Buffy the Vampire Slayer mastermind Joss Whedon is finally returning to TV.Whedon has just signed a deal with Fox to create a drama series called Dollhouse, starring none other than Eliza Dushku (pictured at right), a.k.a. rogue slayer Faith.
The show has received a seven-episode commitment for 2008. It will chronicle the exploits of a group of individuals who are “imprinted with personality packages,” which means they can assume a variety of identities (complete with language skills, physical talents, memories, etc.) to be used for all types of tasks. When these missions are over, the individuals have their memories erased and reside in a guarded laboratory known as the Dollhouse. Dushku’s Echo, however, is slowly coming of consciousness.
Whedon likens the concept to the Frankenstein myth. He says, “It’s, ‘Who made me, who am I, and why am I?’”
The Fall 2008 TV season just got a lot better.
