Can you believe it's been 27 years since Nikita first aired?! (27 years, 10 months, 8 days to be exact.)
Why in the world did Nikita end?
When Nikita came to an end after 5 years in March 2001, million viewers tuned in to say goodbye to Nikita (Peta Wilson) and Michael (Roy Dupuis). And since then, they have been itching for a reunion.
Would a Nikita reunion disappoint people?
Nikita aired from 1997-2001 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 Dupuis said he's not sure if Nikita would work today. “I don't want to see old Michael,” he told a journalist (Dupuis turned 61 in April). “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 a Nikita movie?
In a recent interview, Peta Wilson said she can't imagine a Nikita 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 Roy Dupuis has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did a Nikita movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”
What about a Nikita reboot?
Recasting Nikita 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 a Nikita reunion, a Nikita movie, or a Nikita reboot, if you had to start filming today, who would you cast in what role?
