Tonight will see the debut of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER on the UPN TV network, and the event has prompted two of its principals to talk about what lies ahead on the program.
While talking to the Los Angeles Times, executive producer Marti Noxon spoke of this seeming new start, saying, "This really will be a new direction for us. All of us on the show feel a new commitment and energy. There will still be monster mayhem, of course, but the themes will become more internal. The show will be very character-driven."
More specifically, Noxon talks about the path ahead, saying, "There are no more authority figures in Buffy's life, and she must take on a motherly role for her sister Dawn [Michelle Trachtenberg]. Their mother has died, and the two sisters only have each other. And we can also deal with some high school issues with Dawn that we didn't address with Buffy the first time around."
James Marsters, a.k.a. Spike, puts in his two cents on the new season, saying, "It's particularly exciting because the show is going to be about how one becomes their best self in the face of having the toughest job. In a way, the show is the same, but it's being allowed to grow organically. We're not making the mistake of keeping Buffy in high school."
