Interview with the Vampire season three, also known as The Vampire Lestat, is slowly rising from the grave and making its way toward our screens. The third season of the beloved show recently began production, and only two weeks later, it made its way into the hallowed halls of San Diego Comic-Con. At SDCC, Interview with the Vampire season three had a panel to discuss the series’ upcoming new chapter, where it, to the surprise and delight of fans, shared an ICONIC teaser trailer. But some fans were starting to feel a little nervous as their favorite Interview with the Vampire vamp, Armand, didn’t appear in the teaser and was only occasionally mentioned in the panel (although actor Assad Zaman was confirmed to return as Armand during the conversation). But would Armand be in season three of Interview with the Vampire as much as his fans might hope? Some rumbling was heard throughout the land. Well, Nerdist heard this critical question and took it to showrunner Rolin Jones at the press conference for Interview with the Vampire season three/The Vampire Lestat, and here’s what Jones had to say.
In a word, yes. Yes, Armand will be in Interview with the Vampire season three. And this character is not about to be short-changed in any way. Fans just have to be a little patient as his storyline unfolds. We truly already felt this would be the case, but as big Armand fans, it’s certainly nice to hear. In full, Rolin Jones shared:
Give us a second to introduce a bunch of things that are going on. And then let him come in. Full Gremlin. You’ll be pleased.
Important context is that we shared that we were “Armand Apologists” before asking our question. So Rolin Jones is really saying that Armand fans will be pleased by his appearance in Interview with the Vampire season three/The Vampire Lestat. And we do, indeed, love to hear it. Jones also noted that he hoped Armand Apologists would multiply. So we’re taking that as a positive sign.
If that weren’t enough, Eric Bogosian, who plays Interview with the Vampire‘s Daniel Molloy, spilled the beans that his character and Assad Zaman’s Armand have ALREADY been filming together. And that means that Armand is not only in season three of Interview with the Vampire/The Vampire Lestat, but he’s IN the early episodes. Bogosian notes, “Armand and Daniel will be face to face again… We’ve already shot some of it, and it’s pretty intense.”
What do “full gremlin” and “intense” mean for Assad Zaman’s Armand in Interview with the Vampire season three? It’s really too soon to tell, but we absolutely feel excited to sit back, be patient, and find out. Full Gremlin, here we come.
