Buffy Reboot Is Actually A Continuation, Says Showrunner

Buffy Reboot Is Actually A Continuation, Says Showrunner

, , , , , , , 0

Those of you who feared the Buffy reboot would be resetting the entire community of Sunnydale (and the world beyond) can breathe a bit easier. When creator Joss Whedon announced the reboot was finally a thing during Comic-Con, all he said was that it would be “a new Buffy” who belonged to another race. Perhaps he should have clarified “a new Slayer.” Showrunner Monica Owusu-Breen felt the need to elaborate on Joss’s words, and today she posted this tweet, with a message that was part-poem: For some genre writers it’s Star Wars. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is my Star Wars. Before I became a writer, I was a fan. For seven seasons, I watched Buffy Summers grow up, find love, kill that love. I watched her fight, and struggle and slay. There is only one Buffy. One Xander, one Willow, Giles, Cordelia, Oz, Tara, Kendra, Faith, Spike, Angel… They can’t be replaced. Joss Whedon’s brilliant and beautiful series can’t be replicated. I wouldn’t try to. But here we are, twenty

SDCC 2018: Joss Whedon To Re-Buff Buffy

It’s been rumored for a long time — Fox’s reboot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer — but we’ve never heard anything about the project actually going forward. That’s because, until now, none of the Buffy re-Buffs have had the blessing of creator Joss Whedon, and have thus died on the vine. Until now. This could be the Chosen One, folks….this could be the Slayer. Whedon himself took to the stage at Comic-Con today and said HE was working on a new Buffy series. It will be a new continuity with a new cast. “Based on recent remake trends, I’m guessing the character is going to be exactly the same only black,” you might say. And um….yeah, that’s what Joss confirmed. He also said he was hiring on Monica Owusu-Breen as showrunner, who is a seasoned veteran of this kind of show — she wrote for Agents of SHIELD and Charmed, and was a major player behind NBC’s Midnight Texas, though we doubt she puts that last part on her resume.

Eventually, rewatching all 90s shows will become a two-pronged experience: the original seasons, and then the Trump-era revival season with lots of in-the-moment “fake news” jokes. With all the revivals we’ve seen lately, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that 20th Century Fox wants to bring back Buffy badly. What IS surprising is the restraint they’re showing in regards to that decision. Fox TV chairman Gary Newman addressed a crowd at the INTV Conference in Jerusalem and admitted out of all the properties they own and haven’t resurrected already, “Buffy” is the name that’s most often brought up. But he refuses to let it happen without the involvement of creator Joss Whedon. “Most times when we brought things back, it started with the creator coming into us and saying I’ve got another story I want to tell,” Newman said. “It’s something we talk about frequently, and Joss Whedon is really one of the greatest creators we ever worked with. When Joss decides it’s time, we’ll do it. And until Joss decides it’s time,

Prepare to feel old: Joss Whedon’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer is about to turn 20. On March 10, 1997 a TV adaption of an obscure 1992 movie appeared on an upstart network barely anybody watched…and it grew to become one of the most popular and influential programs ever made. There was nothing like it at the time and the show set the blueprint for genre television as we know it today. Every single urban fantasy or superhero series produced since that time owes something to it (or borrows from it outright). Buffy Summers saved the world. A lot. The show remains a part of pop culture to this day, and its reruns rival Star Trek’s in the timeless ability to attract new fans. Fox is aware of the debt they owe to the Slayer, and is gearing up to party. The first thing you need to do is….get out your crayons! This Friday a few advances pages from the Buffy Adult Coloring Book will be leaked on the BoxLunch &

SDCC: Buffy Comic Getting Season 11

Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans have been very happy to continue the series through the comics made Dark Horse Comics. Now, it’s been revealed that there will indeed be a Season 11 of the hit comic, though this one will take Buffy down a very different path than past “seasons”. Furthermore, veteran team Christos Gage and Rebekah Isaacs will be helming the new season, which will be running twelve issues. You can read the full interview with the team here, but the snippet below shows where the season will be guided to: “Content-wise, again being annoyingly vague, it’s informed by some of the things going on in the world today. Joss talked about how, as a father, it seemed to him as if he had kids and suddenly the world went all to hell, with wars and environmental crises and so on, and he worries about what his children will have to face in the future. (Let me hasten to add that Buffy is not having kids this season. I
