Bass will play Claudia, the role that Kirsten Dunst portrayed in the 1994 film adaptation of Anne’s Rice iconic novel. In the film, Claudia was an orphaned child who was turned in the 1700s by Lestat and Louis. The actress will join the previously announced Sem Reid and Jacob Anderson in the cast, with the series set to premiere on AMC+ and AMC sometime next year.

The Interview with the Vampire is an eight-episode series is created, written, and executive produced by Emmy nominee Rolin Jones (Perry Mason), who has also been set as the showrunner. It will also be executive produced by Oscar-winner Mark Johnson, Anne Rice, and Christopher Rice. The project will be part of both Jones and Johnson’s overall deals with AMC Studios.

The story begins in the present day where centuries-old vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac narrates his life to a reporter, starting with when Lestat de Lioncourt turned him into a vampire before going into their life together.

Following the company’s acquisition of the rights of Anne Rice’s book series The Vampire Chronicles and The Lives of the Mayfair Witches, Johnson will reportedly lead AMC’s plans to develop Rice’s collection for television and streaming. AMC’s acquisition deal of the best-selling author’s works encompasses 18 titles between each book series.

The novel was first adapted into the 1994 Oscar-nominated film which was directed by Neil Jordan from a screenplay adapted by Anne Rice. It starred Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Kirsten Dunst, Christian Slater, and Antonio Banderas.
