AMC+ Releases Live Long Face Video and New Toledo Tracks Ahead of The Vampire Lestat Season 3

AMC and its streaming service AMC+ have added new music content to support the third season of the gothic‑horror series The Vampire Lestat, which premiered on June 7 2026. The first release is a live performance video of Sam Reid, who plays Lestat de Lioncourt, singing the series’ original rock track “Long Face” at New York City’s Beacon Theatre. The video was posted on AMC+ the day before the season’s premiere and is available for all subscribers.

In addition to the video, AMC+ made two audio tracks from the episode set in Toledo available for streaming. The tracks, titled “Why Do I Have to Feel?” and “La Fontaine DeSang,” were released on the same day as the video. Both songs were written for the show’s soundtrack and feature the same rock‑oriented style that has become a hallmark of the series.

Season 3 of the series, now titled Anne Rice’s The Vampire Lestat, follows the events of Rice’s second novel in the Vampire Chronicles series. The season continues the story of Lestat’s rise to power and the growing influence of vampires in the modern world. Episode 3, “Toronto,” is set to air on the network on June 14 2026. In the episode, the character Molloy confronts Lestat about his past as a Parisian actor, while Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) deals with unfinished business in Detroit. The episode was written by Anusree Roy.

The show’s core cast remains unchanged from the first two seasons. Jacob Anderson portrays Louis, while Sam Reid continues as Lestat. Other regulars include Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian, Delainey Hayles, and Jennifer Ehle. New additions for the third season are Ella Ballentine (Baby Jenks), Jeanine Serralles (Christine Claire), Christopher Heyerdahl (Marius), Damien Atkins (Magnus), and Sheila Atim (Akasha). Supporting roles feature Noah Reid as Larry, Ryan Kattner as Salamander, Seamus Patterson as Alex, and Sarah Swire as TC.

The series is produced by award‑winning producer Mark Johnson and created and show‑run by Rolin Jones. Other executive producers include Hannah Moscovitch, Christopher Rice, and the late Anne Rice, whose novels form the basis of the show.

The live performance video and the Toledo tracks are part of AMC’s broader strategy to integrate music and narrative for the Immortal Universe. The network has previously used original music to enhance the atmosphere of its horror and fantasy series, and the current releases continue that trend.

The Beacon Theatre performance was a one‑night event held on June 2 2026. According to the setlist posted on setlist.fm, Reid performed “Long Face” alongside other original songs such as “Brutal Love.” The concert was accompanied by series composer Daniel Hart on lead guitar.

The release of the music content comes as the third season of The Vampire Lestat expands its storyline to include a rock‑driven tour that follows Lestat’s growing fame. The narrative explores how the character’s influence over both vampires and humans escalates, culminating in a phenomenon the show calls the Great Conversion.

The new tracks and video are available for streaming on AMC+ and can be accessed by all subscribers. The series continues to air on AMC on Sundays, with the next episode scheduled for June 14 2026.

In summary, AMC and AMC+ have added a live “Long Face” video and two Toledo tracks to support the third season of The Vampire Lestat. These releases coincide with the season’s premiere and the upcoming episode “Toronto,” which will further develop the series’ central conflict.
