The Firefly and Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator, and The Avengers director, has an “epic” new sci-fi series that was just greenlit by HBO.

Titled The Nevers, the series is described as “an epic science fiction drama about a gang of Victorian women who find themselves with unusual abilities, relentless enemies, and a mission that might change the world.”

Says Whedon, who will serve as showrunner: “I honestly couldn’t be more excited. The Nevers is maybe the most ambitious narrative I’ve created, and I can’t imagine a better home for it than HBO. Not only are they the masters of cinematic long-form, but their instant understanding of my odd, intimate epic was as emotional as it was incisive. It’s been too long since I created an entirely new fictional world, and the HBO team offer not just scope and experience, not just ‘prestige,’ but a passionate collaboration. I could go on, but — I’m impatiently grateful to say — I have work to do.”

HBO won the series in a bidding war with rival Netflix, sources say. It gave the project a direct-to-series order, a relative rarity for the network.

Yaaaas! I'm a big Buffy fan and was hoping he'd create a new TV series some time.

I’m pretty confident we can also expect some guest stars from his older shows, as he usually does when he hops on a new series :nooo:

Netflix needs to keep losing these bidding wars so they don’t have to keep raising their prices lmao weren’t they hundreds of millions in debt?

Joss really shines when he is writing strong women!

I wish he'd do a sequel/spinoff series of Buffy instead. But let's see where this goes.
