   Speaking to E! News, Hannigan admitted she has no idea if there are any   
   plans for her or her husband, fellow Buffyverse alum Alexis Denisof, to be   
   involved with the reboot, but showed confidence that Whedon’s involvement   
   will lead to a quality show.   
      
   “As long as Joss is involved it will be good, I’m sure,” she said.   
      
   Still, Hannigan believes the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer series holds   
   up just fine against modern shows as it is.   
      
   “That show was just so incredible and I think sort of ahead of its time,”   
   she said. “Honestly, they should just put reruns on primetime. I feel like   
   the old show would still hold up. At least that’s what people keep telling   
   me.   
      
   “Now the fans of the show, their children are watching so we have a whole   
   other generation. But I don’t know I just hope [the reboot] is as good as   
   ours was.”   
      
   Little is known about the new Buffy series other than that it is seeking a   
   woman of color to portray the show’s lead slayer. Despite initial reports,   
   Owusu-Breen has suggested that they are not recasting Buffy Summers, played   
   by Sarah Michelle Gellar in the original Buffy TV series, but seeking a new   
   slayer for a new generation.   
      
   "There is only one Buffy. One Xander, one Willow, Giles, Cordelia, Oz, Tara,   
   Kendra, Faith, Spike, Angel... They can't be replaced. Joss Whedon's   
   brilliant and beautiful series can't be replicated. I wouldn't try to. But   
   here we are, twenty years later... And the world seems a lot scarier. So   
   maybe, it could be time to meet a new Slayer...And that's all I can say."
