What happened? Acker says "Fox couldn't get it together the way Joss wanted to do them." That could mean a lot of things, but I choose to believe that after the mega-failure of Serenity Joss has burned up all his freebies and if he wants to keep working for anyone he's now stuck doing things their way. They gave him some rope with Serenity and he hung himself. Whatever Joss does next, expect him to be kept on a tighter reign. He probably just didn't want to do Buffy under those circumstances. It is after all, his baby. Better to let it simply rest.
J August Richards, another "Angel" alum confirmed what Acker told SyFy Portal. It doesn't sound like there's much of a future now for any of Joss's fanboy properties. "Firefly", "Buffy", "Angel"; it's all dead. Hug your DVD box sets Whedonites, it's all you have.
