A reboot of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' is reportedly close to receiving a pilot order from Hulu, reigniting excitement among fans. Original star Sarah Michelle Gellar will return as an executive producer alongside Dolly Parton. The new series will be produced by Nora and Lila Zuckerman, who will also serve as the showrunners. Notably absent is Joss Whedon, the original series creator, following multiple allegations of creating a toxic workplace during the show's production, which has significantly influenced discussions around the reboot's creative direction and industry standards.
Whedon was accused of fostering a toxic work environment on the set of Buffy and its spinoff Angel. Carpenter alleged Whedon "abused his power".
Gellar and Parton are expected to lead the executive production team for the reboot, which aims to recapture the essence of the original series.
A report from Variety states that a pilot order for the Buffy reboot is nearing completion, sparking excitement among longtime fans of the series.
While the reboot gains traction, Joss Whedon's absence, due to past allegations, highlights the industry's accountability and evolving standards regarding workplace behavior.
