Amber Benson To Hold a Virtual Signing Session via Streamily on the 11th of June 2026

6/3/2026

Pride month is here and Amber is holding an online autograph signing session via Streamily.com. Amber is donating a portion of the proceeds to the Los Angeles LGBT Center.

The Streamily online platform gives fans the opportunity to buy a photo which Amber will then sign whilst on a live stream so fans can tune in and watch. The team at Streamily will then post your autograph to you. They will send items internationally as well so you have the opportunity to get a personalised Amber autograph and you can watch the signing session wherever you are.

The signing will take place on Thursday the 11th of June 2026 at 10:12pm here in the UK and 2:12pm PDT in the USA. The live stream of the signing session itself will take place on Amber’s official Instagram which is @rebma_nosneb. This also means that you can log in and watch with fellow Amber fans even if you don't purchase an autograph.

It’s important to note however that Streamily do state that not all items are guaranteed to be signed live on camera. However there is a Priority Signing option and a Family Membership package that can be purchased to ensure your item is signed on the live stream.

It's also important to mention that as part of her Streamily store, Amber has some pre signed autographs for sale. If you want one signed to you personally select a photo with the “Signed On Livestream” banner on it. This does not guarantee it will be signed on the stream itself unless you have selected one of the VIP or priority options.

Ghosts of Albion - Legacy co-written and also directed by Amber Benson available for a limited time from the BBC.

5/16/2026

In 2002 Amber Benson co-wrote and co-created Ghosts of Albion with Christopher Golden. The Ghosts of Albion series is set in 1880’s London and centres around the lives of two siblings, William and Tamara Swift. After two full length animated dramas Legacy and Embers, the adventures continued in an novella Astray followed by two full length novels Accursed and Witchery.

Sadly the animated dramas are no longer available to watch however the good news is that the BBC recently re-broadcast the complete audio performance of Ghosts of Albion – Legacy on BBC Radio 4 Extra a few weeks ago. It is available to listen to on demand online and via the BBC Sounds App for a limited time. I must apologise to fellow fans as due to a number of commitments I was delayed in posting this article and at the time of publication it is available for less than two more days.

Ghosts of Albion – Legacy is the origin story where the audience are introduced to William and Tamara Swift. While on his death bed, their grandfather, Ludlow, tells them they must take over his role as the protector of Albion, which is Old English for England. As the protectors of Albion they must defend England and the world against the demons and dark magic that threaten it.

A top cast includes some well-known names from both film and television.

William Swift played by Rory Kinnear
Tamara Swift played by Jasmine Hyde
Lord Byron played by Joe McFadden
Queen Bodicea played by Emma Samms
Lord Nelson played by Anthony Daniels
Nigel Townshend played by Paterson Joseph
Ludlow Swift by Leslie Phillips
Henry Swift by Roy Skelton

As well as co-writing and co-creating the series Amber also directed Ghosts of Albion – Legacy

If you live in the UK you can listen to it for free at the link below by signing into your BBC account or listen via the BBC Sounds App. Unfortunately, it is not available to listen to if you live outside of the UK.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000kx00

So whether you are a long-time fan or you’re hearing about Ghosts of Albion – Legacy for the first time listen while you can and once again, I’m sorry for the delay.

5/15/2026

Exciting news for Amber fans living in and around Los Angeles as you have the chance to see Amber on stage tomorrow. Recently Amber released an exciting update on her official Instagram and Facebook accounts confirming that she will be part of the cast performing a staged reading of ‘And They Saw That It Was Good’. A brand-new play written by Sherry Angel.

The staged reading will take place at 2pm PST on Saturday the 16th of May at the Atwater Village Theater 3269 Casitas Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90039, USA.

Below is a summary of the plot as taken from The Echo Park Theater Company’s website. No copyright infringement is intended this is being posted for informational purposes only.

There’s a window when the 33-year age difference between Laura and George doesn’t matter, but it feels like the Grand Canyon when Laura’s midlife crisis kicks in. As a journalist and a Jew, she’s learned to ask tough questions. This is what both Laura and George do through encounters with their younger and older selves as they wrestle with the challenges of aging and loss, betrayal and forgiveness, and work to repair their relationship before it’s too late.

