She's Coming: Akasha To Debut In Season 3! Show is Renewed! 

I need a season focused on the era that Akasha and her husband ruled, a couple seasons at that.

Aliyaah did such an amazing job as Akasha it will be hard to not make comparisons. I hope they use an actress that isnt that well known

I jumped out of my seat when Lestat mentioned Those Who Must be Kept, completed geeked out. Then he mentioned Akasha and I was over the moon cause I knew it was going to get to her. I’m assuming they’re doing the books by release so when they finally get to Queen of the Damned, I’m going to cherish that season. Please guys let’s keep this show alive!

They have the potential for like 17+ seasons and to become one of the longest running fantasy TV shows

For the actress who will be playing Akasha you got a lot of shoes to fill

Seeing the “real” Lestat was so beautiful in the last episode of season 2, that I actually teared up. To see the love Lestat had/has for Louie was pure poetry. And may I just say, THAT is how you do a same sex/gay romance my friends. Bravo!

Season two was fun. A real mini whirlwind. I had wished they would've given a buffer episode or more scenes with Claudia and Madeleine but alas, no fruit there. Santiago gets a standing ovation from me. Ben Daniel's performance was incredible. He elevated our Buffoon to perfect Vampire Bouffon.

Sam Reid has really put Lestae's famboyant chasmatic charms in the show. Now we'll get to c more of it next season. I hope Akasha will b played by a well picked choice of an actress. But Aaliyah will always b #1 in my eyes. I wanna c how witches and spirits r in this universe, mostly wanting to c Amel himself. It was said in book Amel looks like Lestat, but with pale skin, 6ft tall, bright green eyes, and red hair. I can c this show lasting for 13 season, as many as there r of books. It would offically b labeled as the 2nd longest supernatrual themed series, next to Supernatrual of 15.

One person recommended Gillian Anderson as Gabrielle and I can't unsee it. She'd be perfect but I trust casting to do their thing even with a relative unknown. They really care about the end product.

This show is absolutely amazing. This reimagined story is so refreshing, entertaining, and addictive. The heart of the books is still present. People who are upset that its not exactly like the books clearly don't understand how adaptations work. I love all the Easter eggs they throw in there. The acting, production, and even the score is absolutely incredible. It's an emotional roller coaster I never want to get off 😭. I'm most excited for season 3 because I'm obsessed with Sam Reid's Lestat. I just wish they did a better job marketing this show because it's honestly Emmy worthy. Criminally underrated.

Madly in love with this show

The changes are really exciting to think about. I've grown attached to Louis, so we'll see what it's like to have Lestat as the main character. In reading the books, I never considered him a more reliable narrator than Louis. In fact, him becoming a rock star seems to support Louis' portrayal of him in the show. But I'm actually most interested to see more of Malloy and what he does with vampirism, given how he has been as a human, and how he handles "the vampire bond" with his maker Armand, whom he despised as a human.

Give me Marius!!!!!!!

PERSONALLY I'M VOTING FOR ZOE SALDANA TO PLAY AS AKASHA QUEEN OF THE DAMNED. SHE HAS THE FACE THE BODY AND ABOVE AND BEYOND THE ACTING SKILLS FOR THIS ROLE. WE'VE SEEN HER PLAY THE ANTI-HERO THE HERO AND THE STAR CROSSED LOVER. ITS TIME SHE LETS HER VILAINESS REIGN SUPREME AND IM HOPING AND PRAYING SHE READS THIS AND JUMPS ON THIS ROLE SIMPLY FOR THE SAKE OF ADDING THIS ICONIC CHARACTER TO HER COLLECTIVE OF CHARACTERS.

Akasha appears at the end of the second book, The Vampire Lestat. She abducts him when his music wakens her. It’ll be a brief cameo…but when they adapt Queen of the Damned…man! The writers have a lot to cover! That’s one of the most pivotal books in the series.

