Joss Whedon, who created the original series, is not involved in the animated project.
Oh so this is what his stuff on social media was about…I guess it’s better than nothing.
I hope this fits between the show and the movie.
Sounds like that’s the plan - tough to include Tudyk otherwise.
I guess its time for another re-watch.
This looks to be a nonstarter, especially after Hulu cancelled the Buffy reboot. Disney seems to be reigning in and focusing now that it has full control of Hulu.
If the IP was owned by WB or Paramount/CBS, it might have a chance, but this appears to be more of a case of Fillion and the some of the original creators trying to make a case to use the IP than any interest from Disney.
It sounds like they’re going to be shopping out around to non-Disney buyers, which is a bit of a rarity these days.
It’s hard to get a handle on what happened with the BtVS reboot, but one article I read suggested there were (unspecified) concerns with the pilot.
In a conversation that I saw elsewhere, there were points made regarding some fairly cringey elements in the original seasons that would not be well received by progressive audiences now. However, reworking these would invite backlash.
It’s a fine thing to thread around and it’s not obvious that the creators or Fillion are up for it. Fillion in particular has managed to alienate a lot of fans in the past decade.
He has? What did he do?
