The star said she’d been inspired by watching the latest installments in the ‘Sex and the City’ and ‘Dexter’ franchises. Sarah Michelle Gellar has suggested she would be open to returning to her signature role in Buffy the Vampire Slayer after seeing how the Sex and the City and Dexter franchises have expanded.

The New York-born actor, 47, is currently appearing in the Dexter prequel series Dexter: Original Sin. While discussing the role on The Drew Barrymore Show, Gellar was asked by the host whether she had considered a return to the supernatural role that made her one of the biggest stars on television from 1997 to 2003.
“It’s funny, I always used to say no, because it’s in its bubble and it’s so perfect,” Gellar responded. “But watching Sex and the City and seeing Dexter, and realizing there are ways to do it, definitely does get your mind thinking, ‘Well, maybe.’”.
When co-star Christian Slater suggested a reboot wouldn’t necessarily have to be a prequel, Gellar agreed. “No, it could be anything,” she said. “It’s a universe. And it makes you realize that in this world, we need those heroes, I think, more so than ever.”.
In October, Gellar confirmed that she will not be returning for the forthcoming I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot, reminding fans that her character Helen Shivers died in the 1997 movie. She led the classic horror film alongside her now-husband Freddie Prinze Jr, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Ryan Phillippe.
