Sarah Michelle Gellar on Potential "Buffy" Revival at Hulu: “We Will Only Make This Show If We Know We Can Do It Right”

Sarah Michelle Gellar is weighing in on the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" revival series that is nearing a pilot order at Hulu.

She posted on Instagram, “Three years ago, I got a call from my dear friend and mentor, Gail Berman. She told me that she wanted me to sit down with Chloé Zhao to hear her take on a potential Buffy revival. I was blown away that Chloé even knew who I was, but, as I’ve always done, I told Gail that I just didn’t see a way for the show to exist again. We’d always been aligned on that, but this time I heard something different in her voice.”

Gellar said she agreed to take on the meeting “mainly just to meet Chloé,” and a “twenty-minute coffee quickly turned into a four-hour adventure,” adding, “We laughed, we cried, but mostly we both talked about how much this show means to us.”





Although nothing was agreed to at that meeting, Gellar noted, “I did shock myself by agreeing to continue the conversation. These conversations did, in fact, continue over the next few years and eventually we added the incredible Nora and Lilla Zuckerman to our little tribe until ultimately, one day, we landed on an idea.”

“I have always listened to the fans and heard your desire to revisit Buffy and her world, but it was not something I could do unless I was sure we would get it right,” she continued. “This has been a long process, and it’s not over yet. I promise you, we will only make this show if we know we can do it right. And I will tell you that we are on the path there.”

“I feel so lucky to be on this journey with these four unbelievably talented women, all of whom love ‘Buffy’ as much as I do. And as much as you do. Thank you to all the fans who never stopped asking for this. This will be for you.”

Sarah Michelle Gellar Debunks "Buffy" Reboot “Fake” Details, Praises Chloé Zhao’s “Passion”
by Glenn Garner
May 1, 2025


After Sarah Michelle Gellar confirmed she’s reprising her role as Buffy Summers, she’s slaying disinformation about the highly-anticipated reboot.

The actress and producer recently debunked “fake characters” and other details that circulated online in March about her upcoming Hulu revival of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", which hails from 2x Oscar winner Chloé Zhao.




“Those are all fake characters. That thing that got released is all fake,” Gellar told Elite Daily of previous reports that the series will center on “a cerebral 16-year-old named Nova … who is very smart and a bit of a loner,” as well as her friends “Hugo, an out-and-proud nerd who comes from money, and Gracie, a young expert on vampires who’s an acolyte of Gellar’s Buffy.”




Although Gellar wouldn’t confirm any actual details about the reboot, she explained how Zhao convinced her to return to the franchise after years of shutting down rumors and speculation.

“Every pitch I heard was just like, ‘Let’s just do Buffy again.’ Why? But the passion that [Zhao] came to me with, what she wanted to do with the show and the character, and why Buffy is needed now — it was the first time where I thought, ‘OK, there’s a reason,'” said Gellar.

Noting the reboot has been in the works for “three-and-a-half, maybe four years now,” Gellar assured, “We won’t do it unless it’s 100% right and there’s 100% a reason.”
