Buffy Star Wants to Return for Reboot – But There’s a Catch

It’s been confirmed by Sarah Michelle Gellar herself that there will be a remake of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” and it seems the fan base has mixed feelings about this news. While many fans are excited, others are expressing apprehension or even worry.

Approximately 25 years have passed since Buffy and her Scooby gang wrapped up their thrilling, world-saving escapades in the final episode of the beloved coming-of-age fantasy series, and now actress Sarah Michelle Gellar, who played Buffy, is teaming up with director Chloé Zhao, a longtime Buffy fan, to create a new series that continues the Slayer’s tale.

Although it seems unlikely that David Boreanaz’s character Angel will be present in the remake, there’s a possibility that Drusilla might show up instead.

Upon being asked if she’d consider coming back, Landau excitedly replied: “Oh, absolutely! It would be such a blast to perform again.

She thinks there may be some truth to the fans’ ideas about how the story should be reworked for a successful revival of the series.

She mentioned that according to everyone’s feedback, there’s a strong desire for a blend of familiar faces from the original cast and fresh talent. She believes this balance will be crucial for the project. In other words, she wants to reintroduce some beloved characters while also adding new ones.

The Buffy icon also urged fans to ‘give the reboot a chance”.

“I think it is perfect timing for a reboot,” she said.

The original “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” series is currently experiencing a surge in popularity that surpasses its initial fame during its TV run. Its popularity seems unstoppable, expanding more and more, and an exceptional group of people have come together to work on its revival.

The pilot for the revival of “Buffy” is being helmed by director Zhao, with screenplay authorship credited to Nora and Lilla Zuckerman, who are known for their work on “Poker Face.
