Running from 1998 to 2003, Buffy the Vampire Slayer was the vampire show the majority of us grew up watching before the days of Twilight. Now it seems as though the story is set to continue thanks to a new Audible sequel series.
Running for five years and spanning 144 episodes, Buffy the Vampire Slayer told the story of Buffy Summers who must juggle being a normal high school student and becoming the vampire and demon hunter she was always meant to be. With the news that it was coming to an end in 2003, fans all over the world were heartbroken and despite a reboot being announced in 2018, it soon ceased development in 2022.

Although we could see a Buffy the Vampire Slayer revival in the future, for now we will have to get our fix thanks to the new Audible sequel series, Slayers: A Buffyverse Story. Announced on the official Audible Twitter account with the tagline, ‘Old friends. Even older enemies’, the series will feature some old characters including Spike, Giles and Cordelia as well as newcomer, Indira Nunnally. Taking place around a decade after the final events of the show, the supernatural series will take place in an alternative universe where Cordelia is the “one and only slayer”.
The teaser posted to Twitter shows Indira played by Laya DeLeon Hayes with voiceovers from Spike (James Marsters), Giles (Anthony Head) and Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter). Although we only see a few seconds of what we can expect, we do know that Indira will be Spike’s Slayer protégé but the two get off on the wrong foot when Indira is only interested in Spike’s connection to Buffy. However, with Indira trying to get to grips with her new powers, the pair must employ the help of Cordelia Chase.
Consisting of nine episodes, the Audible drama is out now and is perfect for both new and old fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
