The after-show will launch with a special preview episode on May 24 on AMC+ before the series launch on June 7. Episodes will then air weekly on AMC+ and be available on podcast platforms the following day. Select episodes will also air on AMC, including the special preview episode on May 31, the season premiere on June 7 and season finale on July 19.

The preview episode will see Reid, Anderson, Zaman, Hayles, Bogosian, Jones and Johnson tease the new season, including behind-the-scenes insights from the set.

“We’re thrilled to introduce this must-watch companion show for ‘The Vampire Lestat,’ a series that has truly captivated a loyal and passionate fan base,” said Ben Davis, executive vice president of scripted programming for AMC Global Media. “’After Dark’ is designed to enrich the viewing experience, with a deep dive into the lore of the show and behind-the-scenes insights from the cast and producers that pull back the curtain on the stories, characters and moments that define this upcoming season.”

“The Vampire Lestat: After Dark” is produced by School of Humans and AMC Studios. Executive producers include guests Jones, Johnson, Reid, Anderson, Hayles, as well as LC Crowley, Brandon Barr, Ben Franzen, Adam O’Byrne and series showrunner Joe Randazzo.

AMC was an early pioneer of the after show format with the launch of the incredibly popular and successful “Talking Dead” hosted by Chris Hardwick, which took fans behind the scenes of “The Walking Dead” franchise. That show aired for 11 seasons between 2011 and 2022.
