![]() “Honestly there’s not a show that feels like Outer Banks ,” she starts. ![]() ![]() It hits home for me.”įor now, Bailey is content to watch Outer Banks and her various other projects grow. “Being adopted and having lost a parent, I connect with the story surprisingly well. “I feel pretty close to the show as a whole,” she details. She recently began a recurring role on NBC’s Council of Dads, a show with which she says she feels a strong bond. Outer Banks isn’t the only thing Bailey has on her plate. “I’m excited to just see how the relationships play out.” “We left a lot of things open-ended in Kie’s love life,” she teases. I want more of her getting passionate about everything she stands for.” And then there’s the other big question on fans’ minds. Her concerns for her own character are a little more practical: “I hope to touch more on her home life and get a deeper look into what it looks like to be a Pogue in a Kook home. It’s never talked about, it just adds depth, and it was fun to make.”īailey isn’t sure what another series of Outer Banks may bring, but she’s pretty clear about what she wants to see in series two: “Revenge, revenge, and more revenge,” she insists. “It just helps to make her a real person.

Starring in Outer Banks, an experience Bailey describes as “more like a family vacation than a full-on production”, has proven her most life-changing work to date. “I’ve always been a bit of a performer with singing, so it makes sense I’d end up becoming an actress.” As her auditions mounted, she found more and more success, landed occasional features before her first recurring role on The CW’s Black Lighting. “I first knew I wanted to act in high school after doing a musical my freshman year. My parents know nothing about this industry, but they will always get behind me and push no matter what - driving me from NC to Atlanta for an audition with no questions asked. “They have always supported every single thing I’ve wanted to do. Bailey is the youngest of seven siblings. “ my greatest source of inspiration,” she details. However, Bailey is staying balanced, thanks in large part to the continuing support of her family. Keeping a level head in the present moment is already a considerable task add newfound fame to the equation and getting overwhelmed seems like an inevitability. “My family is so proud of me,” Bailey shares of her experience on the show. ![]() While a second series hasn’t yet been officially announced, the first series’ success has rocketed its principal actors to stardom in just a single month, Bailey has gone from just over 150k Instagram followers to nearly two million.
