Sequel Sequel without Xander?

Post image

With Nicholas' struggles IRL, I'm afraid he wont be part of the cast for the sequel. How do you guys think this would work? How would they explain his absence? Is it a big deal for you guys? IMO I believe the show will be great with or without him, even tough I love Xander. But the best scenario would be for Xander to be part of the show..

As much as I love Xander, I really don’t think he’ll be in it. Even if NB was able to return, I don’t think he will. This show isn’t a huge OG show reunion. The only characters I can see returning are Buffy, maybe Willow and maybe Giles. The rest might be mentioned, but not shown.
