Thirsty for more blood stories! So, get a grip of your seat as AMC is all set to return with more hilarious stories of Lestat and other vampires. That’s right! Interview With The Vampire Season 3 is happening, and this time, the show is ready to bring back some prestigious characters on our screen. The show aired the second season, and fans are clamoring for more.

The most interesting part is that the series showrunner shared the most needed update about the following season. So, without further ado, let’s head to learn how things will move in the next run.

Based on Anne Rice’s The Vampire Chronicles, the series focuses on the story of vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac, who tells a veteran journalist about how he was turned into a vampire. Louis shared that he was romanced and turned into a vampire by Lestat de Lioncourt. However, things turn dramatic when Lestat introduces a new vampire, Claudia, whose entry only strains their relationship.

Interview With The Vampire Season 3 Is Back!

Rejoice fans! That’s because Louis de Pointe du Lac is back to rock your world with his stories. While the second season debuted on May 12, 2024, and ran until June 30, AMC renewed the series for the third season just after a couple of episodes wrapped up airing on the network. The network renewed the show on June 26, 2024, during a press release, stating the vampires would return for the third run.

Well, there’s no denying that the series is one of the most loved shows on the platform. It won many hearts with its fantastic performance and narration. The series gained 98% positive ratings on Rotten Tomatoes. Meanwhile, on IMDb, it earned 7.4 stars out of 10. This itself suggests that the series is most in demand.

After the show was renewed for the third run, series showrunner Rolin Jones thanked the brilliant casts and crews for their stunning performances in both seasons and the series fandom for creating such a popular series.

Jones said, “Thank you to Dan McDermott [and] Ben Davis for the funds and tools to continue the great work.” While the showrunner expressed his gratitude, he also mocked and apologized to actor Sam Reid’s family and friends. He mocked sincere apologies “for the possession that continues to this day,” referring to Reid’s story arc. However, they are ready to continue this arc and didn’t want to end the show as it is.

Interview With The Vampire Season 3 Cast Details

Without any doubt, we can say that Sam Reid and Jacob Anderson will return to reprise their roles in Interview With The Vampire Season 3. They will return as Lestat de Lioncourt and Louis de Pointe du Lac. AMC’s press release also announced that Assad Zaman would return as Armand. Eric Bogosian as Daniel Molloy will join the show, with Christopher Geary as Samuel ‘Sam’ Barclay and Justin Kirk as Raglan James.

The other cast members include Gopal Divan as Fareed and Joseph Potter as Nicolas de Lenfent. In addition, at San Diego Comic-Con 2024, the cast and creators shared Claudia’s fate. Delainey Hayles, who plays Claudia, said she could claw her way to the third season. Hayles’ character was burned to ashes in the second season, leaving many to believe she wouldn’t return.

However, Jones said that she would return. Those who have read The Vampire Chronicles will know that Claudia makes her brief comeback as a ghost. That means Interview With The Vampire Season 3 will witness her return. Season 3 will also introduce the long-awaited characters like Akasha, the Queen of the Damned, Marius, Lestat’s mother Gabrielle, and Armand’s reclusive maker.

However, casting them can be tricky, as Rolin Jones shared. Casting two of the ancient vampires is tricky. The showrunner said in the interview that he was attracted to theater actors and respected their training, so he’s looking to cast them as the ancient vampires. Jones added that season 3 will bring Lestat’s lover Nicolas, who Joe Potter will play.

What To Expect From Interview With The Vampire Season 3?

Since the series is based on Anne Rice’s fantasy book series The Vampire Chronicles, the creators have enough to explore in the TV adaptation. However, the series’ first two seasons have barely covered the first book. That means more to be explored in Interview With The Vampire Season 3. According to the reports, the third season will focus on the second book, The Vampire Lestat.

