Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

A new Buffyverse story, Slayers, is coming to Audible next month.

James Marsters, Charisma Carpenter, Anthony Head, Juliet Landau, Emma Caulfield, Amber Benson, James Charles Leary, and Danny Strong return to star in the new series by Christopher Golden and Amber Benson alongside  Laya DeLeon Hayes.

According to Entertainment Weekly, “Spike has gone deep undercover in Los Angeles, convincing the forces of darkness that he’s back to his evil ways. But when his cover is compromised by 16-year-old Indira Nunnally (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 (Sarah Michelle Gellar) never existed, and Cordelia Chase (Carpenter) is the one-and-only Slayer. And Cordelia needs Spike’s help with a classic big bad terrorizing her world… his old flame, Drusilla (Landau).”

According to Rachel Ghiazza, Chief Content Officer at Audible, the series is “a fresh, dynamic take on a cult-classic that takes listeners on a fun and nostalgic ride.” It premieres on October 12, and will feature at New York ComicCon the following day.

Golden exclusively told Sci-Fi Bulletin, “It’s impossible to express how excited I am for fans to finally be able to experience this series. Working with the cast and my fellow directors in the studio, listening and watching as they brought our story to life, is one of the greatest experiences of my professional life. The talent in this cast is just astonishing.”
