silversea....Well, huh. I didn't expect them to do a Buffy sequel. I have mixed feelings on this, namely that I don't think I've watched any successful reboot/sequel series to date and I'm not sure if this can break the curse. I also really liked the 22 episode formula of Buffy, because it allowed everyone to have their screen time and get truly attached to characters, and made for some fun interactions with other characters people don't usually interact with (Spike and Joyce was always a joy and I loved seeing Buffy and Tara). You just don't get that with short seasons.
I guess what I'm mostly worried about is them ruining older Buffy. I always wanted her to be happy in the show. Let her retire from being an active Slayer, have some dogs or something, and be completely happy with her quiet and peaceful life without anything knocking her down!
I'm happy Joss Whedon's not involved in the show at least. Surprised about Chloe Zhao's involvement, but I hope that's a good thing. I'm not familiar with Nora Zuckerman and Lilla Zuckerman, so hopefully they are good writers who understand Buffy.
I'll really try my best to be cautiously optimistic about this, I hate being a doomsayer and I'd love to be proven wrong about my misgivings.
