Learn more about the upcoming episode with The Vampire Lestat episode 5 preview, “New York.”
In episode 4, Lestat and his band were riding high after footage of their last concert went viral. Louis (Jacob Anderson) went down a dangerous road by engaging with the mysterious Regina (Delainey Hayles). Daniel (Eric Bogosian) confronted Armand (Assad Zaman) in the middle of his apology tour and ended up making a shocking discovery. After a shooting at his most recent concert, Lestat believes his music career is over. When Gabriella (Jennifer Ehle) comes back to town she convinces her son to keep playing music. It’s not about his fans, she says, it’s about the other vampires.
