LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - "Buffy the Vampire Slayer (news - Y! TV)" co-star Alyson Hannigan (news) is returning to the small screen. The actress, also of "American Pie" fame, has inked a talent deal with NBC to star in a comedy project for the network targeted for fall 2004. "She has such a natural effervescence, she brought into 'Buffy' a real sense of humor to the role of Willow, and between that and the 'American Pie' movies, where she's so winning, we really think that this is the right time for her to try a half-hour comedy," NBC executive vp casting Marc Hirschfeld said. Hannigan, who is meeting with writers and reading scripts, played Willow Rosenberg, the best friend of Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar (news)), on Joss Whedon's cult series. On the big screen, she most recently reprised her role as the nerdy band camp lover Michelle Flaherty in "American Wedding." Reuters/Hollywood Reporter -end quote- Go Willow! Wonder if 'Wes' is happy???

I think its great AH is getting a comedy project, but it sucks cz Joss said if he did do a buffy spin-off or smthg he wud do it next fall. It wud suck cz a possibility like that it cud have been a willow spin-off or faiths if tru calling didnt go good. I guess well just have to c.
