Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Emma Caulfield hints at the comeback of her character Anya in an upcoming Audible drama. Recently, it was announced that an audio sequel to Buffy centered around Spike, titled Slayers: A Buffyverse Story, would premiere on Audible on October 1. The thrilling drama also brings back Cordelia, Giles, Drusilla, Tara, Clem, and Jonathan. However, not all of these characters, including Anya, who was once Xander's love interest and a former vengeance demon, survived until the end of the original series. On her official Instagram account, Caulfield drops hints about her involvement in the Buffy audio drama.
How Could Anya Return to the Buffyverse?
: She posted a screenshot of the initial Entertainment Weekly report announcing the venture. Alongside the picture, she captioned, "We're making a comeback, folks. Anya's got plenty to share."
Anya's inclusion in any Buffy cast reunion is only logical. With a total of 85 episodes under her belt, she stands as the sixth longest-running character in the series. Introduced as a recurring character in season 3, she eventually ascended to the main cast for seasons 5 through 7. However, a potential obstacle to her return lies in the fact that she met her demise by a sword in the series finale.
Anya's sudden and cruel demise in Buffy canon remains unresolved, although she made an appearance in the subsequent comic, Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Ten. In the comic, she appeared as a ghost and conversed with her former lover, Xander. However, it was later revealed that her appearance was a deception orchestrated by the demon D'Hoffryn. It is unclear whether the comics are deemed canon in the Audible drama. Regardless, the return of Anya still remains a perplexing enigma.
It is conceivable that Anya's death in Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 7 will not be undone in this new storyline either. There are possibilities for her to manifest from the realm of the deceased or be featured in flashbacks. Additionally, considering the fact that the character Buffy has died twice and been resurrected on both occasions, there are numerous supernatural methods for Anya's potential return.
