Recasting Buffy The Vampire Slayer In 2022
A reboot of the cult classic television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer has been in the works for several years now, but who should play the core characters in 2022? The 1997 series Buffy the Vampire Slayer was itself a reboot of the 1992 movie of the same name, so a modern-day adaptation of the pop culture sensation was inevitable. Although Joss Whedon created the show, Whedon won't be showrunner of the new Buffy; Monica Owusu-Breen will be running the show instead. However, it has not yet been announced who will be playing the new Slayer or who will be cast as the members of Buffy's beloved Scooby Gang. There's still a mystery of which actor or actresses they think would be perfect for bringing Buffy Summers world out of the '90s and into the modern-day world of 2022.
Joss Whedon’s original premise of Buffy the Vampire Slayer centered around a high school girl named Buffy Summers living a normal life by day, but by night she defends the world from vampires. In the show, Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) was aided by her watcher Giles, aka Ripper (Anthony Stewart Head), and her high school friends Willow (Alyson Hannigan) and Xander (Nicholas Brendan). Mysterious vampires also visited Buffy; Spike (James Marsters) and Angel (David Boreanaz) often came to Buffy's aid. The pop-culture phenomenon that was Buffy the Vampire Slayer inspired a tenacious cult following that is still active 19 years after the show’s cancellation in 2003.
