Panic Expands With Acquisition of Kingdom of Something
April 13, 2026
Anne Rice’s The Vampire Lestat (aka the third season of AMC’s Interview with the Vampire), premieres this June with these titles by CD Patrick Clair and the team at Antibody – an appropriate mix nightmare and nightlife.
Patrick Clair: “For the third season, the show evolves to take on a new title and a new challenge: capturing the energy and zeitgeist of a Vampire rockstar.
“We looked at the way popular musicians are celebrated in the age of TikTok and social media: an endless cavalcade of remix videos, thirst posting and fan hype. We took images of Lestat and mixed with them Vampiric folklore across recent pop culture, adding hyperreal colors and obscure references to the show.
“For the third season, the show evolves to take on a new title and a new challenge: capturing the energy and zeitgeist of a Vampire rockstar.
“I’m usually away from the tools but for this job I had the opportunity to go through the renders fame-by-frame scratching in graffiti, defacements and doodles. This project was about exploring how the fans of the story world see Lestat, played by Aussie actor Sam Reid, as an ambitious Rock God for a post-truth era.
“We had enormous fun crafting this sequence, for a show I truly love. Lestat is a narcissistic creative force devoted to violence, passion – and above all – intense bloody reverie. I hope our tribute does him justice. Deepest thanks to collaborator and showrunner Rolin Jones and the team, this one was a true labor of love.”
