Felicia Day reveals 'Buffy: New Sunnydale' showrunners gauged her interest in returning as the vampire slayer Vi had the series moved forward | "Of course I jumped on it."

I had wondered what they'd do with all the potential Slayers that became full Slayers from Willow's spell, seems like they weren't going to just kill them all off (a Slayer's life seems to be pretty short) to focus on the new girl which would have been good.

Bring back The Guild instead, Felicia Edit: looks like she is, hooray

>Day, who is currently touring behind her first graphic novel, The Lost Daughter of Sparta, wasn’t officially part of the cast of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer: New Sunnydale reboot, but says people behind the show had approached her to gauge her interest in reprising Vi. >“I spoke to the showrunners briefly at a party right after they shot the pilot, and they expressed a hope that everyone from the original cast would return at some point, and asked about my interest,” she says. “And of course I jumped on it.” >“Buffy was my first real TV job, and that experience gave me hope that actors like me who weren't 100% mainstream could actually have a career in Hollywood,” Day says. “It was where I formed friendships that last to this day. It truly influenced my whole career. To have a project that was championed by so many people who loved the characters and story snuffed out is truly sad for fans and creators.” >“The reason I am a public geek now is because of my time on Buffy,” she says. “I'm still friends with many people in the cast. I found a place in Hollywood that felt like I was home, and I would not trade that relationship for the world.” In other Felicia Day news: [She will crowdfund a movie spinoff of The Guild this summer.](https://www.polygon.com/felicia-day-guild-movie-kickstarter/)

Well that’s good. It’s petty but I haven’t liked her since she tried out GTA Roleplay playing on the No Pixel server. She didn’t like it, which is fine, but complained about people playing characters that don’t align with their race or gender which caused a lot of her fans to go after some role players who just didn’t want to deal with it and stopped playing. It’s roleplay. You can be anyone or anything. That’s the point of it.

With every headline, I'm more glad that it was cancelled.

So, we're confirming it's a good thing it was canceled?

I had the BIGGEST crush on her in Buffy. Between her, Clarissa from Clarissa explains it all, and Wynona Rider in well, everything in the early to mid 90s... y'know there really were a lot of solid women roles and actresses in that era that weren't just sexpots or tokenism, even though I still had massive crushes. edit: lol guess I wasnt allowed to have celebrity crushes as a young pre-teen/teen?

I want a Deadpool style leak tbh. Let it stand on its own and let the fans decide.

Not enough billionaires are bringing back great things. If I had a billion dollars, do you know how many show reboots, video game collections, video game reboots/remakes/remasters there would be? Sooo many.

Jfc how much astroturfing can one show do? Shut up already
