Earlier this year[2019], Bryant had an arc on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D and says it was a fantastic experience. “That was a blast. First of all, it’s an awesome show that has been going on for a while and has tons of fans, for good reason. It shoots here in LA [where I live], which is a lovely departure from [working away from home]. So that was a beautiful thing to do,” he shares.

“We were so spoiled on Haven to have such a great community around the show, really fantastic friends, all the actors and crew and production. It was just a really incredible family that we developed over a number of years out in that weird place in Nova Scotia.”

“[Since then], I have learned not expect that necessarily on other projects. And my experience immediately on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D was that they have also created something really warm and welcoming and loving and a beautiful family that they’ve got going on. I was really, really lucky to be welcomed there.”

Poker Face (prods. Nora & Lilla Zuckerman).

[Rian] Johnson’s first foray into episodic television is a fun one. Poker Face works so well as a disposable but highly enjoyable crime series because it understands every element of its genre fare and sets up and picks its pieces apart with such cinematic flair. [Natasha] Lyonne delivers an amusing performance as a reluctant gumshoe and human lie detector machine. Each episode leaves you primed for next week’s entry.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR IS RETURNING FOR A BUFFY REBOOT AND CHLOÉ ZHAO IS DIRECTING THE PILOT. I'M LITERALLY SCREAMING THIS IS BETTER THAN ANYTHING I COULD HAVE EVER DREAMED OF 😱😱😱😱😱😱

"So….. you might have heard some news this week, but I realize you haven’t heard from me.

Three years ago, I got a call from my dear friend and mentor, Gail Berman. She told me that she wanted me to sit down with Chloé Zhao to hear her take on a potential “Buffy” revival. I was blown away that Chloé even knew who I was, but, as I’ve always done, I told Gail that I just didn’t see a way for the show to exist again. We’d always been aligned on that, but this time I heard something different in her voice. I eventually agreed to go (mainly just to meet Chloé) and our twenty minute coffee quickly turned into a four hour adventure. We laughed, we cried, but mostly we both talked about how much this show means to us.

While I didn’t agree to anything at that meeting, I did shock myself by agreeing to continue the conversation. These conversations did, in fact, continue over the next few years and eventually we added the incredible Nora and Lilla Zuckerman to our little tribe until ultimately, one day, we landed on an idea.

I have always listened to the fans and heard your desire to revisit “Buffy” and her world, but it was not something I could do unless I was sure we would get it right. This has been a long process, and it’s not over yet. I promise you, we will only make this show if we know we can do it right. And I will tell you that we are on the path there.

I feel so lucky to be on this journey with these four unbelievably talented women, all of whom love “Buffy” as much as I do. And as much as you do. Thank you to all the fans who never stopped asking for this. This will be for you."

A followup series is nearing a pilot order from Hulu, with Sarah Michelle Gellar expected to star, reprising her signature role as Buffy Summers, sources said. Oscar winner Chloé Zhao, a self-professed lifelong Buffy fan, is set to direct the pilot, written by Nora and Lilla Zuckerman (Poker Face).

Beyond the pilot order, I hear the reboot is starting a writers room soon, a sign that Hulu and the studios have high expectations for the project going to series. It is unclear yet whether other original Buffy cast members would return; that is considered likely.

Described as the next chapter in the Buffyverse, the new incarnation is executive produced by Gellar, Zhao, Nora and Lilla Zuckerman as well as the original series’ executive producers Gail Berman of the Jackal Group and Fran Kuzui & Kaz Kuzui via Suite B. Also executive producing the pilot is Dolly Parton whose company Sandollar was producer on the original. Buffy creator Joss Whedon, who also wrote the 1992 movie the series was based on, has no involvement in the reboot.

!!!!

First all, click bait title but as the first paragraph indicated its a FOLLOW UP SERIES. It's the NEXT Chapter.

This new show is NOT a reboot.

My two cents here is-- of course, Buffy can come back without Joss Whedon.

