Can you believe it's been 13 years since Alphas first aired?! (13 years, 5 months, 14 days to be exact.)
Why in the world did Alphas end?
When Alphas came to an end after 2 years in October 2012, million viewers tuned in to say goodbye to Doctor Lee Rosen (David Strathairn). And since then, they have been itching for a reunion.
Would an Alphas reunion disappoint people?
Alphas aired from 2011-2012 and is considered one of the most influential TV shows ever on pop culture. Although no original episodes have been shot since, it has remained a regular feature on many station's schedules. But Strathairn said he's not sure if Alphas would work today. “I don't want to see old Doctor Lee Rosen,” he told a journalist (Strathairn turned 75 in January). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” he added.
Still hoping for an Alphas movie?
In a recent interview, David Strathairn said he can't imagine an Alphas reunion hitting the big screen. “I'd rather people go, ‘Oh, please! Please!’ than ‘I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.’”
Co-star Mahershala Ali (who played Nathan Clay) has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did an Alphas movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”
On the subject of whether there could be an Alphas film, Laura Mennell stated : “I think it's a bit of a case of ‘the book is better than the movie’.”
What about an Alphas reboot?
Recasting Alphas for a modern reboot. Hollywood is known for remaking remakes of films or tv series and the studios might think it would be great to bring the story back with a new set of characters.
Be it in the form of an Alphas reunion, an Alphas movie, or an Alphas reboot, if you had to start filming today, who would you cast in what role?
