Here are my predictions for the Buffyverse.
The comic books will continue for another five years, until Joss is too busy to oversee much and the comics have left cannon. We will continue to get comics as long as we buy them, but they won't be as exciting as Season 8 or After the Fall because they won't have Joss's cannon stamp.
Dr. Horrible will become a pop culture icon, and will possibly get a full length big screen film.
We will never get our Ripper movie, and we will eventually give up. We'll be sad about it, but after a certain point, optimism will proove moot. Until...
Ten years from now, Fox will decide to reboot Buffy in a 12 episode miniseries. It will flop, but we'll find it kind of oddly interesting.
Twenty years from now, the Johnny Depp of the day will come out that he's always wanted to play Angel, and because he's enormously popular and more than slightly rich, there will be a modern Buffy movie. We, the old fans, will come out in droves and have mixed feelings about it, but over all we'll be happy to see Buffy again.
The success of the film cues another revival series within five years. This version will be much better than the 2018 version. Not as good as the original, but still much better than anything else on TV at the time. The new show goes on for five years and has two big screen sequels.
30 years from now, another new series will start, based on Buffy's world but with another Slayer as the main character. This version is very popular with a brand new bunch of fans.
35 years from now, the series will die again, but still be very popular.
40 years from now, most of the actors we liked from the show will either have died or be very old. The ones who are left do a radio show, straight to datafile version of the original show, which is pretty entertaining to the diehard fans that are left.
We're approaching the ten year mark, only it'll be earlier than I imagined, and rather than rebooting via miniseries, we're doing it via film. What does this mean for the future of the Buffyverse?
