The updates on the coming ”Buffy the Vampire Slayer“Reboot has seeped throughout 2025, so much to minimum Including progress sends fans to a habit. Buffy himself, Sarah Michelle Gellarclearly understand this better than anyone else, so I’m sure she knew exactly what she did when she published a video on Instagram on August 3 is training with Ryan Kiera ArmstrongThe actress dropped to lead Hulu“Buffy” revives.
Gellar’s captions did not reveal much and simply said, “Warrior 1 and 2 we do not sweat … we glitter.”
Armstrong, 15, is supposed to be a new character in the “Buffy” universe, and Gellar himself – of course – is dropped to a return like Buffy Summers. The cast material in May (via Deadline) described Armstrong’s character “as an introverted high school students.”
“From the moment I saw Ryan’s audition, I knew there was only one girl I wanted by my side,” Gellar said. “Having that kind of emotional intelligence and talent, at such a young age is really a gift. The bonus is that her smile even lights up the darkest room.”
Gellar was also a talented young actress when she took the role of Buffy Summers in 1997. She was a little older than Armstrong and turned 20 (now closed) WB series hit the air, but she was already a veteran artist. In 1995, she won Emmy for her day as Kendall Hart – the iconic Erica Kane’s (Susan Lucci) daughter – on “all my children.”
Gellar spoke with Vanity Fair Italia (translation with permission of Vf) In June about “Buffy” comeback … a comeback that she herself opposed.
“For so many years I said no to a possible return of the series,” Gellar said. “I didn’t want to reintroduce something we had already seen. I was waiting for the right time to come. Then (director Chloé Zhao), a big “Buffy” fan, suggested the project for me, and I accepted. The gestation was long. It’s been three years, and we are still working on it. “
She annoyed that the tone would be easier than where the original “Buffy” landed during its last seasons, which was broadcast on (the also-now-yielded) Upn after a network switch. She also wants to see a lot of comebacks from the original role. “We will try to find a balance between new and old characters,” she said. “My dream is to get back everyone who has died, but space must also be made for new stories.”
In June, Gellar told Parade That the series would be praised to the late Michelle Trachtenberg, who played her sister Dawn from 2000-2003. “We will be able to do something,” Gellar said. “We do what is appropriate.”
Right now it’s just a pilot order for the restart – and clear filming is neigh, considering Gellar and Armstrong’s training video. However, with the original series’ great fanbase and Gellar’s commitment, it is difficult to see a world where this does not raise “Buffy” from the dead.
