I’ve got good news, and bad news for y’all. First, the good news…the Buffy The Vampire Slayer TV series is having a reboot! Now the bad news…it will be behind the paywall of Hulu…
Technically more of a sequel than a reboot, the new Buffy series will introduce a new Slayer (Ryan Kiera Armstrong) who is mentored by Sarah Michelle Geller as Buffy. This is probably a good thing as the original series aired largely in the 1990’s, and that cast can no longer really hope to pass as people in their late teens to early 20’s. Reboots and sequels are seldom as satisfying as their originals, and some are outright travesties that should never have been made. Given how influential, compelling, and loved the original series was, however, a reboot or sequel is worthy of consideration. It’s just that there’s a lot at stake…hehehe!
Some of the original cast members will be returning, but unfortunately Oz the Werewolf as played by Sean Green won’t be among them…
The reboot will supposedly balance new and legacy story lines, but is unlikely to premier until 2026 as it’s still in the early stages of development, and little information is available…
