Deadline reported that the executive producer Midnight, Texas Monica Owusu-Breen would have written the pilot script, as well as executive products and serve as a showrunner for the series. The Hollywood Reporter reports that Joss Whedon, who created the TV series and film Buffy is supposed to produce the reboot series. (Bustle reached out to representatives for Owusu-Breen and Whedon to comment, but did not hear it immediately.)

The Hollywood Reporter noted that the restart of Buffy currently only networked and will presented to several streaming services and cable networks.
In an interview of THR in March 2017, Whedon said he was open to the idea of a Buffy reboots, but hesitated to arrive. "I see a little of what I call the monkey paw in these reboots," he said.
Whedon continued:
"You bring something back, and even though it's exactly as good, the experience can not be, you've already experienced it , and some of what was great was going on for the first time, to meet expectations and adapt to the climate, which is not easy, fortunately most of my actors are still gorgeous, but I'm not afraid that they are squeaky. "
A year later, in March 2018, Gary Newman, CEO of Fox Television Group, said at the conference of the INTV Israel felt that a restart Buffy was definitely possible, according to The Hollywood Reporter . " Buffy is probably our most mature show for a remake, it's something we talk about frequently, "said Newman, according to the publication."

The main reason for the restart? Newman pointed out at the conference that Buffy's fan base remains dedicated to the series – and it's a great actor for him in deciding to restart a show. "If there is not a fan base of pbadionate fans, a feeling of nostalgia, I do not really see the need to bring the show back," he said, according to THR It looks like Buffy is about to save the world … a lot in 2018.
