View Collection Here
NEW YORK, May 26, 2026 – AMC Global Media and renowned Spanish designer PALOMO today announced the global launch of a special capsule collection inspired by The Vampire Lestat, which debuts Sunday, June 7 on AMC and AMC+. The collection, THE VAMPIRE LESTAT x PALOMO, consists of 16 unique pieces and reinterprets some of PALOMO’s most recognizable looks, incorporating the themes and aesthetic of the series with a contemporary vision of gothic romanticism, drama and sensuality. THE VAMPIRE LESTAT x PALOMO capsule collection will be available beginning Tuesday, May 26 on the brand’s official website, https://palomospain.com/
For the collection, which includes jackets, vests, dresses, capes, and more, Alejandro Gómez Palomo revisits some of the brand’s most representative silhouettes, fabrics and decorative elements, rendering them through the visual and emotional lens of the series. Lace, embroidery, sculptural tailoring, and dramatic volumes shape a proposal that blends historical references with a contemporary sensibility.
“Designing this capsule for The Vampire Lestat became an exploration of a shared universe, where the theatrical language of PALOMO meets Lestat’s magnetic, provocative spirit. There’s an instinctive dialogue between the brand’s romantic, expressive identity and his emotional complexity, each piece telling a story that blurs the boundary between fashion and character, elegance and rebellion.” says Alejandro Gómez Palomo, Founder and Creative Director of PALOMO.
“The opportunity to marry a series with such strong global appeal with an international designer who is driving fashion and culture today, really excited us,” said Kim Granito, Chief Marketing Officer for AMC Global Media. “PALOMO’s capsule collection is a celebration of style, identity, and the lush, provocative world of the series that feels as daring and unforgettable as Lestat himself.”
Said Maurizio Vitale, Head of Marketing, Streaming and Brand Strategy at AMC Global Media Iberia & Latin America: “THE VAMPIRE LESTAT x PALOMO demonstrates the natural connection between Lestat’s emotional and theatrical universe and Palomo’s creativity. It is significant that this collaboration was born in Spain together with one of the most unique and influential designers in international fashion, demonstrating how Spanish talent can reinterpret a global franchise in a contemporary, sophisticated, and culturally relevant way.”
In the new rock and roll centric season, titled The Vampire Lestat, Lestat (Sam Reid) 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.

AMC Global Media and Chris Hardwick Announce Partnership on Relaunch of “I Think You’re Overthinking It” Podcast
The Vodcast will Consist of 12 Episodes with Weekly Guests Including Billy Magnussen, Alison Brie, Jason Ritter, Nathan Fillion, Eli Roth, Lamorne Morris and More

