Charisma Carpenter on Her Potential Return to BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER: "That Would Be My Dream"
Charisma Carpenter made a name for herself playing Cordelia Chase in the series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its subsequent spinoff Angel. She went on to star in many films and shows, but has a soft spot for the franchise, which is making a comeback. While speaking to an audience this past weekend at Indiana Comic-Con, Carpenter shared with fans her own optimism for the return of her character Cordelia Chase. Understanding that the project is still very much in its early stages, Carpenter told the crowd:“I hope so. From what I understand, there isn’t even a pilot at the moment, so I hope — if I am involved — I hope so in some fashion it’s more in a substantive way. That would be my dream.”As of right now, the only original member that’s been confirmed is Sarah Michelle Gellar, who will return to play the starring role. The pilot is set to be helmed by Nomadland and Eternals director Chloé Zhao, with original executive producers Gail Berman, Fran Kuzui, Kaz Kuzui, and Dolly Parton (under her Sandollar Entertainment banner) also making a comeback. Finally, the overall tone of the revamp is already shaping up to be promising, with Poker Face showrunners, Nora and Lilla Zuckerman, signed on to write.Recognizing the promising creatives behind the production, Carpenter continued:“I think it would be very poetic to be invited back, especially having the people that were involved to begin with, the best parts of it, Gail Berman, and then having Chloé Zhao direct — Oscar winner and, in general, badass [Laughs] — and then the Zuck sisters who are incredible writers and then obviously Sarah backing it and I hope to be part of it.”It would be cool to see these fan favorite characters return to their roles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but we will just have to wait and see how the story shakes out. Which characters are you hoping to see return?via: Collider
