‘The West Wing’ creator Aaron Sorkin is considering a reboot
The West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin has said he is considering rebooting the show after celebrating its 25th anniversary at the White House.The political drama, ran between 1999 and 2006, focusing on the fictitious administration of President Josiah Bartlet (Martin Sheen).Last week the cast of the show reunited at the 76th Emmy Awards and Sorkin recently said that it would be “implausible” to make the Republican Party look “reasonable” if the show was made today.Now, after attending the White House on Friday (September 20) with Sheen and the rest of the show’s stars including Richard Schiff, Dulé Hill, Janel Moloney, Emily Procter, Melissa Fitzgerald, and Mary McCormack, he told Variety: “I didn’t think about it seriously, frankly, until today… We’ll see what happens when I wake up tomorrow. But, if you’re asking me now, this is how I feel.”He continued: “I just got a couple of ideas for episodes just walking around the White House.
