Are they rebooting Buffy the Vampire Slayer?
According to The Hollywood Reporter, a Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot is currently in development at Hulu.
Academy Award winning director Chloé Zhao, known for Nomadland and Eternals, is set to direct, while Nora and Lilla Zuckerman will be writing the script. They’ve described the reboot as “the next chapter in the Buffyverse,” and we couldn’t be more ready.
Variety alleges that the series is nearing a pilot order, meaning it shouldn’t be too far away.
Sources suggest that the new Buffy reboot will focus on a younger slayer, and that Buffy Summers will not be the main character.
The show was centred around the premise that only one Slayer could exist at a time. However, the original series ended following “the awakening” of hundreds of potential Slayers, meaning it was left open-ended enough for a new cast to come through.
