Initially greenlit by 20th Century Fox in 2002, it went ultimately unproduced and unaired when no network was willing to buy the series.

The series would have taken place in the middle of Buffy season 1, as writer Jeph Loeb described the continuity as "Episode 7.5".

[1] Whedon and Loeb would later revisit the style of the series in the Season Eight comic story "After These Messages... We'll Be Right Back!".

Joss Whedon and Jeph Loeb were to be executive producers for the show, and most of the cast from Buffy would return to voice their characters.

Various key actors, including Anthony Stewart Head, did voice work, and artwork was produced to make a four-minute presentation.

Loeb explained that networks find the show difficult since it would be too adult to air with children's television, but not suitable to many people in a prime-time slot.

[3]In an interview with TV Guide in September 2005, Whedon announced that the series was effectively dead.

[9] On August 26, 2008, Jeph Loeb declared in an interview to MTV: Everything still exists — the designs, the scripts.

However, all agreed that a revival of the series would be dependent on Joss Whedon, who remarked that he had moved on from producing Buffy media for television.
