Fifteen years ago, ABC took viewers to the Hamptons for a story filled with secrets, betrayals, complicated relationships and revenge.
On September 21, 2026, The Buzz is going back.
To celebrate the 20th season of The Buzz — BuzzWorthy Radio, host and founder NaVell J. Lee is launching “Revisit the Hamptons: A Revenge Rewatch Podcast with NaVell J. Lee.”
The premiere arrives on September 21, 2026—exactly 15 years after Revenge premiered on ABC.
And this isn’t just a podcast about watching an old television show again.
Created by Mike Kelley and starring Emily VanCamp as Emily Thorne, Revenge premiered on ABC on September 21, 2011. The series followed Emily as she returned to the Hamptons under an assumed identity with a carefully planned mission against the people she believed were responsible for destroying her family.
Over four seasons, Revenge delivered plenty of twists, betrayals, romances and dramatic turns—and developed a devoted audience along the way.
Now, 15 years after the series first premiered, Revisit the Hamptons will take listeners back to the beginning.
The podcast will revisit Revenge episode by episode, looking at the characters, performances, relationships, major storylines and moments that made the series memorable.
Lee recently reconnected with the cast during Revenge reunion coverage at Televerse, and this experience helped craft the idea that he was toying around with for months.
For Lee, that’s part of what makes this rewatch particularly exciting.
“There’s something special about returning to a show 15 years after it first premiered. I watched Revenge when it originally aired, and I’ve since had the opportunity to speak with members of the cast. Now I get to bring those two things together and revisit the series from a completely different perspective.”
The timing couldn’t be better.
The premiere of Revisit the Hamptons coincides with two major milestones: The Buzz’s 20th season and the 15th anniversary of Revenge.
That makes September 21 more than just a podcast launch date.
It’s a return to where the story began.
“It’s almost too perfect,” Lee said. “The Buzz is celebrating 20 seasons, Revenge is celebrating 15 years, and the anniversary of the show’s premiere falls on the exact date I can launch this podcast. I couldn’t ask for a better reason to go back to the Hamptons.”
And after nearly two decades of interviewing actors and covering television, Lee brings a different perspective to the rewatch.
This isn’t simply about remembering what happened.
It’s about asking what Revenge looks like 15 years later.
What still works? Which performances stand out? Which storylines feel different in 2026? What can viewers notice now that they couldn’t when the show was originally airing?
And, perhaps most importantly, what stories can the people who made the show tell us now?
Each installment will explore the Revenge episode being revisited while leaving room for conversations and special features.
Listeners can expect:
- Episode-by-episode Revenge rewatch discussions
- Thoughts on characters and performances
- Major moments and storylines
- A look at what holds up 15 years later
- Behind-the-scenes stories
The format will also allow the podcast to evolve as the rewatch progresses with the hopes of cast members coming to the show for special interviews.
“Revisit the Hamptons: A Revenge Rewatch Podcast with NaVell J. Lee” premieres September 21, 2026 on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.
The premiere will revisit the Revenge pilot, bringing the series back to the exact date where its television journey began 15 years earlier.
It’s the beginning of a new journey through the Hamptons—and another chapter in the history of The Buzz.
