Since Buffy the Vampire Slayer concluded in 2003, series lead Sarah Michelle Gellar seemed unwilling to revisit her iconic character. But as recently as last month, Gellar softened her stance towards a potential revival. Now, the word has come down that Gellar has signed on for a Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot, which is in the works at Hulu.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Gellar is currently the only performer attached to the new series, but her character, Buffy Summers, will reportedly not be the main character. Instead, the show is described as “the next chapter in the Buffyverse,” with a new slayer at the forefront.
The original series was created by Avengers director Joss Whedon. However, Whedon will not be involved with the revival series after facing allegations that he mistreated the female cast members of Buffy and its spinoff, Angel. Those allegations were amplified by an investigation into Whedon’s conduct while directing the Justice League reshoots, and his Hollywood career has been at a standstill since departing HBO’s The Nevers.

Gellar publicly distanced herself from Whedon, as did many of her former co-stars. But for now, it’s unclear if any of the other Buffy or Angel cast members will return for the new show. Poker Face veterans Nora and Lilla Zuckerman are the creators and showrunners of the Buffy reboot, with Eternals director Chloé Zhao slated to helm the project.
Gellar and Zhao will both be executive producers on the project alongside the Zuckermans and Gail Berman, one of the executive producers of the original show. Fran and Kaz Kuzui — producers of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie and the subsequent TV series — will also be attached as producers for this show, as will Dolly Parton through her Sandollar production studio.