According to the series logline, the third season will focus on Lestat’s storyline. It will focus on Lestat starting a band and going on a tour with his pals- Nicholas, Gabrielle, Marius, and Magnus. They will join Armand, Louis, Sam, Molloy, Fareed, Raglan, and others.

The series will also focus on a sexy pilgrimage across space, trauma, and time. Further, Jones told Variety that the third season will differ from the first two seasons. That’s because Lestat will be the center of this season. So it will look like that Lestat has taken the show hostage. Jones shared that the third season will also feel different.

That’s because it will bring the Queen of the Damned, who will plan a deadly takeover. While she will rise and bring changes, Lestat will also focus on his love life. He and Nicolas will find the perfect time as they share some romantic moments together. Meanwhile, Armand’s steamy moments are yet to be explored.

Interview With The Vampire Season 3 Release Date

As of now, AMC hasn’t shared when the series will return for the next run. Well, if we consider the past two seasons, it looks like the show will take longer to return. That’s because the first season was released in October 2022 on AMC and AMC+. Meanwhile, the second season aired in May 2024. It’s quite common to have a two-year gap between seasons, especially in the case of “prestige” shows. However, AMC doesn’t follow this.

The two-year gap between seasons is entirely because of the 2023 Hollywood strikes, which created complications for the series. However, since the strike has been resolved, it doesn’t seem like the series will face more issues. Plus, the show has already released its first trailer. That means filming will wrap up soon. Considering this, Interview With The Vampire Season 3 will be released in 2025 or 2026. This is all for now. Stay with TechRadar247 for more such updates.

The Disney Channel is known for surprising fans with its witty comedy series, and Raven’s Home is one of them. Being a sequel to the most loved series, That’s So Raven, the show has created a separate fanbase, and many loved the enigmatic nature of Raven Baxter. But will she return for Raven’s Home Season 7? Unfortunately, we have bittersweet news for the series fans.

While the show has remained the most-watched series, Disney has decided to explore more cards, leaving fate in the air. So, without further ado, let’s see what the network is cooking for us.

Raven’s Home focuses on the titular character, continuing with her uncanny ability to see snippets of the future. However, she’s no longer a teen; Raven is now a mother with a career in the fashion industry. But the catch is her son can also see the snippets of the future. Inheriting the uncanny gift of his mother, both mother and son duo face challenges when their vision collides. The series provides a fresh perspective to its modern audiences, focusing on Raven’s dramatic life and pocket-size comedy.

Raven’s Home Season 7 Is Canceled

Since its debut in July 2017, Raven’s Home has brought nostalgia to its prequel series fans. The show remained a comfort place for several people as they tuned into it to ease their minds. While the show remains a top-notch series, Disney+ has decided to wrap it up with six seasons. Following the conclusion of the sixth season in September 2023, Diensy+ announced that they won’t return to explore Raven’s Home.

This news came out as a bit surprising for the series fans as the show has been the most loved series on Disney Plus. It gained 7.1 stars out of 10 on IMDb and has remained the best performer on the network. This left many in a dilemma as to why the series was canceled. Disney Plus hasn’t yet shared anything about its decision. However, the drop in series viewership hints at its dark fate.

The first season’s pilot episode amassed 3.50 million viewers, while the sixth season’s pilot episode only gained 0.09 million views. Hence, this drop in ratings might have created problems for the network. However, Disney Branded Television President Ayo Davis said in the interview, “Raven [Symone] is a true trailblazer.”

She has constantly pushed the creative boundaries in acting, directing, and producing. Davis added that Raven’s Home is a flagship series on the streaming platform. It has brought joy and laughter and tackling real-life issues. The series has humorously tackled the problems that most families and kids face.

Raven’s Home Cast: If Season 7 Returns

Since the series has been canceled, it doesn’t seem like the cast on the A-list will return. However, if the show gets a miraculous revival, we can expect the series to return with its ensemble cast. These include Raven-Symone as Raven Baxter, Mikal-Michelle Harris as Alice Baxter, and Isaac Ryan Brown as Booker Baxter. Raven’s Home Season 7 can also witness the return of Rondell Sheridan as Victor Baxter. The other supporting cast members include Felix Avita as Booker’s friend Neil. Emmy Liu-Wang can also return as their neighbor Ivy.

