It might not come as a surprise to many of you, but here at Nerdist HQ, we\u2019re particularly interested in what The Vampire Lestat has in store for Armand, Daniel, and, of course, the romantic relationship between them, known as Devil\u2019s Minion. Devil\u2019s Minion is a romance that\u2019s canon to the Anne Rice books<\/a>. And so, after two seasons of meaningful gazes, surprise flashbacks, and one vampiric turning, eager fans have been patiently hoping to see the love between Armand and Daniel<\/a> bloom in full force on our screens this year. But what does The Vampire Lestat have in store for DM<\/a>? The showrunner of The Vampire Lestat, Rolin Jones, and stars Assad Zaman and Eric Bogosian, who play Armand and Daniel, respectively, gave us a SLEW of insights. And these teases of what\u2019s to come have us feeling pretty excited for the future of Devil\u2019s Minion. You can check them out below.<\/p>\n Nerdist: We know the love between vampires can be many things. Or it can be one thing. As far as a romantic thing, where are Armand and Daniel (or Devil\u2019s Minion) this season?<\/strong><\/p>\n Rolin Jones:<\/strong> I think we\u2019re in a very good place. That\u2019s what I think. The old DM, right, has been hurtled at me right from day one at Comic-Con. When we were first coming out, even, and nobody had seen anything yet. People were coming to the microphone, going, \u201cWhere is this?\u201d We have been writing it from the beginning. We are continuing to write it, and we\u2019re right there now. And so, just like everything else, have patience; we will try to beat your expectations.<\/p>\n Eric Bogosian: <\/strong>Romantically? It\u2019s problematic.<\/p>\n Assad Zaman: <\/strong>Problematic is the word. Problematic. It\u2019s just problematic.<\/p>\n Eric Bogosian: <\/strong>We\u2019ve come up with a lot of different metaphors for what it could be. One of the ones I like currently, that I\u2019m sort of meditating on, is when you have a thing for somebody a long time ago, let\u2019s say in high school, and then you run into that same person decades later, and you still feel that way, but they\u2019re not the same person. They\u2019re a different person. This is at the core of this whole show, and all the characters, the question of, \u201cWhat is a person? A person is their history, or what they think their history is, and doesn\u2019t everybody rewrite their own personal history? There is no objectivity. It\u2019s this constantly changing thing, and definitely, Daniel is going through a changing thing in this season. How does a love manifest itself? Well, we\u2019re working on that.<\/p>\n![\"Armand](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Armand-and-Daniel-in-The-Vampire-Lestat-1.webp\")
