Could Happy Endings make a comeback? In honor of the ABC sitcom’s five-year anniversary, Complex recently spoke with the series’ cast and crew.
Created by David Caspe, Happy Endings starred Adam Pally, Eliza Coupe, Elisha Cuthbert, Damon Wayans Jr., Zachary Knighton, and Casey Wilson. ABC cancelled the comedy in 2013 after three seasons.
When asked if she would participate in a reunion, Cuthbert said “definitely”:
With my job at Netflix right now, where I’m having a blast, I obviously would have to sort that out. But if it works, yeah, I would definitely do [a reunion]. Any chance to work with all those people again would be a dream.”
Coupe added:
I wish it would come back as a limited series on Netflix or some sort of movie. I’d do it in a fucking heartbeat.”
However, Caspe said the show was more like “lightning in a bottle”:
I am desperately trying to recreate it. I don’t know how to do it. It was lightning in a bottle, really. A bunch of people who are very funny who worked well together and have all gone on to have their own shows and be on a bunch of other shows and run shows. The cast has gone on to do a bunch of awesome stuff and the crew is as in demand as anyone, and the producers and directors. The Russo brothers are now huge fuckin’ Marvel directors, it’s crazy. And I’m still here talking about Happy Endings.”
What do you think? Did you watch Happy Endings? Would you like a reunion?
I’d watch any reunion of “Happy Endings” in a ******* heartbeat. ABC was stupid to cancel that show.