I wonder who is going to play Akska👑🧛🏾‍♀️ Im a fan Aliyah as the Queen of the Damed & the First Interview with the Vampire 💯💖

OMG SEASON 3!!! Just finished watching season 2 last night and the scene where they are both in tears just simply melted my heart!!! This version fleshes out IMO the main characters vs the original movie. The way Louis runs to hug Lestat at the end is magnificent and felt so right. While I like the portrayal of Santiago in this TV version I was sooo looking forward to a fight between both of them (besides the tongue grabbing scene ) but how Louis sliced him up was very satisfying lol. With Claudia and Madeleine the unfolding from season 1 into 2 was masterful and again made this version so much more believable as to why Claudia needed companionship w/ Madeleine. I agree with another poster the show is not getting its airtime w the media nor talk shows. Come on let’s push! Push ! Push! I am sooooo looking forward to S3 and beyond!!!

Just as a minor role. They need to wait for her till season 4 or 5. 3 should be based on the vampire lestat and him just meeting her at Marius home.

This show has been amazing. If you can get past the changes made, there's no way to NOT love this show. If Anne were still here (because she's definitely not a vampire watching from the shadows lol), I think she would love what they're doing with her work.

Best show on television right now. The sets, acting, special effects ❤ Plus the song Lestat sings that was just released...Sam Reid is a Rockstar

I am SO excited! I cannot wait to see how Sam expands Lestat's character. I love the glimpses of the 'real' Lestat we get in Season 2.

Aliyaah, was legendary as Akasha. Queen" was evil and Gorgeous! Her sensual" snake like movements. Were spellbinding" captivating friends or foes. ❤❤❤💯💯

This season was so good! I really loved the last episode too especially for what happened to the interviewer.. and you’re so right, they do know how to keep the show feeling fresh 🔥

Hopefully season 3 will be the book of lestat. Would be cool to see magnus for a bit how he made lestat and maruis

The speeeeeed at which I click over whenever a notification of your uploads pop upppppp

I really loved both seasons. It's hard to pick a favorite!

Season two truly blew me away. VC is my favorite book series and I spent many years immersed in its characters and lore so the changes in season one were very hard to digest for me and I was a bit of a hater for it. But season two from the get go was so different. It was a much more confident show in its writing and presentation. The changes made sense and it added a lot more context and gravitas to the events. I am in love with the actors and how the captured the characters from the books and I can't wait for season 3. The way they are mixing things from later books already is so smart!

I’m so stoked on “Vampire Lestat” “VL” s3 I hope they actually do some tours

My choices for key characters for Season 3 of IWTV with The Vampire Lestat are Eve Best as fledgling/mother the Vampiress Gabrielle de Lioncourt. Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Akasha mother of all vampires and queen of all who are damned. Ian McDiarmid as Magnus who's Lestat's maker. Mads Mikkaelson as Mario De Romanus not only did he make Armand but is guardian of Those Who Must Be Kept in Greece.

I know queen of the damned wasn't well received but I hope we get a soundtrack on par if not better with season 3

I thought that season 2 was far above and beyond season 1, as in season 2, we got to understand more about Claudia, her feelings, her wants and desires, and her loneliness. I really felt sorry for her, mainly because all of her undead life was not her choice. Now I am extremely excited about season 3, because I have read the books, and I am excited to see how they portray Lestat's life, before and after he becomes a vampire. The events are going to occur in a different era compared to the books, which I think, will give it a different perspective and a different feel all around.

Omg that is great I’m so excited this is the channel to get the best information on vampires

Can’t wait for the wolves! 🐺

actress tika sumpter would make an awesome akasha

Long as they stick to the books. I love all the books!

I hope they get a good composer so Lestat’s music is legit this time.

Interview with the Vampire was two seasons so I think going forward the rest of the books will be two season each. I'm interested in learning Lestat's version of things.

They better Cast Akasha perfectly >.> i will protest

Akasha and I know she will be BEAUTIFUL 😍😍😍

Would have been wonderful if Aaliyah were alive to play the role

This is exciting. I wonder who’s going to play her. I need to rewatch Queen of the Damned. The music, concerts were 🔥

Im excited to see Akasha, but I have a feeling Twitter/X is hoing to piss me off for specific reasons.

i'm so excited! i was sat every Sunday for each new episode. i haven't been so into a show in years. the absolute just amazing casting and story telling in my opinion hasn't been seen since game of thrones!

