Charisma Carpenter is hopeful that her "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" character will have the opportunity to return in the sequel series currently in development at Hulu.

In a recent interview, the star said her character had an “unjust” ending on the "Angel" spinoff and it would be “poetic” to return to the Buffy universe to make things right.

“I am so excited for fans, and I know it will be fantastic because of who’s involved,” Carpenter said in an interview with IGN. “To see this actually happen for the fans makes me thrilled. I am so hopeful to be included, for Cordelia to be a part of this new iteration.”



Carpenter says that “writers are wildly creative” and could find a way to bring Cordelia back somehow.

“Listen, you’re not gonna get an argument out of me,” Carpenter added. “Because the way it went down for her was just — without using inflammatory language — just was not… she was built up so big, she’d grown so much, she’d had this remarkable journey, and for her to go out the way that she did just felt so unjust.”
