Lestat as a character is funnier this way, but he's also more tragic. The humor winds up enhancing the heavy stuff, while the darkness of it all only makes the laughter feel more welcome and necessary.

Inverse

Its camp qualities pair well with its queerness — Interview with the Vampire is somehow gayer than ever in Season 3 — making the escapist portions of The Vampire Lestat an enjoyable ride.

The Beat

The Vampire Lestat is gayer, campier, raunchier, darker, and intentionally funnier than the first two seasons of Interview with the Vampire. ... The cast rises to a new level of the stratosphere, led by the inimitable Sam Reid.

Filled with deep complexity, staggeringly emotional performances, and a protagonist who's captivating in so many layered ways, this season of Interview with the Vampire is not only the show at its best, but one of the best seasons of TV in 2026 so far.
