Don’t reboot Buffy; continue the narrative with different Slayers!

Isn’t the whole point of a Slayer being chosen in “every generation” the perfect setup for exploring this world of demons and Slayers without having to reboot the original story with the same characters?

Seriously, we could have a Slayer TV show for DECADES if we followed the Doctor Who formula! Every series would feature a new Slayer and her story. It could be set in ANYWHERE in the world, from ANY time period.

For example: An African warrior who fights off the Romans by day, and tracks vampires by night. (She’d have a horse!) A scholar from the Spanish Golden Age who excels in research and secretly writes tales of fantasy based on her RL experience battling demons (inspiring a whole generation of girls). A 19th century Indian girl active in the Indian Independence Movement (I bet the Watchers’ Council wouldn’t like that, haha!). A cyborg from the future defending offworld territories (in a spaceship!) from species that want to annihilate the human race…

Each Slayer series would feature a different culture (why does it have to be American all the time?), and different historical events. Diversity would be a natural part of the series. Imagine the possibilities!
