If you enjoyed Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire on AMC, then the premiere of The Vampire Lestat didn’t disappoint. The show had all of the phenomenal acting that fans have come to love. And, most importantly, Lestat (played by Sam Reid) was the sassy troublemaker that we’ve come to know. As an added bonus, the season debut showed that viewers have a lot to learn about Lestat’s past.
As the premiere continues, viewers see flashes of Lestat’s life before he was turned into a vampire. Most of those moments are triggered by Daniel Molloy asking him questions about his childhood. Among the queries is about him having a stutter. It’s a question that will likely be answered in a flashback, but it won’t be coming from Lestat’s mouth.
One of the important parts of the episode came at the end of the episode as Lestat revealed that he’s a vampire to his bandmates. Sadly, it wasn’t accidental, and it wasn’t subtle. He burst through the door, feeding on another vampire. As everyone in the room stood shocked, he exited by flying out of the window. Again, it wasn’t subtle, but this will cause him all sorts of trouble in the next episode. Keep scrolling to learn how you can find out how his bandmates react.

What to expect in episode 2 of The Vampire Lestat
At the end of the episode, fans unfamiliar with this story witness Lesta’s very Game of Thrones-like relationship with his mother/lover, Gabrielle de Lioncourt. Granted, the lover part could be false, but it looks questionable at best.
The second episode of The Vampire Lestat should explain exactly what their relationship was like before Lestat was turned and why he cursed/gifted his mother with vampirism. However, no matter what the explanation is, it seems like this will be the one bond creepier than Jaime and Cersei Lannister.
