Bailey Bass No Longer Playing Claudia in AMC’s "INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE"

The second season for AMC’s hit Anne Rice’s “INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE” is fast approaching but one actress will not be returning for her role. After playing the role of Claudia in the show’s first season, Bailey Bass, will bow out reports Deadline this morning.

“Bailey Bass is a talented actor who did a remarkable job bringing the character of Claudia to life in Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire. For a variety of reasons, Delainey Hayles will appear as Claudia in season two,” AMC said in a statement. “We are grateful for Bailey’s unforgettable performance in season one and wish her nothing but the best.”

Bass said in her own statement, “Due to a variety of unforeseen circumstances I’m unable to return to Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire for the second season.

“Playing Claudia has been a dream role and an incredible ride. I wish Delainey the best of luck in taking over. I cannot wait to watch. I’m extremely appreciative of AMC, the producers, Jacob, Sam, the crew and, of course, the wonderful fans.”

Claudia is a very important role in the Vampire Chronicles and on this new show so we’re saddened to hear of Bailey’s departure and wish her nothing but the best in the future.

The series, which debuted last year, is a “modern, unforgettable retelling of Anne Rice’s best-selling novel.” Rolin Jones (“Friday Night Lights”) serves as the showrunner.
