Is Sarah Michelle Gellar Open To Buffy The Vampire Slayer’s Reboot? Actress Reveals

by

As a devoted fan who grew up watching Buffy The Vampire Slayer, the potential return of Sarah Michelle Gellar to the iconic role has me more than excited! Her recent change of heart about revisiting the show after initially shutting down the idea is music to my ears.

Sarah Michelle Gellar could evoke a sense of nostalgia by potentially reviving Buffy The Vampire Slayer, as she’s shown interest in revisiting the role. The actress has been quite open about her willingness to delve into this possible new venture.

It’s also worth mentioning that Gellar initially rejected the idea of a remake of the previously mentioned series, as reported by Entertainment Weekly. However, during an appearance on Drew Barrymore’s talk show to promote her new project, Dexter: Original Sin (a prequel to the original series), she shared that her stance had evolved.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but share my thoughts with you, dear Sarah. You know that iconic role in “I Know What You Did Last Summer” – well, it’s been on a pedestal for me, untouched because of its perfection and self-contained essence. But lately, watching the continuations like “Sex and the City: And Just Like That” and “Dexter: Original Sin,” I’ve found myself pondering, “Could there be a way?” It’s not a definitive yes, but my mind sure does wander in that direction now.

The actress mentioned that they’re considering various options for the project beyond just creating a prequel or sequel. She hinted to the host that it could encompass “a wide range of possibilities” and that it represents a “multiverse” where these characters are more vital than ever.

The actress who starred in Cruel Intentions has repeatedly expressed interest in a reboot of the famous series, but she’s not keen on it. According to Entertainment Weekly, during her appearance on Mario Lopez’s podcast in 2021, when asked about the reboot, she suggested that she might be the one to lead it because she feels “worn out” and less inclined to take on such demanding work again.

Gellar mentioned that the success of the show lay in the fact that the monsters symbolized, serving as a metaphor for the terrors experienced during adolescence.

Now, with her thoughts on reviving the show having shifted, there’s a glimmer of possibility that we could see it return to our screens.
