It was announced a few years back that “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” was getting a small screen reboot – without Sarah Michelle Gellar – but what’s the latest on that project?

According to TV line, the “Buffy” reboot has been put “on pause,” which comes as no big surprise given we haven’t heard a peep about the project in a couple years now.

TV Line’s scoop comes courtesy of executive producer Gail Berman, who provided the update in today’s new episode of The Hollywood Reporter‘s TV’s Top 5 podcast.

Midnight, Texas creator Monica Owusu-Breen had been tapped as writer, executive producer and showrunner of the new “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” with the original series’ creator and showrunner Joss Whedon set to executive produce alongside original series’ exec producers Gail Berman, Fran Kazui and Kaz Kazui as well as Joe Earley from Berman’s Jackal Group.

“The new version will be contemporary, building on the mythology of the original,” we were told in 2018.

“Like our world, it will be richly diverse, and like the original, some aspects of the series could be seen as metaphors for issues facing us all today,” the producers had teased.

This year marks the 25th anniversary(!) of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”

Created by Joss Whedon, the original series ran from 1997 to 2003.
