What's on TV this week—The Vampire Lestat, Every Year After, and Alice And Steve

Welcome to What’s On, our weekly roundup of notable shows. Here is what’s happening on TV from Sunday, June 7 to Saturday, June 13. All times are Eastern.

Interview With The Vampire (AMC and AMC+, Sunday, 9 p.m., season three premiere) AMC’s flagship gothic-horror drama rebrands as Anne Rice’s The Vampire Lestat for its third edition, shifting the narrative from Jacob Anderson’s Louis de Pointe du Lac to Sam Reid’s Lestat de Lioncourt, as the hedonistic vamp reinvents himself as a global rock star in response to his “perfunctory portrayal” in the titular tell-all memoir. Adapting Rice’s 1985 sequel novel, season three serves as a “sexy pilgrimage across space, time, and trauma,” per the network, with the events of the first two seasons revisited from Lestat’s perspective. Along with Reid and Anderson, Eric Bogosian, Assad Zaman, and Delainey Hayles will return to the main cast, and Jennifer Ehle joins as Lestat’s mother Gabriella. Look for The A.V. Club’s recap Sunday night.

Alice And Steve (Hulu, Monday, series premiere) Nicola Walker and Jemaine Clement play our eponymous Alice and Steve, a pair of fiftysomething pals whose decades-long friendship takes a major and messy hit when Steve starts dating Alice’s 26-year-old daughter, Izzy (Yali Topol Margalith). Created and written by Sophie Goodhart (Sex Education, Rivals), the six-part Hulu “wrong-com” follows the implosion of a quarter-century bond and Alice’s desperate attempts to sabotage Steve and Izzy’s relationship for all of their sakes. Joel Fry, Tyrese Eaton-Dyce, Marcia Warren, Eilidh Fisher, and Ebony Aboagye also appear. The A.V. Club‘s review runs Monday. 

Every Year After (Prime Video, Wednesday, series premiere) Continuing Prime Video’s hot streak of page-to-screen romances (Off Campus, The Summer I Turned Pretty), this eight-episode adaptation of Carley Fortune’s best-selling beach read Every Summer After centers on Persephone “Percy” Fraser (Sadie Soverall) and Sam Florek (Matt Cornett), two childhood loves who fell out of touch following a heartbreaking betrayal. They’re pulled back into each other’s orbit when Percy returns to their hometown of Barry’s Bay, Ontario  for a funeral, with the drama alternating between two timelines: the couple’s adolescent past and their angsty present.
