For fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, there are a lot of question marks floating around. We know that a sequel series is officially in the works with Sarah Michelle Gellar set to reprise her role as the titular sassy and witty slayer, and that she’ll be serving as a mentor to a new young demon hunter played by Ryan Kiera Armstrong. Beyond those two castings, no one else — new or old — has been announced to be joining the call sheet, which has fans all around the globe creating their dream lists for who should and who shouldn’t return for the next installment. Most of us can agree that we’d love to see James Marsters reprise his role as the bleach-blonde British vampire, Spike, and, thanks to a set of comments he made while in attendance at HellMouth Con, it sounds like he’d love to be on board.
According to Nerdist, when asked about the possibility of his return for the follow-up series, Marsters said,
“I’ve been told, in no uncertain terms, that I need to shut my damn mouth. And I would not say that you should take anything from that. It’s just that we are trying…. [Marsters then corrects his pronoun usage] what I will say is that the people behind the camera are some of the best people in Hollywood. Chloe Zhao who is directing the pilot, directed Nomadland, and understands all about intimate character-driven drama. And she also directed a Marvel movie, man! She’s one of the most sought-after directors in Hollywood.
And the showrunners for the show, their current show is Poker Face, which is one of my favorite shows on television. And a screenwriter friend of mine said ‘James, every screenwriter friend of mine is a Buffy fan. A lot of us decided to become screenwriters because of Buffy.’ There is a feeding frenzy in Los Angeles right now, everyone is trying to get on the show, and they are going to have their pick of anybody that they want. So there are a lot of reasons to be excited… but there’s also a good reason to just wait till it’s on television.”
