Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a really iconic supernatural teen drama, and my favourite TV present of all time. The cult traditional, which is streaming with a Hulu subscription, is within the midst of a renaissance due to the Buffy reboot pilot that is being labored on. Sarah Michelle Gellar lately posted a photograph dump from the set, and seeing her with a wood stake in her hand is warming my nerdy coronary heart.
Oscar-winning Nomadland filmmaker Chloé Zhao is directing the Buffy reboot pilot, and the fandom is hoping that Hulu offers it a full season order. That is still to be seen, however SMG helps to buoy pleasure on-line due to an Instagram submit from the set. Test it out beneath:
Little Miss Likes to Struggle is again, and he or she’s armed together with her signature weapon for dusting vamps. Clearly this shot with Gellar and Zhao is simply the beginning of this picture dump, nevertheless it’s an exhilarating mixture, particularly given the prop stakes concerned. This can seemingly solely be one among many weapons our hero be utilizing if/when followers get to see new episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
The feedback part is full of followers excited to see SMG again in her signature function. She’s been on a roll with nostalgic roles lately, together with her shock cameo in I Know What You Did Final Summer time. Convey on the Sarah Michelle Gellar renaissance!
The primary picture is arguably essentially the most thrilling, nevertheless it’s enjoyable to get a peek behind the scenes on what it has been like filming the Buffy reboot pilot. We see her carrying round Buffy motion determine molded from her look in “Finish of Days”, the penultimate episode of the complete present. To at the present time I nonetheless assume Buffy‘s sequence finale is among the greatest in TV historical past.
Followers try to dissect each body from this submit, in hopes of discerning the story of the pilot. The sixth slide exhibits what appears to be like like a seashore or dessert location, with one fan theorizing:
Hmmmmm presumably re visiting the place of the first slayer? That desert appears to be like very acquainted ha ha
Truthfully, this may be legit. Whereas I am not saying I acknowledge the desert, it will make sense if Buffy introduced her new protégée to speak with the First Slayer within the reboot. She did this journey herself again in Season 5, as did the Potentials in Season 7. Hardcore stand will recall the First Slayer first debuted by way of goals within the Season 4 finale “Stressed”.
In fact, this is only one fan principle. However the truth that of us are already attempting to determine what’s occurring by way of these cryptic photographs exhibits that there is curiosity within the pilot presentation. Let’s simply hope {that a} season is ordered and we truly get to see what Gellar and Zhao labored on.
The largest query surrounding the potential Buffy reboot is that if/when different legacy characters will be part of the title character. There are a couple of standard selections, chief amongst them being Alyson Hannigan’s Willow. And since Giles was at all times providing knowledge, many followers additionally need to see Anthony Stewart Coronary heart return to that function. Sadly, Michelle Trachtenberg’s demise means we can’t be seeing the Summers sisters collectively.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer is streaming now on Hulu, which would be the dwelling of the reboot if its will get ordered. Fingers (and stakes) crossed that the streamer makes that announcement.
