NEW YORK- July 14, 2026- AMC Global Media today announced that The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only LIVE, the standing-room-only performance celebrating AMC’s premiere of its newly-released The Vampire Lestat at New York City’s iconic Beacon Theatre last month, will make its streaming debut on AMC+ on Sunday, August 23. Additionally, highlights from the electrifying premiere event, featuring original songs from series composer Daniel Hart and performed by Sam Reid, will be screened for fans in Hall H at Comic Con International on Friday, July 24.
Following the screening, cast and executive producers from The Vampire Lestat will take the Hall H stage for the first time to reflect on the series’ jaw-dropping season finale, premiering Sunday, July 19 on AMC and AMC+.
Officially Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with a perfect 100% critical score, The Vampire Lestat follows Lestat (Reid) on an electric multi-city tour while he’s haunted by “muses” from his wild and rebellious past. As his band’s popularity and star power rises, so does Lestat’s influence over vampires and humans alike, leaving others to contend with Lestat’s power in the face of the Great Conversion, an unnatural surge in the vampire population.
The Vampire Lestat and the previous two seasons of Interview with the Vampire are currently streaming on AMC+.

This year, Hulu Animayhem is taking over the Gaslamp with a food and beverage-driven, fan-first experience inspired by “Futurama” and “King of the Hill.” The iconic Planet Express returns to Comic-Con alongside Bobby Hill’s new Robata Chane venture. Guests can enjoy themed offerings like Fry’s 100 Days of Cold Brew and Robata Chane-inspired yakitori.

You’ll also be able to put your skills to the test. Start by stepping up to a fast-paced Ink ‘n’ Aim Challenge, where you’ll take aim with a water gun at Salmonid-inspired targets. You’ll compete against other attendees, and you’ll need speed and accuracy to carry you to victory. Then cool down at the BRISK Bar, featuring samples of BRISK Iced Tea. From there, jump into hands-on gameplay demos of Splatoon Raiders and experience the game for yourself.
Along the way, fans can capture photos, explore the BRISK x Splatoon Raiders Island Hideout, and collect exclusive co-branded merchandise and treasure-worthy loot while supplies last. Whether you're attending Comic-Con or simply exploring San Diego, the BRISK x Splatoon Raiders Island Hideout is your chance to step into the world of Splatoon Raiders, challenge your crew, and experience a real-world extension of the game alongside BRISK Iced Tea.
