius psychopath giving me rockstar Hannibal vibes. Lestat speaks French reflecting his past which adds depth to his character. Louis keeps his most important notable characteristic: his conflicted faith. Thank you and look forward to seeing and experiencing more from this new show! Eternally, Father Sebastiaan PS - maybe someday I will be finally able to make fangs for the Vampire Lestat! lol
