'Angel' Cast Reunites - See the Stars of the 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' Spinoff Series After 20 Years!

The cast of Angel reunites for their 20th anniversary on the cover of Entertainment Weekly, our on Friday (June 21).

Here’s what David Boreanaz, Charisma Carpenter, Amy Acker, Alexis Denisof, J. August Richards, James Marsters, as well as Buffy creator Joss Whedon and writer David Greenwalt had to say…

Joss Whedon, on the show’s concept: “We started talking in terms of redemption. We realized while Buffy is about the hero’s journey — that ‘becoming the person you are’ that happens in adolescence — Angel is about dealing with the person you’ve been.”

David Boreanaz, on being first called to meet about the spinoff and thinking he was getting fired: “I think we started talking about the Grateful Dead. “Then he’s like, ‘Yeah, we’re thinking about spinning your character off.’ And I’m like ‘alright.’”

Joss Whedon, on the series finale: “I understand why people would want closure, but for me, that would be like adding a cliff note to the end. What I always wanted to say is trying to become worthy of the life that you have, is a life’s work. The fight is for always.”

The 35-year-old actress joined cast mates Coby Bell, Sean Teale, Amy Acker, Grace Byers, Emma Dumont and showrunner Matt Nick on stage to offer fans an inside look at season two, which is currently airing on Fox.

“The two biggest things this year are… there have been some turmoil in the news lately. Something about a divided country. The world of the X-Men is something that reflects a lot of the things that are going on in our world,” Matt explained. “We really wanted to use the show as a window onto what’s going on in our world right now. One of the really exciting things years is to see the rise of a divided country. We’re going to deal with the rise of the Purifiers.”

“The other big thing that’s been fun this year is doing deep dives into our characters,” Matt continued. “We’re going to meet young Polaris this year. We’re going to see the history of the Frosts, or the Stepford Cuckoos. We get to see the background and where the people are coming from for everyone on stage… Really focusing on the characters and what they want and who they are.”
