The West Wing remains on the comeback trail at NBC, according to a RadioTimes report:
In a recent episode of The West Wing Weekly podcast, one of the show’s stars Bradley Whitford asked Sorkin whether he would “consider bringing some characters back” for a reboot.
Sorkin then revealed that NBC chairman Robert Greenblatt had expressed an interest in another series.
“‘I want you to do The West Wing again in some form,’” Sorkin recalled him saying. “‘You can do it for 9 episodes, 13 episodes. You do it with a different cast, the same cast.’”
Sorkin added: “Incredibly, the show has a legacy. The last thing I would want to do is harm that, so if I can come up with an idea that doesn’t feel like A Very Brady Christmas, if I can come up with an idea that works, then yeah.”
Would you watch The West Wing Season 8? Should the series be left in the TV afterlife? Stay tuned for the latest developments…

the west wing series was some of the best TV ever – writing – acting Directing- Producing. I say if Sorkin has a good idea, why not. If its bad it wont tarnish the original west wing as that stands on its own… as a west wing fan I would love to see a reboot.
