Buffy - Slayers Audio Series Confirmed

Well, I didn't expect this news to drop today but looks like the world of Buffy The Vampire Slayer has gotten a little reprieve.

An audio series titled, Slayers: A Buffyverse Story will see many of the original cast return in a series of stories set twenty years after the events of series finale, Chosen. In a twist though, it'll be led by Spike (James Matters) in a heroic role.

The other returning characters and cast members will include Rupert Giles (Anthony Head), Cordelia Chase (Charisma Carpenter), Anya Jenkins (Emma Caulfield), Tara McClay (Amber Benson), Jonathan Levinson (Danny Strong), Drusilla (Juliet Landau) and Clem (James Charles Leary). They will be also joined by newcomer Laya DeLeon Hayes.

The story itself revolves around Spike deep undercover in Los Angeles and meeting a young slayer named Indira Nunally (Hayes) as they're placed in a parallel reality where Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) never existed and Cordelia Chase (Carpenter) is the one and only Slayer. Oh and the Big Bad happens to be Drusilla. 

The series will be written by Amber Benson and Christopher Golden, the latter who wrote a lot of books for the series back in the day. Benson and Golden also directed the series along with Kc Wayland.

For years there's been attempts to get some type of continuation in the Buffyverse and now we've got one. I'm really happy with this development. Hopefully if a second run happens we get more cast members to come back as well. 

Slayers: A Buffyverse Story will premiere October 12th on Audible while a panel will focus on the series at NYCC from October 13th at 1.30pm.
