FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - May 15, 2026 - The world's first immortal rockstar, Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid), adds another single to his growing repertoire, debuting an opulent ode to himself with "Butterscotch Bitch." The sultry song is the fourth official single released ahead of the highly anticipated premiere of The Vampire Lestat, which debuts Sunday, June 7 on AMC and AMC+.AMC Global Media and Lakeshore Records released the single on the Vampire Lestat artist profile pages at major digital music services, including Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music. "Butterscotch Bitch" follows the Vampire Lestat's recently released singles "All Fall Down," and "Long Face," all of which feature original music and lyrics by series composer Daniel Hart and are performed by Reid. Additionally, a cover version of "Dancing With Myself" was released along with the official trailer.
In the new rock and roll centric season, the Vampire Lestat goes on an electric multi-city tour while being haunted by "muses" from his wild and rebellious past. As his band's popularity and star power rises, so does Lestat's influence over vampires and humans alike, leaving others to contend with Lestat's power in the face of the Great Conversion, an unnatural surge in the vampire population. 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.
Said Daniel Hart: "'Butterscotch Bitch' is, I hope, the song that feels the most like Lestat, as it's the song I wrote with the most knowledge of Lestat under my belt to date. And why not end the songwriting with a song that Lestat wrote about himself? He is, after all, The Lestat-iest Lestat that's ever Lestat-ed."
Said The Vampire Lestat: "Butterscotch Bitch' is, I hope, the song that feels the most like Daniel Hart, as it's the song he wrote on a toilet in between vegan burritos and sessions for his Mother Mary score. May it find a home on Anne Hathaway's rescue dog grooming playlist."
