Put down those stakes, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" fans. The planned reboot of the beloved vampire drama is less like a remake and more like a reimagining.

Last weekend brought the news that creator Joss Whedon would be working with writer Monica Owusu-Breen ("Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.") on a "Buffy" reboot, this time featuring a black lead. Fans were happy to get more "Buffy," but the idea that it might be a "do-over" that would simply plug in a black actress in Sarah Michelle Gellar's shoes incited backlash on social media.

Today, Owusu-Breen stepped forward on Twitter to provide a bit more insight — which left many fans sighing in relief.

She wrote, "There is only one Buffy. One Xander, one Willow, Giles, Cordelia, Oz, Tara, Kendra, Faith, Spike, Angel ... They can't be replaced. Joss Whedon's brilliant and beautiful series can't be replicated. I wouldn't try to."

She added, "So maybe, it could be time to meet a new Slayer ...."

Following a new Slayer would be very much in line with the series finale of "Buffy," which left room for an expansive Buffyverse. Owusu-Breen's statement makes it seem like the reboot/reimagining/sequel/whatever will focus on a new black Slayer and her circle of friends and enemies. And who knows, perhaps some familiar faces could pop up in this iteration, since the Slayer community isn't super large.
