SLAYERS: A BUFFYVERSE STORY Podcast Will Bring Back Original Series Cast Members!
There’s a new Buffy the Vampire Slayer project coming in the form of a podcast thanks to Audible. The podcast is titled Slayers: A Buffyverse Story, and it will bring back some of the cast members from the original series!
Entertainment Weekly shared: “Slayers: A Buffyverse Story is an audio original set 20 years after the series finale and features James Marsters reprising his role along with Charisma Carpenter, Anthony Head, Juliet Landau, Emma Caulfield, Amber Benson, James Charles Leary, and Danny Strong, as well as newcomer Laya DeLeon Hayes.”
When it comes to the story, “The Slayers story begins as Spike has gone deep undercover in Los Angeles, convincing the forces of darkness that he’s back to his evil ways. But when his cover is compromised by 16-year-old Indira Nunnally (Hayes), Spike finds himself on baby-slayer-sitting duty once more. While he attempts to track down a watcher for his eager new protégé, their paths collide with the veteran Slayer of a parallel reality where Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) never existed, and Cordelia Chase (Carpenter) is the one-and-only Slayer. And Cordelia needs Spike’s help with a classic big bad terrorizing her world… his old flame, Drusilla (Landau).”
Marsters said in a statement: “I’m ecstatic to be back with my dear friends for this next chapter in the Buffyverse, as we take listeners on a familiar but unexpected journey chock full of horror, passion and mischief. I’m excited for old and new fans to experience this beloved world of vampire slaying like never before, brought to life through immersive audio storytelling.”
The Audio Original was written by Amber Benson and Christopher Golden, and directed by Benson, Golden, and Kc Wayland. You can check out Audible’s teaser artwork below. This sounds like it’s going to be fun for Buffy fans and I’m excited jump in and see how the story plays out.
Slayers: A Buffyverse Story premieres October 12, 2023.
