Lestat & Rowan’s Immortal Universe Crossover Can Still Happen (Despite Their Book Endgames)
Lestat De Lioncourt And Rowan Mayfair May Meet
In one of Anne Rice ’s more litigious move , she pairedThe Vampire Chronicles ' primary part , Lestat , withLives of the Mayfair Witches’main character , Rowan . This will sound odd to viewers of the shows who have n’t read the books . Rowan inMayfair Witchesseason 1 was enjoying her pregnant kinship with Ciprien Grieves , whereasInterview with the Vampireseason 2left Lestat only just starting to make amends with his on / off lover , Louis . In the books , these relationship are endgames - Ciprien replacing a eccentric called Michael notwithstanding . There does n’t seem like much place for Rowan and Lestatto get together .
Mayfair Witchesseason 2 will be released in 2025 , as substantiate at SDCC .
Despite this , the two characters hit it off in one of thebooks inThe Vampire Chroniclesnearer to the end of the series .

Lestat Is Polyamorous So Rowan Could be A Fling
An Affair With Rowan Won’t Get In Louis' Way
The characters ofThe Vampire ChroniclesandLives of the Mayfair Witchesdon’t seem to have the same monogamy average that is dominant outside of Anne Rice novels , soRowan ’s involvement with Lestat does n’t need to spell the end for Lestat and Louis . Mayfair Witches’original character Ciprien is o.k. but forgettable , so the future that he may share with Rowan does n’t sense like a high - interest situation worth concern about .
Alexandra Daddario herself commented at the SDCC panel that she is " down for vampires . "
It could make for a fun , suspense - grueling episode in either show for Lestat and Rowan to relish a steamy diversion in each other ’s arms . This would work best as a set piece and one - off whereby the two characters were used as a hydrofoil for each other ’s several paramours . After all , no one look any kinship involving Lestat or Rowan to be fluid gliding .

Rowan Is No Match For Lestat In Immortal Universe
Mayfair Witches Needs To Up Its Game
The elephant in the elbow room of this crossover is thatInterview with the Vampireis amazing , andMayfair Witchesis just not quite that . Mayfair Witchesis merriment , enjoyable , and passes the time , but it ’s not changing the game , breaking new ground , or doing something crucial in TV , like its predecessor . audience with the Vampireset the bar regrettably high forMayfair Witches . Against Sam Reid ’s Lestat , Rowan never stand a hazard .
Daddario ticks certain boxes , but Scripture Rowan was " boyish , " with short , white - blond hair and a " husky " voice - that sounds like at least a start in term of a match for Lestat , if not an remainder . Not because adjustment should be faithful , and nothing else , but because this Rowan go the mold inwardly and out . She was brave and unique , whereasthe show sanitized her into a conventionally soundly - looking , standard sexy witch . Interview with the Vampireworked so well because it made its character even more radical than they were in the Word , not less . Anne Rice would have approved .
It did n’t aid that Rowan suffer from some questionable writing in the show , drifting into a complimentary , incestuous sex dream and picture no restraint around Lasher whatsoever , with none of the intriguing account that the books render for these valid moment . There ’s great source textile forMayfair Witchesto adapt and AMC+ clearly have it in them to make bluff moves , so a abbreviated Rowan - Lestat import could work ifMayfair Witchescan take note fromInterview with the Vampire . But even then , Rowan and Lestat need to stick out well clear of each other ’s endgames .
