Within the many years since its time on TV, Buffy the Vampire Slayer has continued to have a cult following. There have been hopes and desires of extra episodes at some point throughout that point, however Sarah Michelle Gellar has largely appeared towards it. However it seems to be like that is about to alter as a pilot for a Buffy reboot is coming collectively, with SMG again within the titular position.
For some time now, Buffy has been out there to stream with a Hulu subscription. However now it looks like the streamer is able to make a much bigger connection to the ’90s teen present. It was revealed by Deadline {that a} sequel collection is near getting a pilot order from Hulu, with Sarah Michelle Gellar as soon as once more taking part in Sunnydale’s protector. What’s extra, it’s “thought of possible” that extra of the unique solid can be again.
The excellent news would not cease there, both. As a result of the doable Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot pilot could be directed by Oscar winner Chloé Zhao. What’s extra, it’s going to be written by Nora and Lilla Zuckerman, who labored on Poker Face (which is streaming with a Peacock subscription).
Solely time will inform if/when this pilot order really goes by, however it definitely appears possible that new Buffy content material goes to be filmed quickly. Clearly the subsequent step could be seeing if it will get a collection order, however what followers actually need to know is what different Buffy solid members could be becoming a member of Gellar as members of the Scooby Gang.
The very best Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes normally make the most of its ensemble solid, so there are a variety of beloved actors that followers like myself want to see return. Chief amongst them is Alyson Hannigan’s Willow, together with Buffy’s sister Daybreak (Michelle Trachtenberg). Xander can be excessive on this record, however solely time will inform if actor Nicholas Brendon’s arrests will issue right into a casting determination.
Sarah Michelle Gellar’s return as Buffy is a dream come true for a lot of followers on the market, and appeared unlikely for years. It could be inconceivable to think about any reboot with out her, as a lot of the present’s success could be attributed to her sophisticated and shifting efficiency because the titular Vampire Slayer.
Gellar has been maintaining busy with quite a lot of tasks that tie into Buffy‘s supernatural world. After starring inWolf Pack she’s been showing in Dexter: Unique Sin. However the information about her as soon as once more staking vampires and saving the world (so much) goes to ellicit one other degree of fan pleasure solely. Hopefully we get extra info quickly, even when the growing reboot would not make it into the 2025 TV premiere record. Till then, I will stream the soundtrack of “As soon as Extra with Feeling” till we hear an replace.
