\u201cF**k you, you ho. I don\u2019t want you back.\u201d One of the most explicit, cathartic, messy breakup songs of the early 2000s, plus its musical response that has just as much bite, are the song references Jacob Anderson<\/a> uses to describe how rockstar Lestat\u2019s music impacts Louis and Lestat\u2019s relationship in Interview With the Vampire<\/a> Season 3, premiering in 2026 on AMC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sitting between Sam Reid<\/a> (Lestat, now a famous musician) and their costar, Eric Bogosian<\/a> (Daniel, now a fledgling vampire), in TV Insider and TV Guide Magazine\u2019s San Diego Comic-Con 2025<\/a> studio on July 25, Anderson (Louis, companion enough for himself right now) brings up the iconically profane R&B track Eamon released as his debut single in 2003, \u201cF**k It (I Don\u2019t Want You Back)<\/a>.\u201d In 2004, Frankee released an equally iconic response song, \u201cF.U.R.B. (F U Right Back)<\/a>,\u201d as her debut single (the two singers never actually dated), and few breakup songs have been able to produce as much petty catharsis for listeners in the time since.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you remember Frankee and Eamon?\u201d Anderson asks TV Insider as he hums the tune, \u201c\u2018[F. U., you ho], I don\u2019t want you back,\u201d adding, \u201cAnd then \u2018F. U. Right Back\u2019 was like the response. It\u2019s like that, but vampires.\u201d<\/p>\n

This answer capped off Reid\u2019s, who had just explained how Lestat\u2019s music is a direct response to Louis and Daniel\u2019s memoir, but in a way to avoid exposing how fame specifically affects Louis and Lestat\u2019s relationship in the third season (we hit a spoiler nerve with that particular question). Reid says that Lestat\u2019s music is in \u201csome degree a response\u201d to the book and \u201caffects their relationship quite greatly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a pertinent, kind of physical barrier that perhaps they carry,\u201d Reid adds, trying to repress a laugh, as do Anderson, Bogosian, showrunner Rolin Jones<\/a>, and executive producer Mark Johnson<\/a>. Bogosian clarifies, \u201cWe\u2019re laughing a lot because there\u2019s all these things we\u2019re not supposed to talk about and we keep dancing around it.\u201d It seems we\u2019re onto something with this line of questioning.<\/p>\n

Due to Armand\u2019s (Assad Zaman<\/a>) \u201cseismic lie\u201d about the trial in 1940s Paris, Louis and Lestat spent seven decades apart. They reunited in a standout scene in the Season 2 finale<\/a> set in 2022 that gave the characters space to grieve the murdered Claudia (Delainey Hayles<\/a>), their vampire daughter, together for the first time. Some time has passed since that last meeting when Season 3 picks up, and the lyrics from Lestat\u2019s first song, \u201cLong Face\u201d (which was debuted at SDCC 2024<\/a>), imply a messy situationship has formed between the exes between seasons. Add newfound fame for both of these bloodsuckers into the mix \u2014 and the Frankee and Eamon tracks as inspiration \u2014 and you have a recipe for a sublimely chaotic, it\u2019s-complicated-as-hell era for these immortals.<\/p>\n

Interview With the Vampire Season 3 is not a musical, but the music is diegetic. The tracks are literally the soundtrack of Lestat\u2019s long life, with Jones saying above that we will see \u201cthe messiest three, four months of his entire existence.\u201d The tunes are a key piece of the storytelling; the lyrics and even Lestat\u2019s melodic choices will reveal details about his inner world.<\/p>\n

The details of Interview With the Vampire Season 3 are being kept under tight lock and key, but Jones does share, \u201cI feel very confident we have one of the great soundtracks that has ever been made.\u201d The Frankee and Eamon mention only makes us more confident that the team knows exactly what they\u2019re doing with this big swing. Composer Daniel Hart is making all of the songs. Anderson, known to the music world as Raleigh Ritchie, comments on his potential involvement in the music production above as well.<\/p>\n

Fans will get some thrilling updates, including casting announcements, on Interview With the Vampire Season 3 during the Anne Rice Immortal Universe panel<\/a> taking place today, July 26, at 4:30 p.m. PT in Ballroom 20 at San Diego Comic-Con. The panel, and sibling series Talamasca<\/a>\u2018s, is moderated by TV Insider\u2019s own Damian Holbrook.<\/p>\n