I just hope there's some old writers (Jane Espenson, etc) who can come in as consulting producers on the other hand: The main writers are from Poker Face which had a case of the week style of episodes with some whimsy!

Also! Gail Berman is back including Fran and Kaz Kuzui the original executive producers and DOLLY PARTON.

Also, SMG gets to be an executive producer now on Buffy, something she wasn't given. I'm GLAD.

THEN, there's a whole Chloe Zhao of it all, this pilot is gonna be lyrical and beautiful and the most tone poem of all Buffys. It'll be the later season BtVS where it had experimental episodes and specials.

And, yes, this show can be successful without Joss Whedon.

'Cause you know he wrote and over saw the Buffy Season 8 comics onwards (and aside from Angel and Faith), I would throw the whole comics out the window. (Xander and Dawn?? Ugh. No.)

(Buffy's bisexuality being canon though, they can keep).

Unfortunately, Eliza Dushku won't be part of this return because of Michael Weatherly.

Xander, I wouldn't mind not seeing again. I did like later season Xander but Nicholas Brendan has burned too many bridges and good will.

Weirdly, I don't know if Alyson Hannigan will return. Maybe she will, Sarah and Alyson don't have bad blood, and work is work.

I do want to see Anya and Cordelia back though. This is the buffyverse where no one stays dead! Also, Anthony Stewart Head making a cameo would be so fun! I know Seth Green might like to do a cameo because Green and SMG are good friends.

TBH, I don't want to see Andrew or the vampire boys anywhere near this production. At least not the first year.

(But really, at all. It's gonna be ship wars again, and honestly, I am too old to live through the stupid Spike Wars again. Also, Spike pulling focus from Buffy. No thank you. I'm done with that, no more re-litigating.)

Apparently Sarah really enjoyed doing Dexter and realized there is a way to get a show back, and this is what got her to changer her mind about reprising the role of Buffy.

CHLOE ZHAO STOP TAKING MY DREAM JOBS

This is not a DRILL

A Buffy reboot, with Sarah, without Joss, female led, it might actually be good? Oh my! Thank you Dolly Parton!

Buffy The Vampire Slayer maybe returning with Sarah Michelle GelIar. I saw a similar story on a less well known site and dismissed it but Deadline are usually a good source so it looks like it could be happening.

I’m a huge fan of the show but I’m conflicted here’s why.

Although Disney didn’t officially comment it was reported by some that they cancelled Season 2 of audio drama Slayers: A Buffyverse Story because this would cause ‘confusion’ amongst fans. As they were believed to developing a TV project.

I personally think they should give the fan base more credit other franchises such as Star Wars and Star Trek have books, TV series all based different timelines and their fans don’t get ‘confused’.

I was a huge fan of Slayers because we got to hear a lot of the original cast return to their roles. Albeit some on a new path in an alternate universe. It provided a better outcome for some much loved characters including Tara Maclay played by Amber Benson who also co-wrote and co-directed the drama.

As I said above it was set in an alternative reality/universe time wise it was between the end of the original series and set years before any new TV series so I fail to see how fans could be confused. Especially as the new TV show doesn't appear to be a reboot rather a sequel so why couldn't there have been space for Slayers as well?

In all likelihood given the time it would take to bring this new TV series to the screen if it gone ahead Season 2 of Slayers could have been recorded and released well before the TV show made its debut so where is the confusion?

I want to stress here that I'm not blaming Sarah or anyone involved with the new TV project ultimately it's not their decision what Disney decided to cancel. I have nothing against them for wanting to be involved.

It's just a hard thing to get my head around the fact that something I wanted for years namely the return of Buffy. In all likelihood led to the cancellation of Slayers which gave me back some of the characters that I loved so much. I still don’t know why studio bosses didn't think the two could coexist.

Ultimately Buffy introduced me to actors that have given me countless hours of joy. I've made friends that I never would have if not for Buffy. For these reasons and more I'm glad that it looks like it might return but I'm so sad that Slayers: A Buffyverse Story will not and that's why I'm conflicted.
