Sept. 13 (UPI) — Audible has announced the upcoming release of Slayers: A Buffyverse Story, an original scripted audio series that will feature beloved stars from the iconic TV show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The series is set to launch on October 12, coinciding with the 20th anniversary of the show’s finale, although the story itself will take place a decade after the conclusion of the original series.
Created and written by Amber Benson and Christopher Golden, and directed by Benson, Golden, and Kc Wayland, this exciting new addition to the horror-dramedy franchise will reunite Benson with her former co-stars James Marsters, Charisma Carpenter, Anthony Head, Juliet Landau, Emma Caulfield, James Charles Leary, and Danny Strong.
The narrative follows Spike (James Marsters), who has assumed a deep undercover role in Los Angeles, successfully convincing the forces of darkness that he has returned to his malevolent ways. However, when his cover is compromised by 16-year-old Indira Nunnally (Laya DeLeon Hayes), Spike is forced to once again take on the duty of caring for a fledgling slayer. As he endeavors to find a watcher for his eager new protégé, their journey intertwines with that of a veteran Slayer from a parallel reality where Buffy Summers never existed. In this alternate dimension, Cordelia Chase (Charisma Carpenter) is the one-and-only chosen Slayer. The storyline unfurls as Spike must confront his old flame, Drusilla (Juliet Landau), who has become a classic big bad and poses a terror to Cordelia’s world.
In addition to the release of the audio series, the stars are also scheduled to reunite at New York Comic Con in the following month. However, fans of the original series may notice the absence of Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy), Alyson Hannigan (Willow), David Boreanaz (Angel), Nicholas Brendon (Xander), Michelle Trachtenberg (Dawn), and Seth Green (Oz) from the lineup of the audio series and planned Comic Con appearance.
Expressing his enthusiasm for the project, James Marsters said, “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 filled with horror, passion, and mischief. I’m excited for both loyal and new fans to experience this beloved world of vampire slaying like never before, brought to life through immersive audio storytelling.”
