'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' Inclusive Reboot in the Works With Joss Whedon
Buffy the Vampire Slayer is getting the reboot treatment.
20th Century Fox Television, who produced the original Joss Whedon drama, have put a new take on the beloved Sarah Michelle Gellar drama in development. Writer Monica Breen, who worked with Whedon on ABC's Agents of SHIELD, has been hired to pen the adaptation and serve as showrunner on the reboot.
Whedon will be an exec producer on the series and has been working with Breen on the script, which features a black actress stepping into the role of Buffy made famous by Gellar.
Gail Berman, Joe Earley, Fran Kazui and Kaz Kazui (who produced Whedon's original Buffy film that inspired the TV series) will also serve as exec producers on the potential series. A network is not yet attached for the new Buffy, talks for which began last fall. Producers Fox 21 TV Studios will pitch the Buffy re-do to streaming and cable outlets later this summer in a package bound to ignite a bidding war. It's unclear if Whedon will have any additional role on the new Buffy due to his other commitments, which include HBO's recent straight-to-series order The Nevers.
Just do a Nikki Wood spinoff.
I wonder how much ?Faith? would?ve slayed years ago

Right.
Diverse!
ffggggggggggggggg
I?m sure the watcher will be a Latina womuh. Poor Golden
Just LEAVE Buffy alone.
:19k:
And make a new slayer series from the original (first) black slayer... that was already mentioned and showed in the series.

I think that was smart on her part.
I don't know.... Buffy is a such a staple for me.
I still watch it to this day.
And I just don't think they should TOUCH it.
They are so many elements of the Buffy-verse that can be a spin-off.
Nikki Wood is a great idea.
Spike was even around ... he killed her. So there's ways to bring some of the Buffy characters back.
They could even do a time-warp mess, where Buffy and the gang go back to the 1970s or something.
Anything other than a contrived attempt at diversity.
Buffy is trending.
:dead:
Yea, honestly Buffy is still fresh and relevant to me
n
No need to see some new mess with the girls finding Vampires on twitter and shit. it?s late
I still want a prequel series. They?ve already created comics about the early Slayers. A few were depicted on the show, and even the original movie. They could just pick a few and get started.
They should do one season per slayer, dippin through different times and nations. A globetrot mess out.

I legit watch it at least once a week.
Season 2, 3 and 5 has been lashing me.
It is still current.
No need for it to be touched... in any form.
I'm legit upset about this.

NOW THIS... BITCH.... THIS IS A GOOD CONCEPT.
What the fuck is wrong with hollywood?
:uhh:
And don't get me wrong... now, as I watch Buffy I notice MORE the lack of diverse characters.
Yea, I know we had Kendra... but in general, there weren't a lot of black people on Buffy to be honest.
That's a flaw, I see now.
But I'd rather them CREATE a whole new show, with a black lead, within the Buffy-universe. That's the way to go.
I'm livid.
Don't touch this show that got me through.
:stressed:
The finale kinda ruined the epicness of being the slayer. Now everybody and their mama a slayer. n :plzstop:
And no one wants to see those slayer troops like in the comics.
They gotta go back in time, not forward.
Nikki Wood was interesting because she was a slayer for like seven years. Usually slayers don?t last long. She had to have been a beast. Plus, she had a kid.
But they could literally pick any time period, any country, and throw a slayer in that setting. Ancient Egypt. Harlem Renaissance. Nazi Germany. Medieval Europe. Imperial China. The Old West.
The potential is limitless, tbh.

Do we need you in the writing room?
I think so, hun.
:ohwow:
Cause apparently they couldn't come up with anything nearly as good as you just did.
WTF.
"Wild Horses" The Sundays just came on my iTunes... from the Buffy THE PROM episode.
What kind of message?
:stressed:

Why not just create all new content with a black girl as the lead? Why re-imagine a white fictional character with a black actress? These reboots are insulting actually.

Exactly and the premise of the show has always been when a slayer dies a new one is chosen, so why reboot what has already been done. It?s very insulting to the fans of the show, like cm?on

:guys:
I always wanted more black people in Buffy so I'm not completely against this
but I would rather them continue Buffy instead of completely changing it.
Sarah and the rest of the cast I'm sure wanted more black people too .. The network controlled that shit. Are we surprised?

He was always supposed to be but they chose Willow instead to dyke
Which is good because had he been a fag we might not have gotten the best character on the show

Okay, then yes im fuckin here for it. Only if they do it right!
Thank GOD. I wasn't here for a black Buffy, but a black Slayer would slay.
I lived for Kendra and that shitty pan-Caribbean accent :kii:
Never forget the first Slayer Black :sup:
The way they killed Kendra off was insulting
She could have easily laid Drusilla OWT.
I?m fuming
Another case off getting rid of the nigger smh
