development at 20th Century Fox Television.According to Variety.com, original series creator Joss Whedon is onboard to executive produce with writer Monica Owusu-Breen attached to write the

script.The rebooted series will see a black actress take over the title role, which was played in the series by Sarah Michelle Gellar.Gail Berman, Joe Earley, Fran Kazui and Kaz Kazui will

also executive produce. No network is currently attached to the series, but it will no doubt stir up a bidding war among various networks and streaming services when it is taken to

market.Breen's previous credits include "Agents of SHIElD", which is executive produced by Whedon. She also developed and served as showrunner on "Midnight, Texas" at NBC, but departed the

show after one season. She has also written and produced shows like "Charmed", "Alias", "Brothers&Sisters" and "Fringe", She is repped by WME.The original "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" series

was based on the 1992 film of the same name, which Whedon wrote and starred Kristy Swanson as Buffy. The show ran for seven seasons and 145 episodes and is frequently cited as one of the

best shows ever made. --IANSnv/qd
