Those vampires won’t slay themselves.
A whole 20 years after being introduced to Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the show is getting a reboot.
The original series — based on a movie of the same name — was the brainchild of Joss Whedon and lasted 7 seasons starring Sarah as the titular character, as well as David Boreanaz, Alyson Hannigan, Michelle Trachtenberg, and James Marsters.
Whedon will return as executive producer for the reboot being made by Fox 21 TV Studios, while Charmed and Alias writer, Monica Owusu-Breen, has been tapped as the writer, executive producer, and showrunner.
The pair has previously worked together on ABC’s Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., which Whedon co-created and executive produced/directed and Owusu-Breen co-executive produced.
The new Slayer is expected to be African American, with the series once again using supernatural metaphors for issues facing society.
What would Buffy do?
