Bailey Bass to Play Claudia in "Interview with The Vampire" Series

AMC casts Bailey Bass in the role of Claudia for its "Interview With The Vampire" series adaptation of Anne Rice’s book.

The role was previously played by Kirsten Dunst in the 1994 movie starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt.

Claudia was an orphan child made into a vampire in 1794 by Lestat (Cruise) and Louis (Pitt) in New Orleans.

Bass joins Sam Reid as Lestat de Lioncourt and Jacob Anderson as Louis.

The series consists of 8 episodes and is set to premiere on AMC+ and AMC in 2022.

Rice and her son Christopher will executive produce the project, which comes as a part of the cable network’s deal to adapt 18 of her titles.

Rolin Jones, who co-created and served as showrunner for the first season of HBO’s Perry Mason, is the creator, writer, and showrunner of the series. He is also set to executive produce along with Mark Johnson.

The "Many Saints of Newark" helmer Alan Taylor will direct the first two episodes and is also an executive producer.

She recently wrapped the upcoming holiday feature, "A Jenkins Family Christmas" based on the Broadway-bound hit" Chicken & Biscuits", playing feisty teen La’Trice.

Earlier this year, she tapped a heavily recurring role in NBC’s pilot, "At That Age".
