The Slayers audio series, which acts as a continuation of Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, has been cancelled at Audible. This is kind of an odd cancellation announcement for this site, but Buffy fans who enjoyed audio series will certainly want to know. Co-author Christopher Golden posted the following on Twitter:
Working with this cast, the production team, and the folks at Audible UK–and seeing the joy in the fan community–has been one of the happiest experiences of my career. I’m sorry we won’t be able to continue on, but I’m so glad we were able to bring these characters back to you.

TV Line has reached out to Audible and Disney-owned 20th Television for further comment on the cancellation.
The nine-episode, Spike-centric audio series was released in Fall 2023 and included quite a number of members from the cast of the original show such as James Marsters, Charisma Carpenter, Anthony Head, Juliet Landau, Emma Caulfield, Amber Benson, James Charles Leary, and Danny Strong. More seasons had been planned, but apparently Disney is not interested in proceeding with the series. And since the Mouse House owns the property, that means that this one is pretty much done for now. The Buffy-verse has had a long life in comics, though, and perhaps some of the stories planned for the Slayers series will eventually see life in that format.
