What doomed 'Buffy: New Sunnydale'?

Between the big budget and the beloved original series, Hulu set a high bar for the #Buffy reboot, and sources tell Lesley Goldberg the pilot "simply didn't clear it."

Sources close to Sarah Michelle Gellar, meanwhile, describe the effort as a "failure to launch."

But what was the stake in #NewSunnydale's heart? Was it the casting? Was it the scripts? What about the directed-by-an-Oscar-winner pilot episode itself?

Goldberg's got the answers, and a whole lot of behind the scenes happenings, at the link in bio
