If they would just stop it with the reboot shit and instead just make a new show featuring a different slayer, then they can sort of shuffle the plot of the original show about and make it their own new special thing at little to no extra effort.
Creativity is dead, so here’s a freebie:
The Slayer and her Watcher end up in an abandoned house which is supposedly haunted. First night there introduces a ghost who was sacrificed by a cult to raise a demon out of hell. Instantly three characters in the show. One might even call it a gang. Someone from the old cult returns to the house, gets their behind handed to them by the Slayer. They were the boyfriend of the ghost, and repent upon being congronted with the unlive of their former gf, so you get your witchy demon worshipper in the party and an impossible love situation everyone goes for. Meanwhile the local vamps aren’t too happy with the Slayer moving onto their turf and wake up an elderly vampire who was snoozing for the better part of the past century and has plans to make his clan feared again. Unfortunately his grandson and the Slayer meet while out and about and hit it off (Buffy & Angel-style).
You can pull season 1 out of that with little effort.

From the article:
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer: New Sunnydale,” would have starred Ryan Kiera Armstrong as the new slayer, with original series star Gellar reprising her role as Buffy in a recurring capacity.
I think the article is flawed in calling this a “reboot”, since it was supposed to be exactly what you asked for: a new show focused on a different character, in the same continuity of the previous show. But the point is moot, given that it’s dead now anyway.
To be honest, I did not read the article before writing all that out. My bad. I agree that a new show focused on a new character should not be called a reboot.
Nope, it was late at night and I was throwing my frustration at getting nowhere with a computer which doesn’t want to boot. You’re absolutely right I did not read the article. My bad.

Isn’t that just a soft reboot?
It’s a revival.
You didn’t read anything did you?

We’re all human. Admitting it is mature.
