Lestat de Lioncourt is about to lash out—right on schedule—when “The Vampire Lestat” swings into its fourth episode of the season.
The AMC series continues on Sunday, June 28 at 9 p.m. with episode 4, titled “The Devil’s Road.” It’s a sharp hour that starts earlier than you might expect: a rerun of “Captain America: the Winter Soldier” is set for 6 p.m., then the series airs at 9 p.m.
If you want to watch it live as it premieres, Philo is the most budget-friendly route. Philo offers a 7-day free trial, and the episode will stream there as it airs. DIRECTV also offers a free trial for live viewing.
Sling is an alternative for people who want to build their own package. There’s no free trial with Sling. but the service is described as offering “tons of customization” at a relatively low price. and AMC content can be paired with AMC+ so you can watch additional material that isn’t as readily available elsewhere.
For those who prefer to watch later—or just want to make sure they can catch everything when it’s convenient—Philo and DIRECTV are again the on-demand options, supported by their free-trial periods. Sling TV remains a customization-focused choice if you’re stacking channels the way you want them.
The series itself is a modern adaptation of “The Vampire Chronicles,” the widely beloved novel series by Anne Rice.
A few practical details make the decision easier. Philo is listed at $33 with a 7-day free trial, while DIRECTV is listed at $74.99 with a free trial. If you’re outside the US. the guidance is to use a VPN to sign up for any of these services and set your location to a US server. ExpressVPN and NordVPN are flagged as safer options, each offering massive discounts and a 100% money-back guarantee within the first 30 days.
Season 3’s trailer is also circulating, courtesy of the IGN Movie Trailers official YouTube channel—setting the tone for the episode titled “The Devil’s Road” as the season continues to build toward what Lestat’s next move might be.
For viewers planning the night: 6 p.m. is “Captain America: the Winter Soldier.” At 9 p.m., it’s “The Vampire Lestat” episode 4 on AMC—live, on Philo or DIRECTV, with Sling available if you’re customizing your setup.

So it starts at 9 but Winter Soldier is at 6 right? I’m confused lol
Wait is Sling actually free or no free trial? The article says no free trial but then makes it sound like you can just watch??
Philo $33 with a 7-day trial seems like the move… but $74.99 for DIRECTV is insane. Also why are they talking about VPN like it’s required? I swear people said you can’t just do that.
I watched the trailer and I’m pretty sure Lestat dies in episode 4? Like that’s what the comments on YouTube were saying so… also Captain America rerun at 6 feels random for a vampire show.
