The New "Buffy" Is Not a Reboot: Sarah Reveals Everything
Sarah Michelle Gellar has shared details about the upcoming series set in the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" universe for Hulu. The project, titled "New Sunnydale," is not a reboot but a continuation of the original story, exploring the world years later.
It will feature new characters, such as Ryan Kiera Armstrong's heroine, and the plot will focus on the restored Sunnydale High. Gellar will return to the role of Buffy in a cameo and serve as an executive producer.
The idea for the project came from director Chloé Zhao, who managed to convince the actress to carefully continue the legacy of the iconic series.
Filming of the pilot episode has already finished, but the team is not rushing the release, aiming first to create a high-quality and conceptually coherent continuation that will meet fans' expectations. The exact release date has not yet been announced.
