New York Comic Con 2023 – The cast of Slayers: A Buffyverse Story talk about the new audiobook
At this year’s New York Comic Con (2023), I had the chance to sit down and talk with much of the cast of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV show, who have reunited for a new Audible Original series called Slayers!
Slayers: A Buffyverse Story picks up in the Buffyverse 10 years after the events of the final episode. Since then, Spike (James Marsters) has gone deep undercover in LA, convincing the forces of darkness that he’s back to his evil ways. When his cover is compromised by sixteen-year-old Indira Nunnally (Laya DeLeon 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 never existed…a reality where Cordelia Chase (Charisma Carpenter) is the one-and-only Slayer. She needs Spike’s help with a classic big bad terrorizing her world…his old flame, Drusilla (Juliet Landau).
Alongside new cast member Laya Deleon Hayes, we also spoke with James Marsters (Spike), Juliet Landau (Drusilla), Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia), Emma Caulfield (Anya), Amber Benson (Tara, and also co-writer), James Charles Leary (Clem), and writer Christopher Golden.
The group discusses the upcoming audio series, what it’s like revisiting these characters, and much more!
