Good news for Happy Endings fans: There's hope for a comeback.
According to series alum Casey Wilson, "they've actually tried to bring it back a time or two." As for the holdup? Everyone who was previously involved in the sitcom — including Wilson's husband, series creator David Caspe — are "scattered about under different deals and doing different shows," the actress tells PEOPLE.
"I'm happy to report they've tried to bring it back. It just kind of hasn't worked out to everyone's utter devastation," the Shrink Next Door star continues. "I think there's hope for it, yes. ... I would love to do it."
ABC canceled Happy Endings in 2013 after three seasons. The Chicago-set series followed a group of six friends navigating the ups and downs of life together after one of them leaves their partner at the altar.
There are a couple of elements Wilson, 41, hopes for in a possible Happy Endings revival. First up, she jokes, "I hope Penny would still be alive. Although, I'm not sure."
"It's funny, [my former costar] Adam [Pally] and I, we were just talking [about it]," she continues. "We were saying we wish if we ever did a remake, maybe we'd do a movie and then just selfishly, kind of like The White Lotus, set it at the Four Seasons in Hawaii. We'll just be forced against our will to film there over a summer."
"Adam and I are strangely invested in the location," she continues. "But of course, the work comes first. We'll settle for Turks and Caicos, Cozumel. We're not picky!"
The Happy Endings cast also included Damon Wayans Jr., Elisha Cuthbert, Eliza Coupe and Zachary Knighton.
"I remember the last day that we were filming, we didn't know it would be the last day. But I just had this feeling. I was like, 'God, I don't know.' I just felt like, 'I don't think I'm going to see everyone as much after today,'" Wilson recalls. "I was so sad in the car. Because some experiences, you're nostalgic for them while they're happening, even. You're like, 'I don't need distance to come from this to know what I had.'"
Fortunately, Wilson is happy to report that the cast does "keep in touch" and has "some group chats going." But naturally, everyone has ended up "doing their own thing" after the show's abrupt cancellation.
"It's so sad," she says. "We don't get to see each other [regularly]."
