Buffy in the works for a revival:
Quote:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer is getting revived. Per Deadline, a sequel series to the beloved supernatural drama is nearing a pilot order from Hulu. Sarah Michelle Gellar expected to star, reprising her signature role as Buffy Summers. No other returning stars are attached at this time.
Furthermore, Oscar winner Chloé Zhao, a self-professed lifelong Buffy fan, is set to direct the pilot, written by Nora and Lilla Zuckerman (Poker Face). The reboot hails from Buffy the Vampire Slayer studio 20th Television and Disney sibling Searchlight TV, which has Zhao under a first-look deal. A writers room is also being assembled, meaning that Hulu highly expects the pilot to go to series. If the Buffy sequel does get picked up, it would be the third in the franchise, following mothership Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003) and Angel (1999-2004).

I try to remain optimistic about things in general, but I can't see this doing well.
