We have all been aglow with nostalgic feels this week with photos and videos of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer 20th Anniversary reunion photo shoot, thanks to Entertainment Weekly. Of course, seeing everyone together like that just made many of us hardcore Buffy fans wonder just what it would take to get a proper revival of the series going. (And we here at Nerdist might have even had some ideas on the subject recently.)
These days, almost every major property with a devoted fan base is coming back in some capacity, usually in the form of an “event series”—which is a fancy way of saying “slightly longer/fancier miniseries.” X-Files, Twin Peaks, Gilmore Girls, Arrested Development, all of these series have returned in some form this way. So when is it Buffy and the Scooby Gang’s turn?
One thing’s for sure, and James Marsters (Spike) summed it best: “I think if Joss is helming it, then hell yeah. If not, then hell no.” As Joss Whedon’s idol Stan Lee is fond of saying: ’nuff said.
What do you think about a potential Buffy reunion? Yay or nay? Chime in down below with your thoughts on the subject.
