In addition to Reid, The Vampire Lestat stars Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian, Delainey Hayles and Jennifer Ehle and is executive produced by award-winning producer Mark Johnson, creator, writer and showrunner Rolin Jones, Hannah Moscovitch, along with Christopher Rice and the late Anne Rice.
AMC Global Media and Lakeshore Records recently released “Long Face” and “All Fall Down,” Lestat’s first two official rock singles, on the Vampire Lestat artist profile pages at major digital music services, including Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music.