What To Expect From Raven’s Home Season 7?

The series follows the lives of Raven and her son Booker, who gets psychic visions. However, their lives take dramatic turns every season when they both misinterpret their psychic visions. Since every season focuses on a new chapter of this family, how things will move in the next run remains unclear. So, it’s hard to guess which direction Raven’s Home Season 7 will go.

However, the sixth season reached a milestone, featuring Booker’s high school graduation. So, the seventh season can focus on the major shift in the family dynamics. How will things be played off after Booker goes to college? Undoubtedly, his life will be more complicated as he receives more psychic visions. However, it doesn’t look like Disney Plus will focus on his college journey.

That’s because the network doesn’t go beyond high school. However, Raven’s Home Season 7 can focus on the family dynamics as Nia has returned to live with her mother. This will ultimately bring more challenges to the table, and how things will be moved remains to be seen.

Raven Signed A Multi-Year Deal With Disney Branded Television

While Raven-Symone’s Raven’s Home said goodbye to its fans, the actress hasn’t. The reports say she is happy to extend her relationship with Disney. Raven signed a multi-year deal with the network. Under this deal, she will direct, produce, and develop more projects across the platform. That means more multi-cam comedies are on its way. Interestingly, Davis is excited to work with Raven.

In an interview, he exclaimed that they were delighted to continue their close relationship with Raven-Symone. Raven also shared that Disney Channel has been home to her since she was 15. The network has been the canvas for her creative side, and she’s excited to embark on the new chapter. She has been working with the network for years and has told stories filled with heart, togetherness, and laughter.

Now, she is ready to write a new chapter of this creative journey with her Disney family. Raven-Symone has remained a huge part of the network. She first starred in a teen sitcom, That’s So Raven. Later, the actress appeared in Disney Channel original movies The Cheetah Girls and Cheetah Girls 2, which, according to reports, she produced.

On Broadway, Raven starred in Sister Act and later appeared in feature films A Girl Like Grace, The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, College Road Trip, Dr. Dolittle, and Dr. Dolittle 2. Besides this, Raven has a history of working as the executive producer and director. She had directed episodes of Sydney to the Max and Pretty Freekin Scary.

“Dance of Dragons” has just taken an intense turn, which will reshape history. While everyone waits for the highly dramatic House Of The Dragon Season 3, the showrunner suggests that the show will enter a new territory. Will things turn more challenging as both the heirs fight for the throne? As we move further, the long-awaited season 2 of House Of The Dragon ending suggests that the “battle is about to begin.”

The Game of Thrones prequel is now geared to feature the “Battle of the Gullet. ” The showrunner says this will be the most powerful event of time. So, let’s see how things move now.

House of the Dragons is a prequel to Game of Thrones, which takes place 200 years before the events of its sequel series. The series is set during the peak of the Targaryen dynasty’s power when they had more than ten dragons under their control. However, things take a dramatic turn after the death of the king, leading to a devastating war of succession. During the height of the war, things turn more complex when King Viserys Targaryen’s daughter Rhaenyra enters the picture, shifting the narration of the series.

House Of The Dragon Season 3 Is Back

HBO’s House of the Dragon is undoubtedly the most amazing series, and since it’s the prequel to the highly popular Game of Thrones, fans have high hopes for it, and so does the network. That’s why HBO renewed the series for the third season in advance of its second season premiere. The series was a massive hit for the network. In fact, it enjoyed the biggest-ever premiere audience on its debut on both HBO and Max.

The first season amassed 29 million viewers per episode, which quickly led to the renewal of the second season just one week after its premiere. That’s why the network didn’t think twice about renewing the series for the next season. Francesca Orsi, HBO’s programming and drama series chief, said they couldn’t be more thrilled to continue with House of The Dragon.

