Part 2/10:
The new Buffy series will be penned by sisters Nora and Laya Zuckerman, known for their work on Progeny, Haven, Suits, and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and staffed by Chloe Xiao as director, famed for Eternals. Notably, the absence of original showrunner Joss Whedon immediately raises eyebrows. Whedon, who created the original series and wrote the screenplay for Buffy, has been embroiled in multiple controversies, including allegations of toxic behavior and misconduct. His involvement was a defining aspect of the original show's tone and style, which—though beloved—carried a distinctly Whedon style of dialogue and storytelling.
