The teaser was debuted during the 2024 Comic-Con panel.
In the video, Daniel waits on set with a Lestat lookalike sitting in Lestat’s chair. Something is happening behind the scenes, presumed to be Lestat draining a human, and then Sam comes in, with Daniel looking terrified.
“That’s him, Jesus Christ. Look at him,” he says. The show’s actual executive producer Mark Johnson also introduces himself in the clip.
“Can you state your name for the camera?” Daniel asks.
“Justin Bieber,” Lestat replies. When Daniel asks what Lestat thinks about his book, Daniel starts coughing uncontrollably. The first page of The Vampire Lestat book is then read by Sam in voiceover.
“I am the Vampire Lestat. I am immortal, more or less. The light of the sun, the sustained heat of an intense fire — these things might destroy me. But then again, they might not,” Lestat says, as we hear Lestat’s first official song from the season.
At one point, the clapper loader showcases an arm tattoo that says “Armand told the truth.” Watch the teaser…