He added that watching this team burn bright again for the third season will be intriguing. The series has been on winning streaks. However, the second season failed to impress the audience as much as the first season. The first season amassed 9.99 million viewers in the US, while the second season saw a 22% viewership decline.

Despite that, the network is optimistic that House Of The Dragon Season 3 will bring changes. It will undoubtedly create more changes as the show is set to explore the epic plot. In addition, the series showrunner is hopeful for the next run. The co-creator Ryan Condal said they wanted to satisfy fans with what they deserve, suggesting the third season will be epic and bigger than the first two runs.

When Will The Filming For House Of The Dragon Season 3 Begin?

Days before HBO renewed House Of The Dragon Season 3, co-showrunner Ryan Condal teased that the next season was already in production. He shared that the writers were working on the script, and it remained unclear when it could be completed. Unlike other series, House of the Dragon takes more time to finish the first phase of production. Principal photography will take almost five months to finish.

That means the series won’t start filming this year. In fact, Condal told IGN that the cast and crew could start filming for the third season “early-ish 2025.” This means the filming won’t conclude until August 2025. Well, it could be the earliest we can think of.

If you remember, a nine-month gap existed between the conclusion of the second season’s filming and its premiere. So, if the third season follows the same, the series won’t return soon. In addition, the post-production phase will also take more time as this season is going to be bigger than ever.

Will House Of The Dragon Season 3 Be Shorter?

In an interview, when asked whether the third season would be shorter just like the second season, Condal revealed he had no idea—well, the second season had eight episodes. However, the co-creator said they hadn’t discussed the number of episodes count with HBO. Condal added, “I would just anticipate the cadence of the show [House of The Dragon],” that the series will focus on the same perspective. It will continue to be the same as season 2. So, fans can expect that the third season will have eight episodes.

House Of The Dragon Season 3 Cast Details

The production committee has yet to share the series’ cast details. However, considering how the previous season ended, we expect the following cast members to return: Matt Smith will return as Daemon Targaryen, Emma D’Arcy will return as Rhaenyra Targaryen, and Olivia Cooke will return as Alicent Hightower. Rhys Ifans as Otto Hightower will also join the series, with Steve Touissant as Corlys Velaryon.

Fabien Frankel as Criston Cole, Harry Collet as Jaecerys Targaryen, and Tom Glynn-Carney as Aegon II Targaryen will also join the show. Ewan Mitchell as Aemond Targaryen, Phia Saban as Helaena Targaryen, and Bethany Antonia as Baela Targaryen will also return.

In addition, Phoebe Campbell will join House Of The Dragon Season 3 as Rhaena Taragaryen, Kurt Egyiawan as Grand Measter Orwyle, and Matthew Needham as Larys Strong. Other cast members who could return include Kieran Bew as Hugh Hammer, Tom Bennett as Ulf White, and Clinton Libert as Addam of Hull.

The rest of the cast members include Abubakar Salim as Alyn of Hull, Sonoya Mizuno as Mysaria, Jefferson Hall as Jason and Tyland Lannister, Freddie Fox as Gwayne Hightower, Simon Russell Beale as Simon Strong, Gayle Rankin as Alys Rivers, and Abigail Thorn as Sharako Lohar. Some other characters who can play an integral part in the Targaryen civil war are Daeron Targaryen, Dalton Greyjoy, and Ormund Hightower.

Manfryd Mooton, Roderick Dustin, and others can also join. However, it remains unclear how much of the source material will be adapted for the third season, and thus, it remains unclear whether these integral characters will join House Of The Dragon in Season 3.

What To Expect From House Of The Dragon Season 3?

While little is known about the third season, showrunner Ryan Condal explained that this season will entirely focus on the battle. The second season didn’t treat the audience with “The Battle of the Gullet.” But no need to fret! The series showrunner has shared that season 3 will focus on that battle. In a press conference, he said they wanted to give the Gullet the most anticipated event.

