David Boreanaz Teases Some Sort of “Angel” Reunion; “We May Have Something in the Works”
We know that “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” is getting a small screen reboot (without Sarah Michelle Gellar, sadly), but what about spinoff series “Angel”? The five-season series starred David Boreanaz as the title character, a 200-year-old vampire, and twenty years after the show’s premiere, the actor teases this week that *something* is currently in the works…
“We’re coming up on 20 years. I mean, that’s amazing to have been blessed with a show like that and that’s where I really started my gig — in this acting world,” Boreanaz said on “The Talk” today. “I love that character.”
He added, “So, I will say there may be something coming up. I don’t want to give away a lot. I can say, it’s 20 years coming up this fall and we may have something in the works.”
“Angel” aired on The WB from October 5, 1999, to May 19, 2004.
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is reteaming with Starz on a TV series adaptation of supernatural crime graphic novel Bone Parish, Deadline reports.
Diane Ademu-John (Dune: Prophecy) and Declan de Barra (The Witcher: Blood Origin) will co-showrun the project and executive produce.
The show’s logline reads: “In the dark underworld of New Orleans, the Winters family builds an empire around a powerful new drug—crafted from the ashes of the dead—that grants users vivid, haunting visions of the past. But as demand surges, rival factions, deadly secrets, and supernatural forces close in, pulling them deeper into a violent and inescapable nightmare of crime, horror, and family legacy.”
The graphic novel by writer Cullen Bunn (The Empty Man) and artist Jonas Scharf was published by BOOM! Studios; the publisher’s Stephen Christy and Mette Norkjaer will executive produce.
“I’ve always been drawn to stories that break the mold, and Bone Parish does exactly that. It takes crime, family, and power, and mixes it with something dark and supernatural, in a way that feels fresh. Exploring what happens when the world of the living gets mixed up with the world of the dead, this story has incredible depth, and we’re building a series that’s going to keep audiences locked in from the first episode,” Jackson said in a statement.
“We love going on new journeys with Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson, and this one is unlike anything we’ve done before: a world steeped in horror and the supernatural, but still grounded in the family and crime storytelling our audience can’t get enough of. It’s a wild, bold swing, and exactly the kind of risk we want to be taking,” said Kathryn Busby, President, Original Programming at Starz.
