Good Boy
According to Deadline, Shudder has acquired Good Boya haunted house story told from the perspective of a family dog. Not to be confused with the upcoming Bad Boya serial killer story from the perspective of a pet dog, Good Boy is said to concern Indy, a dog “who finds himself on a new adventure with his human owner–and best friend–Todd, leaving city life for a long-vacant family home in the country. From the start, two things are abundantly clear: Indy is wary of the creepy old house, and his affection for Todd is unwavering. Indy’s new world is immediately filled with unease: he senses invisible presences, follows phantom tracks, receives chilling warnings from a ghostly dog, and is haunted by glimpses of the previous resident’s gruesome demise. When a dark influence begins to grip Todd, Indy must fight a malevolence intent on pulling him into the afterlife.”

Carrie

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
During a recent interview with Elite Daily, Sarah Michelle Gellar stated the leaked details on the new Buffy the Vampire Slayer are “all fake.”
Those are all fake characters. That thing that got released is all fake.
Meanwhile, speaking to Deadline, TV Studios Chief Eric Schrier says the reboot’s origins did not come from an executive demand for more Buffy.
In the case of Buffy, it stemmed out of Karey Burke and [Hulu Originals and ABC Entertainment Scripted President] Simran Sethi had always wanted to try to figure out a way to reboot that show. Our partners at Searchlight Television, who I work with as well, have a deal with Chloé Zhao. It ends up that Chloé Zhao loves Buffy, so we put them together. And out of that came the idea. Sarah Michelle Gellar has been a part of it from the get-go as well; she is an executive producer. [Executive producer] Gail Berman is back; she’s been behind the scenes trying to pull it all together. We have Nora and Lilla Zuckerman writing it, whom we have a deal with; they’re great.
