Aaron Sorkin has revealed how he would want a West Wing revival to go down.
The West Wing – created by Sorkin and starring Martin Sheen, Rob Lowe and Alison Janney – ran on NBC from 1999 to 2006 and followed the lives of staffers in the West Wing of the White House.
The series was a precursor to what we now know as the golden era of TV, and there have been calls for it to return ever since it ended.
Now, in a very candid interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Sorkin has revealed how exactly he would want it to come back – including new cast additions.
"Sterling K Brown [of] as the president, and there's some kind of jam, an emergency, a very delicate situation involving the threat of war or something, and [President] Bartlett [played by Martin Sheen], long since retired, is consulted in the way that Bill Clinton used to consult with Nixon," he explained.
And the good news is, Sterling is totally up for the gig.
"Aaron Sorkin if you are serious, sir, I would be honored!" He tweeted this evening (November 29).
This is actually the second time this year there's been West Wing revival chat.
In August, Richard Schiff, who played Toby Ziegler, shared his thoughts on what a revival could like, telling Larry King: "I did have a particular idea that I spoke with Aaron about.
"And I love my idea, I don't know if that's going to happen."
