Longtime Buffy The Vampire Slayer fans know that the iconic story has lived on long past the series finale.
From comics to video games and even a failed animated series, we’ve seen countless extensions of the Buffyverse, but this latest one could be one of the best yet.
Entertainment Weekly revealed an upcoming Audible series called Slayers: A Buffyverse Story. This will be an original audio event set 20 years after the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and we’ll even have some of the cast returning.
The cast for Slayers: A Buffyverse Story will star James Marsters, with Charisma Carpenter, Anthony Head, Juliet Landau, Emma Caulfield, Amber Benson, James Charles Leary, and Danny Strong, as well as newcomer Laya DeLeon Hayes.
Per EW, Slayers “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).”
“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,” Marsters reveals in a recent interview. “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.”
Fans can sink their teeth into Slayers: A Buffyverse Story on Audible this October.