The reunion scene is the one thing Lestat, in the books, claims not only didn't happen the way Louis said it did but that it never even happened at all. (Although Lestat also does admit to having been kind of out of his mind at the point and having spotty memory, which means Lestat might genuinely believe it never happened even if it did just because Lestat may not remember it. Ssoo.... We'll see what the tv series does with it or not.)

I cannot believe it. I'm so excited!

I am so happy we are getting Lestat’s pov bc for the longest time we were getting everyone’s but not lestat. We are going to learn more about who is Lestat and what are his decisions when comes to dilemmas, much more.

With her 🔥 powers just as Aaliyah did in 2001

Can't wait. season 2 was even better than season 1. I was shocked !!!

Best news ever!!! Can’t wait! So much more of the stories to tell.

I pray they keep akasha as a ehtinic person she is from modern day Iraq i dont want a white washing of the character

My guess is that the Devil's Minion is either going to be another flashback sequence where we find out Armand screwed around with young Daniel and wiped his mind of it, or Armand tormenting vamp-Daniel because Daniel is too "okay" with getting changed, and he'd want Daniel to suffer.

No one can play akasha but one woman but she not with us

. . . Wait weren't mentioned vampires or at least one entombed in the burnt theatre in paris? Exciting! I can't wait. This season is dope. Incorporating the heart of theatre coupled with the 4th wall narration n movie genius makes me feel like I'm at the theater.

Season 2 was amazing! Even though a few things got altered, it did stay "spiritually" accurate. I don't think it will detract from the overall flow of the true story. But I'll just say I have been waiting so eagerly to see Sam get his full front and center stage to tell Lestat's story. Lestat is very complicated character, and unless you get his full story you can't really understand where all his anger and pain comes from. I know they will tell his story well with this next season, and I know Jacob is really to give it his all too. I really, really want to see who they cast as Marius and Akasha because of all the new characters, those two captivated me the most in the next two books. And I hope Armand's story gets fleshed out more too, because he has tragedy that needs to be told as well. Been loving this show and hope it continues.

This is the time I shall start watching the show. I hope it's someone amazing and fascinating looking as Aaliyah, She was so enigmatic. I was enthralled by Aaliyah's look and character. If they cant keep up with Aaliyah, then I won't watch.

A bigger shift than the one made to the time period and ethnicities? Impossible

I effraid to be so much new character to explore in one season. I want one show just for Marius please pretty please AMC

Anyone else reading the next books and just DYING for the translation to screen??? Also, like if you want the actors to do special editions of the audiobooks??? how do we make it happen?

I hope they take some costume inspiration from the film because that costume was iconic

This will become the best show on television. Everything about it is top-notch. Season three and four will be epic.

I wonder who they will cast to play akasha either way this show has definitely surpassed my expectations by far I can’t wait for season 3!

I’m ready for it!

I can see the YOUNG 1970s Daniel in a short relationship with Armand ( maybe a “pre-first-interview” period of time that Armand made both Daniel and Louis forget?) But I can’t see a relationship between Armand and the older Daniel.

Love it and I can't wait to see who will be the Queen & King

This has been a GREAT show!

im giving you the choice i never had...i love the movie but now this is growing on me love this,hope the series will evolve and bring more acrion thrill and horror a little faster less talking interviewing

I know she’s never touched television and is a bonafide movie star, but my dream casting for Gabrielle has always been Michelle Pfeiffer ✨

I’m so glad they’re sticking close to the books

Interesting how Enlil intertwined with Akasha in the storyline. Akasha was turned with Invocation of Set 🐍, not demonic possession like the story said. Yes, there's the old Enki & Enlil story. However there's also the Book of Anu - regarding Annunaki Vampires.

I read 7 of the books love the a nne rice vampire world. Its lowkey exciting because new fans are just getting a glimspe of the vampire world in the first 2 seasons!

