Felicia Day Announces 20th-Anniversary Guild Reunion Film, Launches Kickstarter
On July 20, 2026, a familiar voice will echo through the digital realm once more. Felicia Day, the creator and star of the pioneering web series The Guild, has unveiled a Kickstarter campaign to fund a feature‑length reunion film that will celebrate the show’s 20‑year milestone.
The campaign, set to launch on the same date, will bring together the original ensemble—Sandeep Parikh (Zaboo), Vincent Caso (Bladezz), Jeff Lewis (Vork), Robin Thorsen (Clara), and Amy Okuda (Tink)—to reprise their iconic roles as members of the Knights of Good. Day explained in a recent Bleeding Cool interview that the project is a “fan‑focused” effort, offering a spectrum of reward tiers ranging from digital downloads and behind‑the‑scenes footage to tangible collectibles. Fans will also gain the chance to view the entire series in high‑definition, a format that has yet to be released for the original six seasons.
The Guild debuted on July 27, 2007, and ran for six seasons until 2013. Initially funded through a PayPal donation button on Day’s website, the series entered a partnership with Microsoft after its first season. Episodes from seasons two through five were subsequently released on Xbox Live Marketplace, Zune Marketplace, and MSN Video before returning to Day’s YouTube channel and iTunes. The show has accumulated six Streamy Awards and four IAWTV Awards, cementing its status as a trailblazer in web‑based storytelling.
All six seasons are currently available on YouTube, yet the forthcoming film will be the franchise’s first venture into a feature‑length format. Day emphasized that the reunion movie aims to “celebrate the legacy of the show and the community that grew around it.” She also highlighted that the project will be self‑funded—a model she has successfully employed in previous creative undertakings.
Beyond The Guild, Day’s résumé spans voice work, television roles, and writing. She voiced Betty in Adventure Time, a role she described as emotionally resonant, and has appeared in recurring parts on Supernatural, Eureka, and Mystery Science Theater 3000. She also founded Geek & Sundry, best known for hosting the popular show Critical Role.
Reflecting on the series’ early days, Day recounted working 21‑hour days and sacrificing personal time to keep the project afloat. She stated that she does not regret those sacrifices, as they shaped her creative path and taught her the value of persistence and creative autonomy.
While the film is in development, Day is touring to promote her graphic‑novel book The Lost Daughter of Sparta. The tour coincides with Pride Month and a renewed interest in Greek mythology, which she believes will broaden the book’s appeal to younger readers who have responded emotionally to the story.
Day also addressed The Guild’s broader influence on the entertainment industry. She said the series “helped inspire a generation of creators” and has witnessed the rise of creator‑driven projects such as Stranger Things and Mythic Quest. While she does not claim direct influence, she acknowledges that the show’s success demonstrated that a web‑based, fan‑funded production could achieve mainstream recognition.
The Kickstarter will run for a limited time, with backers receiving exclusive content that has not been released publicly. Day underscored that the project is a way to give back to the community that supported the original series and to preserve a historical snapshot of the early web‑series era—a period that has become increasingly rare.
As the 20th anniversary approaches, the Guild community is poised to relive the humor and camaraderie that defined the original series. The July 20, 2026 launch will determine whether the Knights of Good can reunite for a new chapter in their storied adventure.
