Joining them are acting veteran Christopher Heyerdahl as Lestat’s mentor and Armand’s maker Marius de Romanus, while actor and playwright Damien Atkins will play Lestat’s late maker Magnus.

Ugandan-British actress/playwright Sheila Atim has been cast in the key role of Akasha, the Queen of the Damned.

Also onboard are Noah Reid (“Schitt’s Creek”) as Larry, Ryan Kattner (“Destroy All Neighbors”) as Salamander, Seamus Patterson (“Cabinet of Curiosities”) as Alex and Sarah Swire (“The Boys”) as TC.
