PC??? Below is the write up from Amazon. Maybe the book will just be truthful instead of PC. I've ordered it and will let people know what my view is after I read it. I'm very curious about how a network change affected the show. I don't remember it changing networks. I want to know what all the actors have to say. I also read that the book talks about certain episodes. Some of us really had great conversations about individual episodes.
Rumor has it that there will be a reboot of this show, but it is only rumor at this point.
Katz—with the help of the show’s cast, creators, and crew—reveals that although Buffy contributed to important conversations about gender, sexuality, and feminism, it was not free of internal strife, controversy, and shortcomings. Men—both on screen and off—would taint the show’s reputation as a feminist masterpiece, and changing networks, amongst other factors, would drastically alter the show’s tone.
Katz addresses these issues and more, including interviews with stars Sarah Michelle Gellar, Charisma Carpenter, Emma Caulfield, Amber Benson, James Marsters, Anthony Stewart Head, Seth Green, Marc Blucas, Nicholas Brendon, Danny Strong, Tom Lenk, Bianca Lawson, Julie Benz, Clare Kramer, K. Todd Freeman, Sharon Ferguson; and writers Douglas Petrie, Jane Espenson, and Drew Z. Greenberg; as well as conversations with Buffy fanatics and friends of the cast including Stacey Abrams, Cynthia Erivo, Lee Pace, Claire Saffitz, Tavi Gevinson, and Selma Blair.

Oh thank you for the heads up. I can only imagine the book (the new one) will be super PC given the fact that its, well 2022....and that seems to be the "thing" these days. Well it aint my thing! lol!
So now it's "super PC" to simply acknowledge the multiple accounts of Joss Whedon's abusive behavior towards certain cast members? I don't see how a new book about Buffy could possibly ignore the subject and be responsible. It's been well-documented in not only the media, but in public posts from victims. And in a recent interview with Joss Whedon himself, let's just say he doesn't come off great. Apparently people can't speak out about abuse they suffered now without being called "PC"?

I think bad behavior by Joss (and perhaps others) will be acknowledged, addressed, and discussed -- as it should be. I don't think it will be the primary focus of the book.
