The CW’s Supernatural aims to slay you by reuniting Buffyverse alumni Charisma Carpenter and James Marsters — aka Cordelia and Spike — in one of its Season 7 episodes, TVLine has learned exclusively.

What’s more, the two actors, who previously worked together both on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its David Boreanaz-fronted spin-off Angel, will be playing husband and wife on the spooktacular drama, which launches its new cycle on Friday, Sept. 23, at 9/8c. Watch for this glorious genre-gasm to come in the new season’s fifth episode, titled “Shut Up, Dr. Phil.”

“This episode is ‘Bewitched gone wrong,’” reveals showrunner Sera Gamble. “[It was] all upside for this successful man (Marsters) while he was married to the witch (Carpenter), but now that he’s pissed her off, the whole town is paying the price.”

TVLine happened to be speaking with Carpenter on Wednesday morning (to talk up her Sept. 1 Burn Notice appearance), when she shared what little she could about her Supernatural outing. “My people called me yesterday to see if I wanted to do it and I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’d love to go to Vancouver in the summer!’” she said. “It’s probably one of my all-time favorite cities.”

At the time, little did Carpenter know that the Canadian seaport would be playing host to the biggest on-screen Buffy reunion to date, or at least since her and Nicholas Brendon’s 2006 ABC Family movie, Relative Chaos.

Carpenter and Marsters will film their Supernatural appearance the week of August 22 — after the former swings by New Orleans for a cameo in Haunted High, a just-announced Syfy original movie about teens trapped in a school by the ghost of a headmaster (played by Lost‘s M.C. Gainey). Pulp film icon Danny Trejo (Machete) costars as a possible hero, while Carpenter lords over the school’s library.

“I asked the director, ‘Can I be totally unrecognizable, using make-up effects, or do I have to be a ‘hot’ librarian?’ And he was like, ‘Hot. Librarian,’” she relates with a laugh. “For once, I want to be something different!”

Carpenter was just seen pulling “double” duty this past Monday on Lifetime’s Deadly Sibling Rivalry (encoring Saturday at 9/8c), while Marsters’ most recent TV credits include Hawaii Five-0, Smallville and Caprica.

Brilliant!
@NY State of Mind Lol. I was happy finally find an article about it. Because I looked last night and didn't find anything.😀 But then a friend retweeted something with an article. I knew I had to post it! 😀

This is exciting!! 🙂

A hot librarian? Huh?! 😛

yes...i might start getting a fetish for librarians :p
Ooh, I'm really excited for this! thanks so much for sharing 😀
(and yay Charisma!)
 
It seems a little strange to me that this keeps getting billed as a reunion though. Granted, both had important roles on Buffy and Angel but the two of them barely shared any scenes. What, did they interact in like two or three episodes over eight years?
 
I am pretty dang excited about this.

I am just hoping that I don't have to see James die . . . again!

It seems like in at least half of his guest appearances, he's toast.
 
Okay, seriously though, now that I'm actually really thinking about this, did the two of them even interact at all on Buffy? It's been a good while now since I've watched Buffy season two but I can't think of any exchanges between the two of them offhand. I know they did a little on Angel ("In the Dark" and "You're Welcome") but on Buffy? I just want to know if I'm forgetting something because it's kind of interesting to think that two people who were regulars on both of these shows for a good length of time could have shared so little screentime.

I thought the same.
This is freeeeaking awesome! Thanks Abs for linking this. 🙂 I can't wait for season 7, and I can't wait to see James and Charisma playing husband and wife, hahaha! I also can't wait to see Jensen interact with James! James' character better be a lil funny!

You're Welcome, Tom. :D
Yeah billing that as the biggest reunion is a bit mad, they barely interacted.

Charisma and Nick was way bigger, or that episode of How I met your mother with Alexis, Aly and Amy!
 
I too wonder how much work they actually did together in Buffyverse but any Charisma screen time is good news and James, well that's not bad either. Even if I don't care as much about him. Call me shallow.
 
I just read this on E! Looking forward to seeing them both on screen again, it's good to see Charisma won't be playing a psychic again haha!
 
Oh where the Hell is [MENTION=5931]VisionGuy[/MENTION]? He is going to lose it when he hears about this; his beloved Spordelia lives! :lmao:
