The Vampire Lestat band is officially coming to streaming services. AMC is leaning into the rockstar theme of Interview With the Vampire‘s third season by creating an artist profile for Lestat’s (Sam Reid) band on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube — and, after fans repeatedly asked for two years, “Long Face” is being released as a single. Interview With the Vampire is being renamed The Vampire Lestat for Season 3. It comes out this summer.

“Long Face” was first debuted in the rockstar Lestat teaser released during San Diego Comic-Con 2024, but only part of the song was featured in the video. The full song was released on YouTube the following day. Fans have long wanted the song to be on streaming services. (Here, Reid explains the creation of the SDCC 2024 teaser with TV Insider.)

On the morning of February 12, the show teased that something was coming out on Friday, February 13, if fans were “lucky.” A few hours later, artist profiles for The Vampire Lestat popped up on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube, and the profiles featured three new photos of Reid as the titular rockstar.

“Since you’re sooooo thirsty for it. Here’s Long Face, my beautiful unwell,” the Spotify profile says. It also notes that the song will be released on February 13. It doesn’t specify when, but fans on X/Twitter say that it’s already available to stream in their time zones, so midnight on February 13 is likely. TV Insider has reached out to AMC for more information.

Here’s the description for The Vampire Lestat: “In Season 3, resentful of the perfunctory portrayal in the trashy bestseller Interview With the Vampire, the Vampire Lestat sets his story straight in a way only the Vampire Lestat can — by starting a band and going on tour. Gabrielle. Nicholas. Magnus. Marius. Those Who Must Be Kept. They join Louis, Armand, Molloy, Sam, Raglan, Fareed, and others we can’t tell you about yet on a sexy pilgrimage across space, time, and trauma. No Auto-Tuning. No Trigger Warnings. All Feels Amplified.”

'The Vampire Lestat' Teaser: Lestat Picks a Groupie to Drain (VIDEO)

TV Insider previously debuted a Vampire Lestat teaser in January, in which Lestat is backstage at one of his concerts and picking a groupie to drain with the help of Dee Pharma (Amaka Umeh).

Series creator Rolin Jones told us that Dee is part of Lestat’s entourage.

“Depending on who you ask, she’s either his social media coordinator or his pharmaceutically enhanced blood source,” he said.

In addition to going on tour, Lestat is making a documentary with Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian) in Season 3. Why did he agree to an interview with the fledgling vampire if he hates his book with Louis (Jacob Anderson) so much?

“Lestat didn’t like his perfunctory portrayal in Molloy’s book. Who better to refute that portrayal than the author himself?” Jones told us. “Think of the documentary as Lestat orchestrating a ‘rewrite.’”

Fans on X/Twitter are thrilled by the musical update. See fan reactions below.
