Buffy is one of my absolute favorite shows (I've rewatched the entire series many many times) and I absolutely would not want a reboot. I'm perfectly content with the comics, tyvm.

A spinoff series would be okay, though. Ripper? Definitely, if they can cast the right people for Giles and Ethan. The Adventures of Darla and Angelus and Spike and Dru in the late 1800s? Bring it. A post-apocalyptic Fray running around Scything? I'm more than ready.

Totally. Lately genre fiction has been obsessed with expanded universes, even for series and franchises that don't lend themselves to that kind of world building. Buffy has always been set up for a big expanded universe. They could do an anthology series about different slayers as well as the other things you suggested.

Just came to say I've always been totally amazed that no one pitched a "past Slayers" show. Slayer in the Victorian Era, Slayer in the Civil War, Slayer in the Stone Age - there's so much potential there just waiting to be mined.

Heck, even in the original show itself, I was surprised they didn't explore past Slayers more deeply. We never even found out Buffy's direct predecessor.

I actually have a couple of books from years ago that are short story collections about past slayers. Its done by multiple writers so some of the stories are stronger/better than others (and I think I stopped buying them because one of them was just so unrelentingly depressing) but they really explore a lot of different settings and time periods and was pretty culturally diverse from what I remember. 'Tales of the Slayer (volumes 1, 2, etc)' I think? Not a show but it might help fill that past Slayers need a bit for you.

Aw yeah, the 'Tales of the Slayer' series. Covered Slayers from antiquity right up until modern times (like the Slayer who crossed paths with Spike in the 70s... I think we got a bit more info on her backstory in one of them). I loved reading those. *has a looksie*... and it appears there were 4 volumes in total! Might have to track them down again myself.
