The original cast of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is back together, two decades after the credits rolled on the original series.
Slayers: A Buffyverse Story is a scripted Audible Original Series that takes place 10 years after the events of the final episode. At New York Comic Con (NYCC), Audible held a panel featuring writer, director, and original cast member Amber Benson, writer and director Christopher Golden, and original cast members including Charisma Carpenter, Emma Caulfield Ford, James Charles Leary, Juliet Landau, James Marsters, along with Buffyverse newcomer Laya DeLeon Hayes (Doc McStuffins).

“Spike (James Marsters) has gone deep undercover in Los Angeles, convincing the forces of darkness that he’s back to his evil ways. When his cover is compromised by 16-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).”

Following the panel, attendees were invited to check out “The Slayers Society” activation, an audio-led experience designed to be “a meeting place for existing and wannabe Slayers.” The event included “fortifying beverages” at a Potion Bar, Tarot Reading listening stations, a “magical multiversal portal,” and the opportunity to train like a Slayer for a themed photo op.
