Interviews | Steven S. DeKnight

Picture So, at what stage is the Buffy animated series at?

We have, I believe, five scripts already written. I�ve done one, Jane Espenson has done a couple and it�s a great experience. When I was first brought in to interview, I was brought in to interview for the animated show and I was shown rough sketches of the characters and some of the sets. I loved what I saw, I was dying to work on the show and I was hoping once I was hired on the live action [show], I would still get a chance to work on it.

It�s going to be an amazing show. It�s funny, it�s exciting, it�s all the huge gigantic action that we can�t do in a live action show - so the sky�s the limit. There�s a lot of ideas that they�ve had in the past five seasons that were great ideas but they just couldn�t do, budget-wise.

So we get to do all those cool, high school stories that we couldn�t tell back in High School. Plus, it�s a return to the classic Buffy, the way it all started, with all the teenagers and high jinks. It�s going to be absolutely amazing.
