The high budget for the pilot of the Buffy reboot was likely an issue in the current television economic climate, leading executives to potentially delay saying no.

“And one of the things about it is, you know, the new economics of television and things do have to get cheaper and cheaper. And this they say that the budget for this pilot was about 17 million. Uh, and that you know the per hour cost of the series would would not be far off that as well.”

The decision to cancel the Buffy reboot after so much development and involvement from high-profile talent is shocking and suggests mismanagement.

“And they've pulled the plug on it remarkably late and it's absolutely shocking to everyone involved in it.”
