Bradley Whitford Says a Limited ‘West Wing’ Revival Could Be Possible
Bradley Whitford, who played Josh Lyman on The West Wing, said a limited revival of the series could be possible.
He made the comment in an interview on the day he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Creator Aaron Sorkin had also floated an idea in 2024: a story about a new generation of Oval Office staffers.
The original series ran for seven seasons from 1999 to 2006.
It portrayed Washington as a place where idealistic public servants could work together to improve the country.
The story card’s central question is whether that hopeful vision could still feel believable today.
Sorkin has said a new version would need to reflect the world people live in.
No revival has been announced in the information available here.
