“Working with this cast, the production team, and the folks at Audible UK — and seeing the joy in the fan community —has been one of the happiest experiences of my career. I’m sorry we won’t be able to continue on, but I’m so glad we were able to bring these characters back to you,” he continued.
Amber Benson, who played Tara in the original series and the audiobook and co-wrote/co-directed the project, added via Instagram: “I think Chris speaks for everyone involved — we wish we could have made more! But grateful for what we were able to accomplish with Season One. We worked with the best cast and crew — and felt so loved and supported by @audible & @audible_uk, and the incredible Buffy fans!”
