At Dragon Con 2022’s Warehouse 13 reunion panel, Eddie McClintock, Allison Scagliotti, Mark Stern, and Jack Kenny announced their pursuit of a Warehouse 13 reboot. This announcement was met with an eruption of cheers; that momentum has since fueled an online movement on Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, and Tumblr using the tags “#RebootWarehouse13” and “#Warehouse13.”
The fan-led online movement amassed many posts from fanatics, most of whom have taken to social media to share their favorite scenes, funny GIFs, and open calls for Syfy, Peacock, or NBC Universal to take on Warehouse 13.
Because the reboot is still in the early stages of pre-production, little to no casting or plot information has been released. Using Warehouse 13’s original canon, announcements made thus far, and cast members’ current production schedules, here’s a look at who could be in Warehouse 13, the reboot.

Characters Who Will Probably Reprise Their Roles
Syfy
Eddie McClintock starred as Pete Lattimer, the muscular, comedic “himbo” male lead of Warehouse 13. Pete Lattimer appeared in all sixty-four episodes before the show’s conclusion in 2014. McClintock has remained active in Warehouse 13 spheres, what with the thematic Warehouse 13 t-shirt sales, frequent convention appearances, and holding a torch for the show on social media.
McClintock is one of the main showrunners for the future reboot, and he was the person who officially broke the news that creators were in early discussions for production. While he has not officially clarified the capacity in which he will participate, McClintock’s high level of involvement this early in the project’s development indicates he will likely reprise his role.
Allison Scagliotti starred as Claudia Donovan, a former antagonist, current warehouse agent, and possible warehouse caretaker. Her character struck up a younger sister, adopted daughter role in the found family archetype for which Warehouse 13 is so well known. Scagliotti appeared in sixty of the sixty-four Warehouse 13 episodes. Like McClintock, Scagliotti is one of the showrunners and was present at the Dragon Con 2022 panel when McClintock made his announcement.
In addition to championing her support, Scagliotti has reposted the announcement on social media and encouraged fans to continue the online campaign to “#RebootWarehouse13.” Allison Scagliotti has repeatedly voiced that she is open to returning as Claudia. Because she made the announcement alongside McClintock and past creators and has been very supportive online, she is likely to reprise her role in the upcoming reboot.
Aaron Ashmore played the even-keeled, empathetic character of Steve Jinks. Ashmore appeared in thirty-six of the sixty-four Warehouse 13 episodes after his character introduction in early season three. He was part of the Warehouse 13 reunion panel at Dragon Con 2022, where McClintock announced the early development of a reboot.
Since then, Ashmore has posted about the revival and encouraged fans to continue their online campaign. His open show of support and advocating alongside Scagliotti and McClintock indicates that he is likely to return as Steve Jinks in the reboot.
Saul Rubinek played Artie Nielsen, the boss, the pseudo-adoptive father, and the guy-in-the-chair of Warehouse 13. He appeared in all sixty-four episodes of the show, and his character is typically perceived as the glue holding the agents and warehouse together. Where Myka, Pete, Steve, and Claudia all have partnerships and intergroup relationships in their group of four agents, Artie navigated the group dynamic to forge unique relationships with each character individually.
The last few years have been busy for Rubinek. He starred in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Hunters, Billions, BlackBerry, Clock, and Schitt’s Creek. Additionally, he wrote, directed, and starred in his own play, All In The Telling, a theatrical composition of his Jewish family’s experience in WWII Poland. His most recent productions are in post-production, meaning there is no potential conflict with an ongoing project. That, coupled with his online support and past willingness to return to the show, Saul Rubinek will likely return to the project.
Characters Who Might Reprise Their Roles
Jaime Murray portrayed the chaotic antagonist-turned-fellow-agent of Warehouse 13, H.G. Wells. Her character appeared in fifteen out of sixty-four episodes, in addition to the frequent mentions from other characters. H.G. Wells became a fan favorite, with a large portion of the Warehouse 13 fan base “shipping” her with the show’s lead, Myka Bering. H.G. is technically alive during the series finale, but the answer to whether she will come back is… complicated for a few reasons.
Syfy originally green-lit a spin-off for H.G. Wells due to the success of season three of Warehouse 13. The project was helmed by Warehouse writers Jack Kenny and Bob Goodman. Conceptually, it would have taken place in an 1890s steampunk environment, similar to the one shown in H.G.’s flashbacks. Due to a myriad of events – Syfy announcing the show before it had been formally pitched and funded, Jack Kenny wanting to delay production until Warehouse 13 wrapped, a struggle to find an appropriate filming location – the H.G. Wells spin-off was canceled before it began production.
Around this time in the series, H.G. Wells was given fewer appearances as her main storyline had already occurred by the end of season three. Her final episodic storyline in season four (“Instinct”) became a point of contention between her and writer Jack Kenny.
Ultimately, Jaime Murray has remained silent regarding the announcement of a possible reboot. She is a highly-regarded fan favorite of the show, but her history with Syfy/Warehouse creators and her silence on the reboot indicates that she might reprise her role.
Joanne Kelly as Myka Bering
Joanne Kelly starred as Myka Bering, the show’s co-lead, opposite Pete Lattimer (Eddie McClintock). Her character is alive and well in the series finale, so canonically, Bering could make a reappearance. As one of the core members of Warehouse 13’s ensemble cast and the other half of a fictional romantic relationship with H.G. Wells, Myka is a fan favorite and at the center of the show. Like McClintock, Joanne Kelly appeared in all sixty-four show episodes before it wrapped in 2014. Unlike McClintock, she is not currently part of the team advocating for a Warehouse 13 reboot.
Joanne Kelly’s experience with Warehouse 13 is similar to that of Jaime Murray’s. She has publicly championed her character’s writing, performance, and reception. However, she had qualms with the direction the Warehouse 13 creators took for both Myka and H.G. Wells. Showrunners initially let Murray and Kelly play out their interpretation of Myka/H.G.’s relationship, but that eventually shifted through season four and the series wrap. At a 2021 Clexacon virtual reunion panel, Kelly cited a mixture of creative differences in writing and the era in which Warehouse 13 aired to explain her frustrations.
Kelly has famously abstained from social media. Therefore, there has been no statement or show of support for the future reboot, but that is to be expected from someone not actively online. Additionally, she currently stars as Letitia Dryden in Showtime’s City On A Hill. Due to the lack of evidence of her feelings about a Warehouse reboot, her mixed feelings about the show’s writing, and her current production schedule, there is a chance of Joanne Kelly reprising her role as Myka.
Kelly Wu played Abigail Chow, the bed and breakfast innkeeper after the death of Leena, as well as the unofficial Warehouse psychotherapist. She appeared in six episodes out of the show’s sixty-four-episode run. She was asked by the Warehouse’s leadership to help Artie cope with his grief and generally aid in the agents’ well-being. Her storyline was considerably short, as she was introduced in late season four and made appearances through the final season.
Kelly Wu has had a packed year of production. In 2022, she starred in BMF, Joe Baby, Solar Opposites, Fallen Angels Murder Club: Heroes and Felons, Fallen Angels Murder Club: Friends To Die For, Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons, The Legend of Vox Machina, and Catwoman: Hunted. Her current production schedule suggests that there is a chance of her reprising her role.
As Warehouse 13 creators discern the details of the upcoming Warehouse 13 reboot, more announcements are sure to follow. Time will tell if these original cast members will return to their Warehouse roles.