NEW YORK – May 18, 2026 – AMC Global Media and Host, Comedian and Podcast pioneer Chris Hardwick today announced a new partnership on the relaunch of the “I Think You’re Overthinking It” podcast which focuses on pop culture, movies, TV, music, comedy and more, all through the lens of overthinking. The audio and video podcast, which tapes in Los Angeles will feature weekly guests, including Billy Magnussen (The Audacity, Lilo & Stitch), Alison Brie (Glow, Community) Nathan Fillion (The Rookie, Castle), Jason Ritter (Matlock, Captain Fall), Eli Roth (Ice Cream Man, Borderlands), and Lamorne Morris (New Girl, Fargo) with more to be announced. ”I Think You’re Overthinking It” vodcast consists of 12 hour-long episodes and will be available weekly across AMC Global Media’s broader distribution system, including AMC+, All Reality, FAST channels, YouTube and digital/podcast platforms, beginning Sunday, May 31.
In this vodcast series, comedian and pop culture enthusiast Hardwick invites friends and fellow celebrities for deep-dive, free-flowing conversations that explore the intersection of personal hobbies, life lessons, and the obsessive side of fandom—all while attempting to navigate the beautiful, neurotic mess of overthinking everything.
“We are delighted to collaborate and reunite with Chris, who has an unmatched ability to tap into the heart of pop culture – whether its music, movies, TV and all the wonderful corners of fandom – and turn that curiosity into smart, entertaining conversation,” said Ben Davis, EVP of scripted programming for AMC Global Media. “This podcast is a natural extension of the world our audiences love, and we couldn’t be more excited to bring his voice and perspective back into the AMC Global Media family.”
“AMC and I had been looking for the right way to work together again after ‘Talking Dead’ wrapped in 2022 and this felt like a natural fit. I stepped away from podcasting that same year for a bit during a parenting hiatus, and when I brought the show back last year, it evolved into ‘I Think You’re Overthinking It.’ The podcast has always been rooted in conversations about curiosity, anxiety, fandom, creativity, all the ways our brains can spiral when we care deeply about something, and how to get out of our own way. When AMC saw an opportunity to expand it into a video series, it felt like the perfect next step,” said Hardwick.
The podcast is a co-production with AMC Studios and ID1OT with Drama 3/4 producing.
Hardwick previously hosted AMC Global Media’s Emmy-nominated series Talking Dead, the long-running after-show for The Walking Dead franchise, where he discussed the latest episode with cast members, show producers, fans and other actors. Talking Dead is available on AMC+.
About Chris Hardwick
Chris Hardwick is a comedian, actor, TV host, author, writer, producer, and pop-culture enthusiast best known for hosting the two-time Emmy Award–winning Comedy Central series @midnight, which ran for 600 episodes.
Hardwick recently returned to podcasting with I Think You’re Overthinking It, a reimagining of his longtime show. The new title reflects his ongoing relationship with anxiety, over-analysis, and the mental spirals that come from thinking just a little too much about everything. Through conversations and comedy, he digs into how people can quiet the noise, try new things later in life, and avoid talking themselves out of the goals that matter. The podcast keeps the loose, conversational tone of the original while focusing more directly on creativity, overthinking, and navigating an always-on world.
Hardwick also currently hosts NBC’s The Wall, which returns August 19th with new episodes. The series was also recently nominated for a 2026 Critics Choice Real TV Award for Best Game Show. He serves as an executive producer on the series alongside LeBron James, Maverick Carter, and Andrew Glassman. His past hosting credits include the Emmy-nominated Talking Dead, the long-running after-show for The Walking Dead franchise, and the CW’s Up for Auction, co-produced with Brian Volk-Weiss’ Nacelle Company.
Hardwick recently entered his sixteenth-year podcasting and has featured an impressive roster of guests including Sir Paul McCartney, Jordan Peele, Tom Hanks, Guillermo del Toro, Jamie Lee Curtis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Joaquin Phoenix, Jodie Foster, Colman Domingo, and Tina Fey.
Hardwick is also one of today’s most active touring comedians and continues to perform stand-up across the United States. Hardwick’s new comedy special “The Middle Ages” will be released later this year with 800 Pound Gorilla Media.
He lives in California with his wife, Lydia, and their daughter, Dimity.

Listen Now: HERE
Watch/Share New Promo Featuring “Butterscotch Bitch” HERE
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.”

Good Things Come in Threes: Exclusive First Look at Groundbreaking New Original Unscripted Series This is Poly Premiering Friday, May 29 on We TV and All Reality
Series Explores the Real Lives of Modern Polyamorous Relationships
New York, NY – May 12, 2026 – We TV and All Reality today shared an exclusive first look at This Is Poly, a new, unscripted series exploring the real lives of modern polyamorous relationships. The eight-episode series takes a first-of-its-kind look at the world of polyamory, following the lives of five wildly different polycules, interconnected groups of people in polyamorous relationships. As they build lives and families outside traditional norms, the series dives into the emotional realities of jealousy, commitment, communication and trust, testing every rule of love and redefining what it means to be a family. This Is Poly premieres Friday, May 29 at 9:30 PM ET/PT, immediately following the season premiere of Love After Lockup at 8pm ET/PT.
In the first 12 minutes, Kami and Trent open up about their journey into polyamory with Nita as they prepare for a major milestone: their “coming out” announcement. While their children are already aware of the relationship — and one daughter is navigating a poly relationship of her own — the rest of their friends and extended family remain unaware of this new dynamic. Then, we shift to the Yahwehs, who offer a dramatically different expression of polyamory. Their household includes one king, four queens, 17 children, and even more babies on the way — all living together under one roof.
This is Poly is produced by InventTV. Executive Producers are Sergio Alfaro, Tiffany Alfaro, Jason Graham and Shahram Qureshi.
This Is Poly premieres immediately following an all‑new season of the wildly popular Love After Lockup, where couples navigate challenges as one partner reenters life on the outside after incarceration. Viewers will first meet Kami, Trent, and Nita in the season premiere of Love After Lockup, and their journey continues in This Is Poly, offering a deeper look into their relationship dynamic.
