We live in the era of it was a thing, a thing we liked or loved, it will be rebooted.
Variety is reporting today that the cult show which just celebrated it’s 21st anniversary, is set for a potential reboot at FOX TV.
I think if you look in our library, ‘Buffy’ is probably the most ripe show we have for bringing back,” said Fox TV group chair Gary Newman at the INTV Conference in Jerusalem. But he acknowledged that he “wouldn’t get out of the building alive” if he actually announced it.
“It’s something we talk about frequently, and Joss Whedon is really one of the greatest creators we ever worked with,” he said. “When Joss decides it’s time, we’ll do it. And until Joss decides it’s time, it won’t happen.”
Yes, Whedon who went on to have massive success off the small screen with Marvel’s The Avengers series, is a critical piece to making this prospective comeback important.
The star of the original TV series Sarah Michelle Gellar posted on Instagram to remmber the show on ‘Buffy Slay Day’ with some behind the scenes photos. The cast of the show did reunite last year for a special retrospective by EW, check that out here.
