AMC's gothic vampire series has just wrapped up its successful first season, but fans have been hit with the devastating news that Bailey Bass will not be returning for Interview With the Vampire Season 2.

In a statement, the studio announced that despite the "remarkable job" Bass did in bringing the character of Claudia to life, she would not be able to make a comeback for the adaptation of Anne Rice's beloved series.

Claudia's Layered Character Arc

This news is particularly heartbreaking for fans of the novel and series, as Claudia's character arc was a crucial part of the first season. Viewers were given the unique chance to witness Claudia grow from a young child to a teenager and ultimately undergo a transformation at the behest of Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) and Louis du Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson). Bass's portrayal of Claudia was incredible, and her absence will undoubtedly be felt by fans of the series.

Bass expressed her appreciation in a statement, saying, "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."

The upcoming season is set to have all-new locations, including Prague, Paris, and New Orleans. With Breaking Bad's Mark Johnson as the producer, the second season is expected to take audiences on an epic eight-episode run.
