Karen Gillan wants to act again with her “Selfie” co-star John Cho in a short spinoff of the show.
“Selfie” reunion: In an interview with Refinery 29 on July 15, Gillan said that it would “be cool to revisit” the ABC comedy sitcom as a “one off thing” or a “shorter thing” as opposed to a full-blown series.
- The interviewer stated that they should “get John Cho on the phone and make this happen.”
- In response, Gillan thought the idea was “great,” said they get along “really well” and that Cho was “such a nice guy.”
- Gillan was also surprised that she received constant tweets from people saying they missed the show since there were only 12 or 13 episodes.
