N/A

S01

Resentful of the perfunctory portrayal in the trashy bestseller "Interview with the Vampire," the Vampire Lestat sets his story straight in a way only the Vampire Lestat can - by starting a band and going on tour. Gabriella. Nicholas. Magnus. Marius. Those Who Must Be Kept. They join Louis, Armand, Molloy, Sam, Raglan, Fareed and others we can't tell you about yet on a sexy pilgrimage across space, time and trauma. No Auto-Tuning. No Trigger Warnings. All Feels Amplified.

ON AIR: JUN 7Season 1

Strongest Match

Wednesday delivers the same gothic, supernatural-mystery energy as The Vampire Lestat, with deadpan jokes cutting through haunted high school cases. The pacing bounces between creature-feature set pieces and a bigger whodunit, so you get both quick laughs and mounting dread, just with a sharper teen sarcasm instead of rock-tour melodrama.

The Witcher

Netflix • Oct 30 • 2019

DramaAction

Geralt of Rivia, a solitary monster hunter, struggles to find his place in a world where people often prove more wicked than beasts.

Why This Pick

The Witcher scratches the same itch for dark, self-contained danger as The Vampire Lestat, where every scene feels like a choice with consequences. You get a solitary monster hunter moving through brutal encounters and morally gray pressure, trading the vampire’s theatrical touring for colder, harsher survival and a more grounded sense of dread.

The Runarounds

Prime Video • Sep 1 • 2025

DramaComedy

A high school band graduates and attempts to achieve fame and success in the music industry.

View show

Why This Pick

The Runarounds shares The Vampire Lestat’s music-forward obsession, turning ambition into a pressure-cooker you can feel in every rehearsal and gig. Where The Vampire Lestat uses rock touring to amplify trauma and spectacle, this one keeps the focus on bandmates chasing success, warmer and more feel-good, with comedy and friendship doing the heavy lifting.