They didn’t want to rush things and wanted to give the storyline the time and space it deserved. He added that he knew everybody wanted House of the Dragon to come every summer. However, considering the series’ complexity, it isn’t possible. But Condal hopes things will work well as they pull off the intense story arc to play.

The showrunner further revealed that House Of The Dragon Season 3 will start an early medieval war. It will bring several characters to the table, sharing more good moments about to take place. The second season ended with Team Black and Team Green’s pieces moving into the final position, hinting at a brutal event.

The third season will open up from there and focus on the lengthy conflict where numerous humans and dragons will die. There’s also a chance that Alicent will allow Rhaenyra to take the Iron Throne without the fight for the worth, suggesting things will turn more dramatic and intense in House Of The Dragon Season 3.

Will House Of The Dragon End With Season 3?

While Game of Thrones ran for eight seasons, its prequel is supposed to end with four. “A Song of Ice and Fire” author George R.R. Martin, whose work inspired the TV show, mentioned on his personal blog that he believed the show would end with four seasons. It would consist of 10 episodes, telling the story of “Dance of the Dragons.”

Seasons 3 and 4 will follow the “Fire & Blood” book events. Later, in a press release, co-creator Ryan Condal revealed that the prequel series will have only two more seasons. The show will conclude with Season 4. However, HBO hasn’t yet commented on this. The network has remained mum, and it remains unclear whether it wraps everything with four seasons.

HBO has yet to cover the entire book series. However, according to reports, HBO is currently working on another prequel to Game of Thrones, “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.” The series will be based on Martin’s other book, Tales of Drunk and Egg, which is set 100 years before the events of Game of Thrones.

Wait, More Feature Films Are On The Way

Although the show is set to end with House Of The Dragon Season 4, Condal shared they will return with more feature films. In an interview, the co-creator shared that they are working on several feature films every season. However, it will take some time to return. They are currently working on bringing some stellar movies every season, which will explain the narrative more properly. As of now, nothing is known about the latest feature film. But we will update you.

House Of The Dragon Season 3 Release Date

Since the series has yet to enter the filming phase, it doesn’t seem like it will return this year. The show will undoubtedly take more time to return. Nothing has been revealed. However, the co-creator has mentioned that the House Of The Dragon Season 3 release date will fall in 2026. The series will return in early 2026. This is a tentative date, and it might change. This is all for now. Stay with TechRadar247 for more such updates.

Who Will Replace Hailey Upton In Chicago P.D. Season 12?

After Tracy Spiridakos’ Detective Hailey Upton left the series, fans wondered who would fill the shoes of the actress.

What Will Happen In Chicago P.D. Season 12?

Season 11 brought many challenges to Detective Hank Voight’s life. Even in the previous season’s finale, a serial killer, Frank Matson (Dennis Flanagan), held him captive. Keeping with tradition, the serial killer asked Voight to call someone he loved so the person could come and save him. However, Voight didn’t take the bait, as he knew how things would move. So, he decided not to call Upton, as she was like his daughter.

But surprisingly, Upton did come to save the detective’s life. This led to a fight between Upton and the serial killer. However, things worked in Voight’s favor, and he paired up with Upton to kill the serial killer. In the end, Voight was rescued, and things ended on a positive note. Now, Chicago P.D.

You dropped its fourth season in February 2023, and within a month, Netflix announced You Season 5. Well, there’s no denying that the show is one of the flagship series on the streaming platform.

Badgley thinks Joe is responsible for everything and shouldn’t be left like this. The actor further added that if the show ended with the fourth season, it would be “somewhat satisfying.” But he thinks it’s better to show Joe’s fall in You Season 5, as it will be a satisfying conclusion for the series.

