- Sarah Michelle Gellar reveals insights about the reissue of "Buffy"
Get ready, Slayer fans! Your favorite vampire hunter is making a comeback, but things ain't gonna be the same. Sarah Michelle Gellar, the fiery lady who brought Buffy Summers to life, has spilled the beans on a reboot of the iconic series, "Buffy - The Vampire Slayer".
Yep, you heard it right. But here's the catch – Buffy won't be the lead this time around. Instead, she'll be mentoring a new vampire hunter, whose identity stays shrouded in mystery. Buffy's world might not bear her name anymore, but it's set to be the next chapter in the fucking terrifying and hilarious Buffyverse[1][2].
The Fresh Faces behind the Scenes
Prepare for some serious female power, Slayers. The reboot's crew is mostly ladies, including Oscar winner Chloé Zhao ("Nomadland"), who'll direct the pilot and has some deep-rooted love for "Buffy". The Zuckerman sisters, Nora and Lila ("Suits"), will take care of the scriptwriting. Gail Berman, Fran Kuzui, and Kaz will produce the series, with country star Dolly Parton producing as well. Parton has a history with the original series, having worked with her production company Sandollar Entertainment but remained uncredited at the time[1][2].
Sarah Michelle Gellar seems hyped as fuck about the project. "I can hardly believe it when I walk onto the set and see Gail Berman, the Zuckermans, and Chloé Zhao," she told "People". "It's a fucking amazing team. I used to dream about a day when Chloé Zhao would call me up and want to work together," Gellar continued[3][4].
No word yet on who else from the OG crew will return, but fingers crossed for some familiar faces[4].
