In Boom! Studio’s new futuristic mini-series Buffy The Last Vampire Slayer, she’s getting on a bit
“I’m getting too old for this shizzle.”
WITH WRITER CASEY GILLY describing it as “apocalypse lite,” Buffy The Last Vampire Slayer is set in a dystopian future that’s very familiar except for one crucial difference, as it chronicles a decidedly older Buffy’s battles against the now-dominant bloodsucking hordes.
“There’s been a global disaster that has rendered the sun basically dormant,” Gilly tells Red Alert. “The world has figured out a way to survive and people are carrying on with life. But society has expanded, as vampires are now out in the open and we explore what that means in terms of laws, rights and protections that would go into place if such a thing were to happen. What would it mean if suddenly thousands of undead citizens needed to be accounted for in social and political infrastructures, and how would it impact the people who had fought against them?”
