"I'm just so happy to come back and play Claudia. I love her so much." — DELAINEY HAYLES on the red carpet for The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only live at the Beacon Theatre in New York City.
"I mean, she's also thousands of years old, and you know, is waking up, and the context is pretty crazy. But, yeah, I just had to zone into really the depth of how she was feeling." — SHEILA ATIM on the red carpet for The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only live at the Beacon Theatre in New York City.
Jacob Anderson for EW cover story
As the show explores what makes Lestat tick, Louis will get a new story, one that strays from the source material. Jones felt he had to give Anderson more to do — and the same goes for Delainey Hayles, whose Claudia is back this season, though the "how" is being kept in a locked coffin. (Jones will say that the haunting of the muses is coming "like a f---ing freight train.") What we can say is that Louis isn't quite done grieving his daughter just yet. "Claudia is playing on Louis' mind a lot, and that's something he'll never heal from," Hayles says. "The grief is part of him." "I feel like they so beautifully encapsulated Louis and Claudia's relationship [in season 2,] and I felt like I and Louis got a really definitive sense of closure. And Rolin kept saying to me, even while we were shooting season 2, he was like, 'No, no, there's more there.' And I was like, 'I don't think there is, Rolin.' It took some convincing to get me on board. "It could be a real reboot," he says. "But when we looked at the last image of season 2, we said, 'Seems kinda cute and cuddly, doesn't it? It seems very neat.' We were always looking for, 'How do we drive him back to Lestat?' So we had to put him through something." What exactly they put him through, we can't reveal. But as Anderson adds, "I was shocked. He's having a really, really rough time."
