‘Buffy The Vampire Slayer’ Reboot Starring Sarah Michelle Gellar Nears Hulu Pilot Order With Chloé Zhao Directing

Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot starring Sarah Michelle Gellar is getting a Hulu pilot order. Chloé Zhao will direct, Nora & Lilla Zuckerman wrote it.

More than two decades after Buffy the Vampire Slayer ended its seven-season run, the beloved supernatural drama is eyeing a revival with a new chapter in the franchise. A followup series is nearing a pilot order from Hulu, with Sarah Michelle Gellar expected to star, reprising her signature role as Buffy Summers, sources said. Oscar winner Chloé Zhao, a self-professed lifelong Buffy fan, is set to direct the pilot, written by Nora and Lilla Zuckerman (Poker Face). The reboot hails from Buffy the Vampire Slayer studio 20th Television and Disney sibling Searchlight TV where Zhao has been under a first-look deal.

Beyond the pilot order, I hear the reboot is starting a writers room soon, a sign that Hulu and the studios have high expectations for the project going to series. It is unclear yet whether other original Buffy cast members would return; that is considered likely.

I would've preferred Angel coming back but I'm here for this

I support this but you can't make this a comedy esque vampire series, no romantic shyt between hunters and monsters, and no comedic relief out of the monsters.

Dark comedy is fine but that other shyt is for the kids.

Been hearing good things about Buffy since forever. And still haven’t watched this or The Wire lol. Which show should I watch first?

How did they end up beating The First? I know Buffy didnt do it.

With this reboot though i wonder is it a complete refresh or is it gonna be like the last season where she’s training the next gen of hunters

I hope they don't follow the comics. They can't pull off most of that shyt and it gets really cringe.

Gellar on Dexter right now looks like a skinny soccer mom. I hope she's a mentor or something and not throwing hands
