 Buffy
the Vampire Slayer is returning to television in a reboot executive produced by
franchise creator Joss Whedon. 20th Century Fox Television is developing the new
take on Buffy, which will center on a younger version of the Sarah
Michelle-Gellar character but this time she would be black. The new take will be
written by Monica Owusu-Breen, who has worked on Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Fox will pitch the new Buffy take to streaming and cable outlets later this
summer. Whedon had already signed a deal with HBO to produce a series called The
Nevers. The series has been described as “an epic science-fiction drama about a
gang of Victorian women who find themselves with unusual abilities, relentless
enemies and a mission that might change the world.” Whedon will write, direct
and serve as show runner for the series. |
