"Alias" Reboot is "Happening," Jennifer Garner Says

It's been more than 10 years since Jennifer Garner played Sydney Bristow on ABC's "Alias". And as she returns to the small screen this Sunday night in HBO's "Camping", an eight-episode limited series from "Girls" showrunners Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner, Garner says viewers may not have seen the last of the spy who made her famous.

"I've heard that there's an Alias reboot happening, but no one's talked to me about it," she tells The Hollywood Reporter. "I mean it would be totally different. But if they didn't have me on as a guest, I would be very, very angry. But I can't imagine it being that serious yet because I haven't heard anything about it at all."

The comment marks a change from her past remarks, in which she said that she feels like a revival of the spy series is up to creator J.J. Abrams, and comes as Garner will soon be back on TV.

The actress has mostly focused on film since "Alias" ended its five-season run in 2006, but she tells THR that didn't see the switch in format as a big change for her.

"I've never thought of returning to TV as some huge thing, so it wasn't a barrier to me that I had to get over," Garner says. "It was a job. And it was shot in L.A., and the words were genius, and Jenni Konner and Lena Dunham were a pair that anyone would be so lucky to work with.

And once I was in the process of saying yes, it just kept getting better and better. As David [Tennant, who plays Garner's character's husband] came on and Juliette Lewis came on and Ione Skye came on, the pot just got sweeter."
