Buckle up, fans of Joss Whedon and badass teenage vampire killers, Buffy The Vampire Slayer is getting a reboot. THR reports that 20th Century Fox television has had a reboot in mind for a while now, but talks about actually putting one in motion began in the fall of 2017. Now that the studio has hired a writer for the show, things are really starting up.

Whedon has expressed apprehension about making a Buffy reboot in the past, saying, “Luckily most of my actors still look wonderful, but I’m not worried about them being creaky. I’m more worried about me being creaky as a storyteller. You don’t want that feeling that you should have left before the encore.” But with a new writer hired and the show on the way, he appears to have gotten over his earlier qualms.

Whedon will be executive producing this time around, and Monica Owusu-Breen, who worked with Whedon on Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, has been hired to write and produce the series, as well as serve as its showrunner.

Is this a good idea?
