   This time it might really come true:   
      
   "One of the most beloved TV series of the past two decades, Joss   
   Whedon’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer, is making a comeback. A reboot of the   
   supernatural drama is in development at Fox 21 TV Studios, the   
   cable/streaming division of 20th Century Fox TV, the studios behind the   
   original series, which ran for seven seasons, first on the WB and then   
   on UPN.   
      
      
   Midnight, Texas creator Monica Owusu-Breen has been tapped as writer,   
   executive producer and showrunner of the new Buffy the Vampire Slayer,   
   with the original series’ creator and showrunner 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, which will be pitched to streaming and cable networks   
   this summer, will be contemporary, building on the mythology of the   
   original. Per the producers: “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.”   
      
   According to sources, the diversity in the show’s description reflects   
   the producers’ intention for the new slayer to be African American. The   
   sources cautioned that the project is still in nascent stages with no   
   script, and many details are still in flux."

               There have  already been two black Slayers - Nikki Wood and   
   Kendra.   Not to mention the Potentials that became Slayers. So no new   
   ground would be broken regardless of what race/nationality the new one would   
   be.