The 33 year age difference between George and Laura hasn't been a problem until now. Laura's midlife crisis Encountering their younger selves, they ask the tough questions that will help them to heal and move on.”

Amber Benson Appreciation Day Fifth Anniversary

5/7/2026

Today is the fifth annual Amber Benson Appreciation Day. It’s the brainchild of my friend Laragh. I asked her to tell you about the day in her own words:

#AmberBensonAppreciationDay began on May 7th, 2022, marking the 20th anniversary of the airing of 'Seeing Red' from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. What started as a way to reclaim the pain and injustice surrounding the death of Tara Maclay has grown into something more - a celebration of Amber Benson herself. Not only for her portrayal of Tara, but for the way she has continued to flourish as an artist and support the fan community in the years since.

Now in its 5th year, #AmberBensonAppreciationDay is stronger than ever. Amber continues to inspire us by creating, connecting with fans, and using her voice to make the world a better place during challenging times.

Take part by sharing your love using the #AmberBensonAppreciationDay hashtag, and help show Amber just how valued and appreciated she truly is. Laragh.

Every year, I support #AmberBensonAppreciationDay. Whenever possible, I try to come up with something new as my own contribution. This year, I have designed a social media post highlighting Amber’s work as a writer. Here is an image of the post below. You can also find it on our own dedicated social media feeds.

For more information and more on all these books and more click here.

This day is open to everyone, and if you’d like to take part, share the hashtag.

Happy Birthday, Amber!

1/8/2026

I’d like to wish Amber Benson a very Happy Birthday. Amber, I hope today and the year ahead bring you happiness and only good things.

Followers of the website’s social media feeds will know that I posted Happy Birthday messages there, too, of course. I also wanted to write a post here in the Latest Amber News section as well.

I've been a huge fan and have followed Amber's career for many years, and in that time, I've been fortunate enough to meet her in person on a number of occasions.

Amber is not only hugely talented, but she's also a kind and generous person. If it had not been for the encouragement Amber has given me, I never would have attempted many new things. I’m very grateful for all of her support and kind words.

In 2025, she returned to the UK as a guest at Wales Comic Con, and I had the opportunity to see her in person along with fellow Amber fans. She is already set to return to Europe next month, she will be a guest in Whispers From The Hellmouth 3 in Paris and will be attending a Comic Con in Aberdeen in March. Click the hyperlinks for details. She is also set to make more UK appearances this year, and I will be posting updates about them as soon as possible.

In a recent appearance on the Chasing Amy Adams podcast, Amber revealed she is working on a number of projects at the moment. I can't wait to see what she has in store for us in 2026, and as ever, I will do my best to keep everyone up-to-date.

I know you will all join me in wishing Amber a very Happy Birthday!

Amber Benson is the special guest on a bonus episode of the Chasing Amy Adams Podcast.

12/31/2025

Earlier this month Amber was the guest on a special bonus episode of the Chasing Amy Adams Podcast. The podcast was created by Dane McDonald and Louis Peitzman and it's dedicated to the career of actor and producer Amy Adams.

As many fans will know Amber played the role of Tara Maclay for three seasons on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Amy guest starred as Tara’s cousin Beth in Season Five, Episode Six “Family”. Louis Peitzman who hosted this episode is a fan of Buffy too. He started by asking Amber what it was like to have an episode that focused on her character Tara. They also discuss Tara’s relationship with Willow as this is a key theme of the episode.

Amber recalls what it was like to work with Amy, her professionalism and having the opportunity to make her feel welcome and chat as they travel to shoot together on location.

Louis and Amber discussed some of Amy's other work and Amber highlights a couple of her favourite performances by Amy including the romantic comedy Leap Year which happens to be one of my favourites too.

The good news is you can listen to Louis and Amber as they chat about all this and a whole lot more in this episode. It is available for free from both Spotify and Apple Podcasts just click the hyperlinks.

Disclaimer: There is some mildly offensive language within the podcast. If you are new to Buffy the Vampire Slayer as I know there are new generations of fans watching for the first time then there will be some spoilers for the “Family” episode.

I really enjoyed this podcast and I would recommend it to fans. I would like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year. Thank you for visiting the site in 2025, at times I haven't been able to put information on the site as quickly as I would've liked but I'm hoping to improve this in 2026 thank you all for your support.
