I’m gagged in this real please say it’s real!
Emma Caulfield has posted it on her story saying “aaaand it’s out”!
I can’t believe this is happening!

I'm shocked this is actually happening. I'm nervous, too. The show is so special to me, I'd hate to see a continuation be poorly received. But I'm going to just remain cautiously optimistic. Having an Oscar-winner attached to direct is a pretty incredible start. People love this show so much, I have to believe that they'll take the appropriate care to get it right. And Hulu is obviously very happy with the pitch if they're already forming a writers room.
It feels quite brilliant to have an all-female team leading it, too.

Wow! This is not what I was expecting to see when I clicked on the thread. I've always been dubious about a Buffy continuation, but let me just enjoy this news!
I've always felt that something like Slayer could work. I know it's generic, but it also means that if Sarah decided to move on or if the slayer who was the focus of the show decided to leave then they could continue.
Praying this is real and doesn't wind up in development hell or cancelled after the pilot episode.
Same. My fragile heart couldn’t take it not even being picked up.
Having said that I think we should be good for at least 1 season based on the info we have (Sarah and OG producers on board, credible writers and director). Plus Wednesday is really popular for Netflix so that should give Hulu some confidence to green light a female led super natural show based on an existing IP.
SMG does appear cursed though when it comes to tv projects. Hopefully she can strike gold twice with Buffy!
It’s been flop after flop for her since Buffy ended, I’m not surprised she finally agreed to return to the role and I hope it works well for her. She deserves a hit.
Controversially, I’d keep references to the original to a minimum. New town. New slayer. Buffy in a supporting capacity, or co-lead.

Oh wow, I never expected this but I am so happy. I doubt Sarah would agree on this if she didn't think its worthwhile.
I can't wait to see Buffy now, how is she doing after everything, how are everyone doing. I mean, if they bring Xander back for example, he can't be the twat he was, he needs to evolve.

However much I’m against a reboot there is so much potential and hundreds of stories you could tell in this universe.
How about an anthology series with different episodes focusing on a different slayer, a witch or whatever supernatural being they want to add to the mix.
It would allow previous characters to have appearances without them committing to a whole season.

When I say recurring I don’t mean like she’d be a side character she’d still very much be THE character, but maybe a more elusive presence at first and to be introduced maybe more slowly in a “you guys are in a crisis, I’m on my way”, kind of way. it might be really exciting if they built up to her first appearance a bit before integrating her fully with the newer cast.
