Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Sarah Michelle Gellar speaks out on reboot rumours: ‘We are on the path there’ The original series, based on the 1992 film of the same name written by series creator Joss Whedon, followed Gellar’s Buffy Summers as she battles supernatural creatures such as vampires.
Gellar added that she agreed to nothing concrete in the meeting, but it opened her up to the idea of the reboot, until the team, which added Poker Face writers Nora and Lilla Zuckerman, “landed on an idea”.
She’s guided in her quests by her watcher Rupert Giles, played by Anthony Stewart Head, and has a loyal group of friends to help her – powerful witch Willow Rosenberg played by Alyson Hannigan and Xander Harris played by Nicholas Brendon.
“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.
In an Instagram post on Friday, Gellar shared details about the reboot and how the project began as an idea three years ago.
