Justin Kirk as Raglan James (?) The Vampire Lestat (2026) — Episode 1

Prince Felix Yusupov wearing a boyar Russian costume at a ball in the Royal Albert Hall, 1912. His costume was made in St. Petersburg made especially for him; a velvet caftan made of gold brocade with embroidery, gilded and silver threads and diamonds with a matching multi-coloured leather boots. In 1909, prince Yusupov arrived in England as a student and studied at the University of Oxford until 1912. Student life helped the prince to respire; he gladly got acquainted with young people of different nationalities from all over the world. People attracted the prince much more than studies. During his first year, he founded the Russian Society of the University of Oxford, which still exists today — this organisation supports Russian students and spreads information about Russian culture. After spending a year in student rooms, the prince began renting a flat in the city and regained his former glory as a playboy: piano concerts and parties were a constant presence at his place. Felix began attending balls and masquerades in Paris and London. After the costume ball at the Royal Albert Hall, where the prince made a splash with a spectacular 16th-century brocade caftan, he attracted the attention of all London newspapers. At the Royal Opera House, Yusupov enjoyed performances of Sergei Diaghilev’s ballet troupe and knew many artists personally, while his friendship with the famous “Russian swan” Anna Pavlova bore a confidential manner — of two people, who understand each other perfectly. However, the main treasure awaited Felix back in Russia. On one of Felix’s visits to his homeland, the prince met his future wife and was captivated by her calmness and gentle, slightly tragic beauty.
