Either way, actors Joshua Malina and Mary McCormack are throwing their social media followers in a tizzy with a series of posts suggesting that a reboot of The West Wing is in the works for the drama’s 25th anniversary this year.

The Oppenheimer series is getting some renewed interest thanks to the success of the current Oppenheimer feature film directed by Christopher Nolan. The miniseries, which first aired on BBC in 1980, is now available for viewing on iPlayer in the UK. The series aired on PBS in the United States.
Starring Sam Waterston (currently starring on NBC's Law & Order), David Suchet, Kate Harper, John Carson, Christopher Munke, and Jana Shelden, the seven-episode drama follows the work of physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer (Waterson), the Manhattan Project, and the creation of the first nuclear bomb.

Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer has been grabbing plenty of headlines and dollars this week but the BBC has turned the clocks back to a different retelling, making its classic series available on iPlayer.
The BAFTA-winning series aired on the BBC more than 40 years ago and is available from today as a boxset on the VoD player.
Sam Waterston was the Cillian Murphy of the series, starring as the titular scientist as he led the weapons laboratory of the Manhattan Project, all the while under constant surveillance by the FBI because of his left wing politics and association with communists. As with Nolan’s movie, the show followed his role in developing the world’s first nuclear weapons and his rivalry with Edward Teller, through to being stripped of his security clearance by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission in the 1950s. David Suchet, Kate Harper, John Carson, Christopher Munke and Jana Shelden also starred.

Watching "The West Wing" now feels like revisiting a moment in time. Aaron Sorkin's groundbreaking political drama follows President Josiah Bartlet (Martin Sheen) and his senior staff as they strive to make the world a better place during two terms in the nation's highest office. It's an idealistic — some would say naive — depiction of politics that feels like a fantasy in the divided America of today. Airing in the early days of peak TV, the network drama was unique in its verisimilitude, lack of studio interference, and inclusion of characters who looked, felt, and acted like real people.
You'd think that a show about the White House would revolve around its most famous occupant, but Potus is just one of its many compelling characters. In fact, originally, the president wasn't supposed to be on the show at all. Rather, Sorkin's intent was to follow the staffers, assistants, secretaries, and...

1999 was a simpler time in politics. We didn’t have Facebook, or people mining for your Facebook info. There were no presidents or vice president threatening to beat each other up. And — perhaps the best part — is that Jed Bartlet was in the Oval Office. At least the fictional Oval Office in one of TV’s best shows of all time, The West Wing! The stars of the beloved political drama have remained tight — and politically active! Several members of the cast — Martin Sheen, Allison Janney, Richard Schiff, Bradley Whitford, Dulé Hill, Mary McCormack, Janel Maloney, and Jimmy Smits — recently reunited to film a PSA for the organization Let America Vote. In the two-minute video, they urge Americans to take action against the voter suppression policies that will likely affect the upcoming midterm elections. Check out the PSA in the video below! In the video, they remind voters/fans, “Every...

They're walking and talking - for Hillary. Some of The West Wing cast gathered together to travel across Ohio, over the weekend, reliving their fictional political backgrounds as they stumped for real Democratic Presidential nominee Clinton. "[I have] renewed respect for the energy that it must take to be a candidate, because it's exhausting," Josh Malina, who portrayed Will Bailey on the drama series, tells People from the battleground state.

The West Wing is back! Sort of!
Fans will absolutely eat up this video the cast of the classic political drama just released on behalf of Bridget Mary McCormack, who's running on the non-partisan ticket for Michigan's Supreme Court.
If that name sounds familiar, it very much is. Bridget is the sister of Mary McCormack, who played Deputy National Security Advisor Kate Harper on the show, and went on to star on In Plain Sight.
The video features the cast doing the "Walk and Talk" and promoting Bridget, reminding viewers about voting in the nonpartisan section (which only 15 states have apparently) of the Michigan ballot.
Bask nostalgically in West Wing memories, chuckle and learn something below!

How's this for a political ad? Six years after The West Wing went off the air, several castmembers from the series have reunited to recreate their roles for a campaign spot for, no, not Barack Obama or Mitt Romney, but rather a Michigan Supreme Court candidate in a nonpartisan race. Wait, what? Yep. State judicial candidate Bridget McCormack managed to wrangle the likes of Martin Sheen, Allison Janney, Bradley Whitford and several others to shoot a video that parodies their political drama. So, how did McCormack pull it off? Well, with a little help from her sister, Mary McCormack, who played security advisor Kate Harper on the program and who also appears in the mini-movie, which was...

For all of us who still haven't accepted that "The West Wing" is off the air. And have worn out the DVDs of several seasons. And sometimes pretend President Bartlet is real ... wait, what? Oh, sorry.
The cast of "The West Wing" has reunited and it feels so good. It all started because Bridget Mary McCormack, the sister of actress Mary McCormack, who played Deputy National Security Adviser Kate Harper on the show's final three seasons, is running for the Michigan Supreme Court.
The "crisis" in this mini "West Wing" episode is that because the Supreme Court races in Michigan are non-partisan, voters who vote straight-ticket end up not voting in the Supreme Court races.
Bridget tells M Live in an interview that it was her sister Mary's idea and it "sort of snowballed and all of sudden Martin Sheen signed up and [Bridget] was like 'Whoa.'"
