Almost officially confirmed, the much-awaited revival of the beloved series “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” is moving forward at Hulu. The iconic character’s actress has spoken up about the new production, providing fans with insights and addressing any questions they might have.

In the late 90s and early 2000s, “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” stood out as one of the most influential fantasy TV series, building on the foundation laid by its film predecessor from creator Joss Whedon. The show was more favorably received due to its adherence to Whedon’s original vision for the character. Running for seven seasons from 1997 to 2003, it left viewers disappointed when it ended. Since then, fans have been campaigning for a revival, which continues to this day. These dedicated “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” fans were thrilled by the news that Hulu was working on a revival, with Sarah Michelle Gellar set to reprise her iconic title role in it.

Ever since the news about the “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” revival became public knowledge, Sarah Michelle Gellar has been actively involved in reassuring fans and providing updates on minor adjustments. Lately, she’s opened up more about her sentiments regarding the show’s return. In a chat with People magazine about the upcoming Hulu revival, Gellar shared that the road to potential production wasn’t always smooth sailing. “I can’t find a better word than overwhelming,” she admitted, “It’s heartening and exhilarating, but also nerve-wracking at the same time. It’s nerve-wracking because you have to get it right. And I believe we have an exceptional team for this task, from Chloé Zhao to the Zucks [Nora and Lilla Zuckerman], to Gail Berman. I think people are going to be quite impressed.

The article reported that Sarah Gellar expressed excitement about the upcoming revival of the show, stating fans would be amazed. It further detailed the key creative personnel involved. Chloé Zhao is slated to direct, with Nora and Lilla Zuckerman penning the script and serving as showrunners. All three women will also serve as executive producers, along with Gellar, Gail Berman, Fran and Kaz Kuzui from the original series, and Dolly Parton, who was a producer on the original series but remained uncredited. Parton has been considering joining a revival project like this one. Gellar also told People that the Buffy the Vampire Slayer revival will follow in the footsteps of Scream by introducing fresh talent. The new series will focus on a new Slayer, while Gellar’s character Buffy will appear as a recurring figure.

Although seven years have passed since the original “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” series ended in 2002, there’s still immense potential for the upcoming reboot to explore. Joss Whedon’s work on the Dark Horse comics provides several comic arcs that could be successfully adapted for the new show. While specific details are yet to be confirmed at Hulu, the writing process is expected to progress swiftly due to the extensive pre-production work that went into reviving the series.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer is available to stream on Hulu.
