Article Summary

  • AMC’s The Vampire Lestat Episode 3, “Toronto,” pushes deeper into Lestat’s past after Raglan James shocks Louis.
  • The Vampire Lestat preview teases Daniel Molloy pressing Lestat on his Paris stage years, transformation, and past ties.
  • Episode 3 brings major Lestat backstory, with Armand returning in a big way and Louis handling unfinished business in Detroit.
  • Written by Anusree Roy, The Vampire Lestat “Toronto” sets up revelations that could reshape the season’s vampire drama.

Well, that was definitely one way for Talamasca's Raglan James (Justin Kirk) to get Louis's (Jacob Anderson) attention – we'll leave it there to avoid spoilers. But even as we process what went down this weekend, AMC and Showrunner Rolin Jones's Sam Reid, Jacob Anderson, Eric Bogosian, Assad Zaman, Delainey Hayles, and Jennifer Ehle-starring Anne Rice's The Vampire Lestat is already moving on to "Toronto" – and we have an overview and image gallery for the next stop on the tour waiting for you below. The big headlines? We get our best looks yet at Magnus (Damien Atkins) and Nicholas (Joseph Potter), Armand (Assad Zaman) is back in a very big way, and it looks like we're getting a ton of backstory.