Lebron talks about staying “mindful” of the trend, and Badgley used the same format to share his last day on set. The actor started the video carrying garment bags, saying, “See how I show up to work? Very demure, very mindful.” He said he didn’t do much when he was at work. “I’m very mindful,” Badgley continued. “Playing a romantic icon for five seasons, I’m very modest, I’m very mindful… You see my shirt? Showing the shoulders, not the boulders,” the actor concluded.

Who Will Be In You Season 5 Cast?

Without any doubt, it’s safe to say that Penn Badgley will continue leading You as Joe Goldberg. Since we have seen in the past few seasons that he usually finds himself in a new place among new people, it won’t be surprising if the same happens in You Season 5. In early March 2024, the production committee announced that The Handmaid’s Tale’s Madeline Brewer would join the show as Bronte.

Bronte is a free-spirited and enigmatic playwright who will work at Joe’s bookstore. Her backstory will give Joe nostalgia, forcing him to question everything he has done before. Besides her, Anna Camp and Griffin Matthews will join You Season 5 as the series regulars. Anna Camp will join as Joe’s twin sister-in-laws, Raegan and Maddie Lockwood.

Variety reported that Maddie is a thrice-divorced socialite who works as ‘vaguely PR’ and a manipulator. Meanwhile, Raegan is the cunning, cutthroat CFO of the family business Lockwood Corp. She only eyes the throne and doesn’t care much about people who come in between. As for Matthews, he will join You Season 5 as Teddy Lockwood, Joe’s brother-in-law.

Parks & Recreation’s Pete Ploszek, Station 19′s b, and Sunset Boulevard’s Tom Francis will also join the show’s fifth season. Ploszek will play a former football player and Raegan’s husband, Harrison. b will join as Phoenix and Francis as aspiring author Clayton. Natasha Behnam will join as Dominique. Baby Reindeer‘s Nava Mau will join Season 5 as Detective Marquez.

What Will Happen In You Season 5?

Gamble and Penn have already confirmed that things are going to be dramatic as Joe is back in New York, suggesting everything will be full circle now. The fourth season’s finale cleared everything when Joe revealed his murderous identity and past to his girlfriend Kate (Ritchie). Surprisingly, she accepted his past and vowed to protect him.

With Kate’s help, Joe returns to New York with a clean record. According to the new narrative, he survived a violent partner (Love Quinn) and now wants the world to accept him. With Kate by his side, Joe is untouchable and even confirms that continuing his killing spree will be easy. However, You Season 5 can turn challenging when Kate learns that Joe is behind her father’s murder.

Now that Joe is back in New York and part of the circle he used to hate, it seems like the storyline will take a new turn. On the other hand, there’s a possibility Nadia will return. Joe sent her behind bars for her boyfriend’s murder, which she hadn’t committed.

But there’s a chance that she will escape prison and return to take her revenge. This would be a perfect arc to conclude his storyline. Further, Gamble shared that Joe would face his worst enemy when someone from the past returned to mess with him. Apart from this, Marienne might return as well. Her story isn’t yet concluded, and it will be intriguing to see how Joe deals with everything.

Is You Season 5 The Last Season?

Sadly, yes! Badgley previously told British GQ that the series co-creator Greg Berlanti teased a few years ago how things would end. However, one thing is sure: The series will return with a grand finale. Meanwhile, Vice President of Scripted Series, Netflix US, and Canada Peter Friedlander said they are excited to return with You Season 5. Still, unfortunately, the season will be the last season of the series, marking the end of Joe’s journey.

You Season 5 Release Date

As of now, things remain unclear. That’s because there’s no concrete date to share about the You Season 5 release date. A month ago, the series announced, “It’s a wrap.” Filming for the fifth season is wrapped up, but the series is in post-production. That means it will take a few more months to wrap up everything. Meanwhile, it remains unclear whether Netflix will return with a split season like the fourth run. Nothing is known to date, but Season 5 might return in 2025. This is all for now.
