"Buffy Reboot in Development, Sarah Michelle Gellar to Return"

Author : Zachary Update:Apr 20,2025

It looks like Buffy might be slaying again at Hulu.

According to Variety, a reboot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is on the verge of happening at Hulu, with the original star Sarah Michelle Gellar in discussions to reprise her iconic role as the vampire-slaying hunter. While the series will introduce a new Slayer as its central character, Gellar is expected to appear as a recurring character.

Adding to the excitement, Academy Award-winning director Chloé Zhao, acclaimed for her work on Nomadland and Eternals, is in talks to direct and executive produce the reboot. Nora Zuckerman and Lila Zuckerman are set to write the series and serve as showrunners. Notably, original series creator Joss Whedon is not involved in this new project.

While Whedon was at the helm of the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series and its precursor movie, he faced allegations of fostering a toxic work environment during the production of both the TV show and its spinoff, Angel.

Details about the plot of the reboot are still under wraps, but it's confirmed to focus on a new Slayer with the possibility of Gellar returning as Buffy.

The original series revolved around Buffy Summers, a high school student chosen by destiny to fight against demons, vampires, and other supernatural beings. She was supported in her battle by her close friends Willow Rosenberg and Xander Harris, along with her Watcher, Rupert Giles.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer aired from 1997 to 2003, spanning seven seasons. It also led to a spinoff series, Angel, and was further expanded through a series of officially recognized comic books.
