Bailey Bass will be replaced by Delainey Hayles, who will take on the role for season two, which begins next week in Prague and will also be filmed in Paris and New Orleans.
“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. We are grateful for Bailey’s unforgettable performance in season one and wish her nothing but the best,” the network said in a statement.
Bass (pictured left) made her debut on the first season of AMC's Interview with the Vampire, playing Kirsten Dunst in the 1994 film. Bass also plays the role of Tsireya in James Cameron's blockbuster Avatar: The Way of Water and will reprise this role in the third and future installments of the film.
Hayles (pictured right) has previously appeared in Too Close on ITV and Holby City on the BBC. She joins regular actors Jacob Anderson (Louis de Pointe du Lac), Sam Reid (Lestat de Lioncourt), Eric Bogosian (Daniel Molloy), Assad Zaman (Armand) and Ben Daniels (Santiago).
A contemporary adaptation of Anne Rice's gothic novel Interview with the Vampire, the series follows Louis de Pointe du Lac, Lestat de Lioncourt and Claudia's epic tale of love, gore and the perils of immortality as told to journalist Daniel Molloy. The eight-episode second season is produced by Mark Johnson and showrunner Rolin Jones.
