'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' Cast Reunites After 16 Years, Giving Us Major FOMO
The cast of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" had a mini reunion on Sunday, though two key figures were missing.
Most of the "Scooby gang" was present for a panel at the Wizard World Portland convention, including Alyson Hannigan (Willow), Nicholas Brendon (Xander), Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia), Amber Benson (Tara), and James Marsters (Spike).
Feeling major FOMO, though, was "Buffy" series creator Joss Whedon. And Buffy herself, the Chosen One, Sarah Michelle Gellar was also not present.
Also taking part in the reunion were Julie Benz (Darla), Iyari Limon (Kennedy), James Leary (Clem), Clare Kramer (Glory), Alexis Denisof (Wesley), and Amy Acker (Fred from "Angel").
"Buffy" ran from 1997 to 2003 on first The WB and then UPN. It yielded the spinoff "Angel" and inspired a passionate fandom.
A "Buffy" reboot/reimagining is in the works, with Whedon involved in the project. The potential new take on the show would follow a new Slayer, who would also likely have a new Scooby gang.
