A reboot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is in the works – but not as you know it. Deadline reports that a new TV show based on the cult classic is in development at 20th Century Fox Television.
Buffy creator Joss Whedon is signed on as an executive producer, while writer Monica Breen – who previously worked with Whedon on ABC’s Agents of SHIELD – is set to pen the adaptation and serve as showrunner.
The reboot, which is set to be pitched to cable and streaming networks, would be a “contemporary” take on the Buffy mythology – and would recast the role of Buffy with a black actress.
