Who is in the Interview With the Vampire Season 3 cast?
Several new characters will be introduced in Interview With the Vampire Season 3, including Gabrielle, Magnus and Marius, as well as Those Who Must Be Kept (Akasha and Entil), whose castings haven't yet been announced. Here's who we're pretty sure will return for the third installment.
Sam Reid as Lestat de Lioncourt
AMC
Sam Reid will reprise his role as the preternaturally beautiful, terrifyingly charismatic, addictive vampire Lestat de Lioncourt. Season 3 will focus heavily on his character and his character's story from his own point of view, as opposed to his story being told by and through Louis, Armand and Claudia.

Jacob Anderson as Louis de Pointe du Lac
AMC
Game of Thrones alum Jacob Anderson will return as Louis de Pointe du Lac following the explosive Season 2, which saw him question his memory after being manipulated and gaslit by Armand.
Assad Zaman as Armand
AMC
Assad Zaman will be back as Armand, the calculated, cruel, conniving but still somehow cute vampire who corrupted Louis and Daniel's memories for the sake of controlling their narratives.

Eric Bogosian as Daniel Molloy
AMC
"And then what happened?" Eric Bogosian is back as the quasi-Anthony Bourdain-coded interviewer extraordinaire Daniel Molloy. We're looking forward to hearing more of his story, as well as his experiences with the Talamasca (and his impatience and shady remarks to and about Armand).

Joseph Potter as Nicolas de Lenfent
AMC
Nicolas de Lenfent was a huge part of Lestat's life. Joseph Potter appeared as the character, generally regarded as Lestat's first love, in Season 2, and their relationship will likely be explored further in Season 3.
Gopal Divan as Dr. Fareed Bhansali
AMC
Dr. Fareed Bhansali's part is set to be somewhat expanded in Season 3, so expect to see Gopal Divan reprising the role.

AMC
Raglan will have a more prominent role in Interview With the Vampire Season 3, with Justin Kirk likely coming back for the Talamasca agent role he originated in Season 1. (There's also going to be a Talamasca spinoff, so he may be there as well!)
Christopher Geary as Sam
AMC
Christopher Geary will return as playwright vampire Sam, who was heavily inspired by Samuel Beckett (remember Waiting for Guido?) in Season 2.

Bally Gill as Rashid

Or, should we say, "real Rashid."
It's also possible that some vampires and mortals who didn't survive Seasons 1 and 2 may reappear in Season 3 flashback scenes, especially as the story gets told increasingly through Lestat's lens.
