Several members of the cast of the hit series Buffy the Vampire Slayer reunited to record an upcoming Audible audio drama titled Slayer: A Buffyverse Story. We’ve got a behind the scenes video to share with you today that features James Marsters (Spike), Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia), Anthony Stewart Head (Giles), Amber Benson (Tara), Juliet Landau (Drusilla), and Emma Caulfield Ford (Anya) back together again, and it’s really cool. If you’re a hardcore Buffy fan, you might get a little emotional over it.
The story is set 20 years after the events of the original series, “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.
