Sarah Michelle Gellar wants to ‘bring everyone back’ in the new Buffy

Sarah Michelle Gellar hopes for a serious revival in the upcoming reboot “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”.

In a recent interview with Vanity Fair ItaliaGellar, who played the titular vampire -laying heroine in the 1997 series, said she hopes for a huge “buffy” reunion in the reboot. That means that all characters from the past return, even if they died in the original.

“It will be lighter than the last few seasons of the original,” said Gellar. “We will try to find a balance between new and old characters. My dream is to bring everyone back who died, but the space will also have to be made for new stories.”

In February it was revealed that Hulu was approaching a pilot order for a follow -up series “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”. A few months later, in May, Ryan Kiera Armstrong was officially called the Series Lead. It was also revealed that Gellar will shine in the pilot and then continue as Buffy in a recurring role.

“From the moment I saw Ryan’s audition, I knew there was only one girl I wanted by my side,” said Gellar about Armstrong’s casting. “To have that kind of emotional intelligence and talent, it is really a gift at such a young age. The bonus is that her smile even lights up the darkest room.”

Nora Zuckerman and Lila Zuckerman will write, showrun and executive produce the “Buffy” reboot. Chloé Zhao will send the pilot and executive products. Gellar will also produce Executive in addition to Gail Berman. Fran Kuzui and Kaz Kuzui will produce Executive under the Suite B banner, while Dolly Parton Executive will produce under Sandollar. 20th television and search light television serve as producers. Berman, De Kuzuis and Parton All Executive produced the original “Buffy” series.
