With news last week that Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse officially got the cancellation axe from FOX, there’s all kinds of speculation about what’s next for the captain of the Whedonverse. There’s still talk about Whedon’s digital studio plan, which would include a second season of his web musical Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog.
But first up might be something else, especially with Whedon’s The Cabin in the Woods film pushed to 2011. Sci-Fi Wire spotted a casting breakdown for a new Buffy the Vampire Slayer web series in the works. Jane Espenson recently talked to A Comicbook Orange about her writing work on the Buffy Season 8 comic book series, which could come into play in this new project.
Whedon isn’t officially listed on the casting breakdown, though casting director Jeff Shuter (Invincible) is.
Based on the breakdown, the series will be based on the comics and feature the characters Twilight, the Big Bad of Season Eight, and evil British socialite Slayer Lady Genevieve Savidge, who plots to usurp Buffy’s place in the Slayer hierarchy. (Sci-Fi Wire)

It’s kind of driving me batsh*t that almost everyone is reporting this with the tease of Whedon’s maybe involvement despite not one single reporter actually having a source saying anything of the kind. We don’t have sweeps week on the Web, so maybe everyone could tone it down?
I doubt it. It’s just a motion comic, so he probably just gave Dark Horse the go ahead to do it. The only thing differentiating this from other motion comics is that they seem to be looking for multiple voice actors as opposed to just one or two, which is good. But, all in all, it’s still a motion comic… so I’m not overly hopeful about Joss being involved in it. I think it’s much more likely that he’s going to go ahead with the Dr. Horrible sequel.
