US drama The West Wing might be coming back

We'll never tire of shows coming back...

Political dramas are always a good watch.

Nowadays, there’s Scandal, House of Cards and Veep all readily available for your immediate consumption.

Of all the political dramas to gain a cult following – there’s one original who always stood out – The West Wing.

The West Wing ran on NBC from 1999-2006, gaining fans for its complex characters and the hot storylines surrounding President Jed Bartlet and the staff working to advise him in the White House.

Actress Allison Janney, who played the character of press secretary CJ Cregg in the White House, has expressed her interest in the return of the show.

Speaking to the Press Association, the multiple Emmy-award winner said considering the potentially disastrous political future of America, fans of the show were almost left hoping for fictional President Jed Bartlett to take charge – as opposed to potential presidential candidate Donald Trump.

The Mom star spoke of how delighted she’d be to reunite with her former cast:

“I love all my compadres from the West Wing. I’ve been seeing them a lot lately.

“I would love to walk the halls again with them at a fast pace walk and talk. It would be a thrill.

“Here people are looking at the political scene and wishing there was a Jed Bartlet again. I’m with Hillary. I hope she can bring back some sense.”

Bring back CJ I say!