I will do with this series what I did for The Crown 👑. I wasn't interested a bit until The Diana season was announced. Emma Corrin blew me away with her powerhouse performance that ultimately made her a star. The actress casted for Akasha MUST have real star presence and enthralled the audience.

So glad they are coming back for another season

I love this show! I can't wait to see what comes next!❤

I wonder who they will choose to portray the Queen of the Damned? Personally, I think that no one could match the late Aaliyah's performance in the movie version of "Queen of the Damned", but that's just me!

im soooo down for your optimism. eat her eyes! :P

cant wait! Show was so good!

I can't wait to see Lestat rocking out...the casting of all of those parts is so exciting!! 🩸👩🏼‍🎤🧛‍♀️❤🎸

I could see shannon thornton as akasha! I am so excited for this season 3!

Honestly growing up I remember watching interview with a vampire then going forward qotd came along and I didn’t know the book was expanded either so when I learned qotd was the the sequel to the movie interview with a vampire I learned it was book 3 in the series :0 I got audiobook credits I think imma start the book series from scratch. I’m actually about to go watch both movies now. I finished the current seasons and I’m hooked. Please pick a great actress for the queen 👸

Cannot Wait!!!! They did Anne justice tho...even if it's not word for word. I absolutely love this dang show! And the cast are superb!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👏💯

I felt like the middle episodes were too chatty. They needed to intersperse some more action in between. What were Claudia and Madeleine doing while they were away? I would have like to see them build up their connection so it would be more painful to see Madeleine's death. Claudia's death was tragic. And I felt like Louis' revenge tour was rushed. I could have done with less of his madness and more on the theater fire and I felt like they rushed Santiago's death. The telepathic conversation they were having was brutal but it ended so quickly. Ben Daniels was amazing. And what can you say about Sam Reid? He is just superb. He's magnetic and everything you'd imagine Lestat to be. He definitely deserves an Emmy. Can't wait for the 3rd season. Thank you for the videos! They are so fun to watch.

I think I'm gonna read The Vampire Lestat ahead of season 3. It's been a long time since I've read or seen that movie with Akasha. I can't get enough of Sam Reid..lol

Yaaaass queeeeen. Literally 😊

This makes me happy. ❤❤❤❤

We saw the "real" Lestat when Louis went to see him in 2x8 during the reunion scene.

Do you think there's a chance we're gonna see claudia again , in the books she comes back as a ghost right?, and she did say she would come back , maybe as louis finally comprehends the full truth of everything he will see her and she will maybe forgive him ?

#AMAZING ❤❤❤❤❤❤ I CAN'T WAIT 🤩🤩

I'm just soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited

What !! I'm there for it" ❤❤❤❤

I mean.... the last Vampire Chronicles books ever published said that Daniel and Armand had gotten back together, after Daniel had a temporary stint of being with Marius. Also, Daniel was the ONLY fledgling that Armand ever made, and Armand made Daniel a vampire specifically because Armand didn't want Daniel to die. (But you're going to say that Armand didn't really have much interest in Daniel? 🤔 😂) Even in the tv series, Armand is like laser focused on Daniel a majority of the time. It wouldn't surprise me if Armand didn't actually turn Daniel immediately after Louis left them, or if Armand and Daniel stayed together for a while after Daniel became a vampire if Armand did. Buut, we'll see, only time will tell! 😁😁

I really want them to cast an Egyptian to play the role of Akasha

I'm surprised it lasted this long.

Please be as good rock music as it was in 2002

Thank the lord , I can hardly wait

It better be a season 3 this show to good

I'm really worried that they are going to skip David, as they have already explored the trope of an older man turning. And that would be a shame, Tale of the Body Thief being my all time favourite.

Im so excited for season im curious whose going to play enkil and akasha aaliyah was outstanding in the role finally the vampire lestat will get a true adaptation i can't wait to see gabrielle 🎉🎊👨‍🎤i absolutely enjoyed season 2 definitely better than season 1

Love your updates!!🚄🍎🍒🍊🍋

Heck YEAH!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

Curious of the tone of the Lestat's band. In the 1980s rock was very different from hard rock that was popular in 2002. Im not even sure what genre music lestat will be
