The hellmouth is opening again. 20th Century Fox has confirmed that a “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” reboot is being developed. Original creator Joss Whedon is working with Monica Owusu-Breen (“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”) on a brand new story.
This “Buffy” won’t be a continuation of the original series starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, but will feature a brand-new Buffy, who will be African-American. There’s no network attached as of yet.
Besides Whedon, original executive producers Gail Berman, Fran Kazui and Kaz Kazui are also behind the revival (and Berman’s The Jackal Group partner Joe Earley is also attached). Fox 21 TV Studios is expected to pitch the new show to cable and streaming outlets this summer.

Hap: "That reminds me of the time when I was a blaxploitation film actor."
Red: "You were a blaxploitation film actor?"
Hap: "Well, not really an actor, Red... more like a blaxploitation film star."

Hap was everything he wanted to be...while being absolutely useless. But, who there was, but it was fun.
It should be a black feminazi with a transvestite girlfriend battling racism, homophobia, ICE, border patrol, and tax cuts.
Cable TV. No Thanks. 5000 channels and it All sucks.
There’s already a black vampire hunter character: Blade.
Why couldn’t they turn that into a series?

I love it! It’s been some years since I’ve watched it though. I’m a t.v. junkie and tend to get lost in a lot of shows!
Buffy was my introduction into “fandoms” (yes, I’m one of those nerds...kinda) and got me into the dreaded world of fanfiction. Haha.
I thought Whedon hated the Kuzuis.
There’s a pretty decent one with Cloak and Dagger on freeform.
Not watching. He is anti Trump.
I had the “hots” for Buffy.
I liked the original but doubt I would watch a remake. I also wonder if it will even make it past season one. It might work for a bit on the CW since they run that kind of stuff now.
Hollywood is so damned delusional. They keep foisting this diversity crap on audiences that DO NOT WANT IT.
Just like they tried to foist anti-Iraq War movies that were box office death, just so they could virtue signal.
And they try to do religious movies, but without God, like Noah.
The Buffy remake will star Whoopi Goldberg, killing off all those evil republican blood suckers, with Jeanine Pirro as head of the republican blood suckers.
He’s not just anti-Trump, he’s unhinged bat-shit deranged anti-Trump. Wise move to avoid this.
stupid reboots of earlier stupid shows, this is all they can come up with.
just shut them all down now. spare us all the craptacular garbage.
Because the most important part of making an entertaining story is to get all the diversity virtue signaling out in front where everyone can "ooooohhh and Ahhhhhh" how "Woke" you are.
Ok! You've convinced me...IAC she was the only virgin...{:-)
Never really watched Buffy, except a few episodes in reruns.
I noticed Charmed is returning with a black sista, hispanic sister and white sister. Mama witch apparently was a tad ‘loose’.
It is bad enough with remakes that they find decent writers, but when they try to ‘balance’ the characters and contents for social concerns, they typically become unwatchable. That is why so many remakes don’t last very long.
