Marti Noxon , executive manufacturer and writer of Buffy the Vampire Slayer , was n’t a big lover ofthe new show ’s announcement , at least not at first . Calling the original show a “ sacred text , ” Noxon was steadfastly in the No Remake ! pack . Having learned more about what ’s in stock , she ’s changed her tune .
Noxon shared her initial reluctance about the news that Buffy was coming back , a surprise which was revealed during San Diego Comic - Con ( though not really part of a panel or event there ) . “ I ’ll be true , ab initio I was like , ‘ Nooo ! Do n’t touch the sacred text edition ! ’ ” Noxon toldTheWrap . “ But the more I study about it , the more excited I got . ”
This new show is being helmed by Monica Owusu - Breen ( and executive director produce by original creator Joss Whedon ) . Owusu - Breenhas promisedthat this personification is not actually a reboot , but a unexampled news report with a new Slayer , who will be a woman of coloring material . Noxon read that gave her a lot more confidence , both in the new show and its showrunner .
“ I ’m shake that there is a female showrunner , and that she ’s a woman of colour writing about a womanhood of semblance , ” Noxon told TheWrap . “ So I ’m really really pumped for it . ”
Noxon has been getting asked about Buffy a lot latterly . Just a few calendar month ago she was asked about how the feminism of the show hold up in 2018 and delvedinto the treatment of the character Tara(played by Amber Benson ) .
